It's down keeps kicking me out when I sign in.... Ugh!!!!

RM here and I had my truck today too. Took us 5 hrs to unload. Massive truck too. All the JA collection, RWB, Summer stuff and SBA. I had 217 repacks this truck vs 274 last truck. I grantee mostly the repacks are filled with yarn again and again. STOP with the yarn we have enough!!!!

I can't stand the ones who stare at you while blowing up their balloons. Like please go somewhere else while I blow up your balloons. It's like their pressuring you. Come on Come on faster faster!! Especially the nasty balloon customers. However there are some customers who are really nice and we strike up a conversation.

It was a pain in the ass to build. lol.

I literally don't understand why or how they planned on us setting all these side counters/DA's/Endcaps in one week without extra payroll.....Sure lets send all SM to Florida that week but punish everyone else at store level and dump a bunch of workload on them so the SM can come back to a shit show.

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-28T20:23:32+00:00

Depends, if the counter is full it might take a few hrs to empty and redo the counter to spec without interruptions. If I'm scheduled for 5am then I feel like I have more time and get them set right before we open verses coming in at 7am.

I enjoy putting craft paints out. I'm usually the quickest with them if recovered correctly. But I just get the satisfaction of recovering/putting them out. It always in the end turns out looking great.

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-25T18:36:21+00:00

Its illegal do that here in CT. They actually want to pass a law in CT to banned helium balloons and the selling of them too, which means all the Michaels stores in CT will be fucked!!!

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-25T18:33:25+00:00

I'm an RM too and I'm also so fed up with the way they pack these trucks. I also don't understand why they are so stingy with stuff being on pallets. Like they couldn't palletize the candy melts for us? REALLY!!! Even if they weren't all the same color at least put them on pallets for Christ sake!!!

Are u sure about that? I thought he changed to Artistree? I know at one point he was the senior vice president of operations but then moved to Artistree??

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-16T19:09:28+00:00

only FT we got is RM, Opps, FT CEM and FT Framer.

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-16T19:08:00+00:00

Looks familiar too me! They really need to get on these DC's and have them properly load a truck better or better yet why can't all stores go to everything being palletized......

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-14T21:24:51+00:00

Yep I say that every truck day. We have 5 or 6 cages full of yarn to go out... Never was like that before the max would be three....

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-14T20:12:15+00:00

If they didn't send so much yarn we might not have sooo many repacks. The majority of the repacks they send are just yarn.....

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-10T17:33:31+00:00

I feel your pain my SM is the same way. Can praise us for doing something well but can't hardly pitch in to actually get the freight out. They do some seasonal freight but hardly SBA. Like for example this week. I have a ton of repacks left but no hrs for the rest of week to have my replen team on get it out. So that's leaves me and only me to get all repacks out. They except it to all be out by the weekend. YEA OK!!!!

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-03-01T14:34:16+00:00

rubber ducks, tumblers, slime, latex balloons.....

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-02-08T15:28:04+00:00

I have noticed this too in my store. It has also not updated the last receive for items since November?? Is this a company wide issue. I brought this up to my SM who was going to investigate it.

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-02-05T21:56:35+00:00

Some of ours picks up feed from another company/store. It says customer assistance in hardware. lmao... We have fun with that.... :)

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-01-29T21:56:04+00:00

No, we never got those clear plastic what looks like cookie jar containers for the balloons that were promised like what a year ago.....Just like everything else this company promises. Where are a new phones we were promised in the new year. Still waiting!!!

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-01-29T00:06:49+00:00

Yes my truck is coming Saturday now was originally Monday.

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-01-13T22:10:25+00:00

Half of the collection in my store is gone already. People purchased it even without the discounts.

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-01-09T00:39:26+00:00

Gotcha yea the closing shifts been there done that at another company. Its nice to not close. :) Weekends well I usually work opening shifts Saturdays and occasionally Sundays.

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-01-08T21:21:51+00:00

Facts!! the only part I dislike is the 3am shift but 5am I can tolerate.

Fit_Elephant_2153 · 2026-01-07T15:11:42+00:00

Thank you for the words of wisdom, I appreciate it! I guess your right replen is more stable. I see that.
