I went in after being sent there by Timberline on a search for deck paint. I wasn't certain what kind of paint I needed but thought I needed oil based paint and was informed by the employee at the paint counter that Ace does not carry any oil based paint only acrylic. I explained that I had a very old deck and needed to cover the old pressure treated wood that was being scraped and repainted. After being ignored, then passed over to a new employee since it was his lunch break, the paint attendant employee sold me stain along with rollers and paint liners - staining an old deck is not appropriate and would not had enough coverage. I went home and was immediately told by my partner that the stain would not work and that we needed something with a primer included. Given I have not opened the can of paint I thought I may be able to return it and get the right stuff which was absolutely not allowed apparently. When I went back in to talk to Ace in Gloucester to try to rectify the situation I was greeted with clueless employees who called the team leader up to the counter who called the paint department who called up another woman. How can a team leader, store manager, department manager not be able to assist and also say that the stain was the correct deck paint? I bet if I were a man they would not have been so patronizing and rude. After explaining the situation to 5 people, I left the unopened can of $55 stain, my receipt with them and left the store and I will never go back to this Ace Hardware. What a shock since I have been shopping at Ace for many many years just not the one in Gloucester. They are horrible. Now I am back online trying to figure out what kind of paint I need to for the old deck - is Hometown Ace a Hardware store? Shame on this store manager - If this review does get read by an owner please please focus on training your employees correctly and tell your employees to hold the snarky.
