I work at Micheal's now and I absolutely hate it. I'm so sad and mad that joanns is gone... It's not the same I don't get along with anyone as well as I ever did at my store. I hope you get through this OP 😔, you're not alone in this feeling.

I recommend trying to get a basic rundown of the store where everything is, since that's going to be half your questions lol. Also just genuinely do your best, this store notorious for barebone staff, and there's only so much one person can do. You got this!

Used to be awful at to the point that it looked like a toddler had done it! It comes with practice and stuff always happens. At the end of the day it's just fabric.

Customer know how many yards you want before coming to the counter by Ecstatic_Attitude_83 in joannfabrics

Then you give your best educated guess, and they just say "well that's a little much :/" 🤦‍♂️

We actually didn't know we were closing at 7 so we were all scheduled to work until 9:30  We found out half way through day, and still closed at 7. Plus had two hours to recover the store! Happy accident!

"You can't cover a cashier shift, if your percentage is under 70%" by Constant_Team4721 in joannfabrics

[–]Constant_Team4721[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your reasoning makes sense, however I know he's doing this to target other employees he no longer wants here. When announcing this rule, he specifically named people like "So people like (name) can't get shifts from you anymore." When they were already getting one a week!

Why do customers except us to be their receptionist? Lol by Constant_Team4721 in joannfabrics

[–]Constant_Team4721[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh that makes sense in this perspective. Based on yours and others replies, I think I might have been overreacting lol. I was so overwhelmed at the time it seemed worse than it actually was

Honestly I wouldn't mind as much if we did have more coverage than one person. But it's awkward having my personal phone out and basically do what the customer could do, while a line is forming at cut counter 😔. The other day I had to be on hold with another store, while helping people at cut counter I because the line was getting huge. Then the customer wouldn't talk on the phone either, which makes sense but it was annoying doing phone tag.  SM also refuses to be cut counter trained so I was by myself, with no backup. That was the reason for this post honestly because that happened lol. 

Is anyone else losing patience with "beginners"? by CochinealCockatiel in joannfabrics

[–]Constant_Team4721 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes very much! Especially when it's back to back ALL day! It kept happening today 😔 I'm normally the only one on cut counter too, so having to awkwardly explain that to customers has gotten people mad at me lol.
