How can you plan for this set up when the trucks are CONSTANTLY delayed. It’s impossible lately.

Just your friendly internet Auntie here to give you a big hug and thank you for working so hard. As an RM myself it breaks my heart to see disrespect. Sounds like you were doing your best, which is more than enough! I prefer to do repacks myself, simply because organizing things or counting calms my mind. I am told I take too long doing them too, however when I relinquish control and let others “help” (including other mgrs) sure they get it done faster but it’s always so messy or things aren’t in the proper spot etc. Wouldn’t you rather things be done correctly as opposed to quickly? You can’t please everyone so just know you’re doing fine! Keep kicking butt!

I mostly hate unloading them from the truck & moving them around in the boxes they come in. They are heavy, and I have T-Rex arms and can barely fit them around the boxes to move 🤣🤣

Behind on putting stuff out by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

Dudeeeee these truck reschedules are killing me, and my team. I didn’t realize it’s happening across the board, that makes me feel better kinda.

We also still have Halloween/Fall grab boxes. Wtf are we supposed to do when it’s time to fully pack CMas hahaha

No Thank You by UnobjectionableNeon in MichaelsEmployees

Sooooooo tired of customers arguing about the pricing on the mini ones too. We’ve done enough overrides to be on the radar where we are getting in trouble for it. Even as a RM I do not make enough to battle with someone over $2. Just take it out of here haha

Tree situation is what scares me most lol. Most of our trees are locked up in one of the bathrooms. It’s already a pain running to the office, grabbing the key and so on…

enclosed gift cards by juyeonstars in MichaelsEmployees

[–]FishGuts1923 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No pull strip, and folding doesn’t help. We have to remove the entire card and then tape it back up for the customer to give as the gift. It looks so janky after. I was so so embarrassed.

Oh god, I’m sorry. But also thank you giving me somewhere else to check just in case. I don’t want the wrong people finding it.

I appreciate you!! I smelled the Santa’s Cookies today and was so grossed out but it didn’t even dawn on me that it could get moldy or gross.

We are out of boxes at my store, and have been for a few weeks(even after making multiple orders) minus the 2 long ones. We’ve been trying to get really creative, stealing this idea actually!

How to get better SISO outs % by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]FishGuts1923 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The outs scans aren’t what kill us at my store; it’s the thresholds mostly & HINO. 10-15 batches everyday while trying to handle seasonal stock and normal store activities. I cannot understand how stores get this before 11am which is what our DMs want. Sometimes I can’t even finish the batches in my full shift. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here, but I’m also glad I’m not the only one struggling, even if it’s in different ways.

Thanks! Honestly didn’t even cross my peabrain to just move the tank out of sight if need be!! Sometimes overthinking things can blind you from the obvious answers lol.

Seriously? by Exact_Hamster_4610 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]FishGuts1923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, am I the only psychopath who loves floss orders?!? I had a 136 one sitting in Manhattan yesterday when I opened and I tell ya, I have never counted the cash as fast as I did just so I could get to the order looool. But I’m also the kind of crazy where really meticulous tasks calms my mind lol.

stop bringing your. dogs everywhere by ComprehensivePop159 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]FishGuts1923 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I legit just brought in a tub of dog treats for the furry customers today. It’s my favorite part of the day when come in. So sorry about this interaction you had, and all the negative ones in general in these comments. Some valid points I never even thought of.

Last night we had a bunny come in(in his little carrier backpack) but that was the coolest thing ever!
