Bugged me for a week" over a rodding tip? Sounds a bit much.

Wait, a single bucket and a roller came out to $74? That is wild. My brain keeps wanting to read it as $47 and I have to go back and look again. I get that paint got more expensive like everything else, but that jump is hard to swallow. We used to treat a bucket of the good stuff as a normal purchase, not something you think about for a week. At these prices I would probably buy the cheaper brand and just accept doing two coats.

That store didn't lose regulars cause of the logo itself, they lost them cause of the price hikes or bad service that came along with the rebrand. Plenty of places slap on a new logo and keep every single customer. In my experience people blame the most visible change for stuff that was already going wrong.
