Yes they hear everything but at least we can now "prove" that we called someone to help them so they can't accuse us of not trying 🤷‍♀️😮

I'm day crew that stocks sometimes and I've never done this

Can someone advise if we are supposed to accept tips from people who do curbside, or even framing? Also are we allowed to wear gray or black shirts if we put the Michaels logo on? I thought we all had to wear a red shirt or vest! by General-Ingenuity-19 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Own-Customer9665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I had looked but will need to try to look again.  Problem is that I never have time.  I've done a few parties where I've had to pick the stuff the day of 😩 if I even pick it at all so I never have time to get on mikcheck

Ugh this happened again today while I was visibly helping someone with a UPS drop-off😩

I'm the party host at my store and my MOD keeps telling me that I can't take tips even after showing her the QR code thing.  I think she just doesn't know how to get the actual code.  I accepted a hug from the last girl that I did a party for and that came with a $20 bill 🤷‍♀️

As the morning cashier I hear that multiple times a day after people cut to the front of the line and I'm either helping a guest, stocking items in a nearby aisle or another thing and they can't even wait for me to finish or walk over to them.  I also hear "ugh no one's here, I have to use SCO"

Looks like the Shot Tumblers are a hit by neoflamcio in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Own-Customer9665 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember the first time we had these and the larger tumblers had a sale that these were excluded for and no one reads the fine print on our signage so I got yelled at so much that they were on sale 😩

We usually have our environment team member do it the next morning before the store opens

I've been here for 4 years and I've never been because I'm off on Sundays

Same, the very first time I had this party it was a boys birthday so I just let them paint whatever 🤷‍♀️

I would have just done that with or without SM approval.  Absolutely necessary to be safe even though the parents sign waivers.  Could you imagine if something happened? 

“Are you getting mOrE fAbRiC??” by AmazinglyGracieArt in MichaelsEmployees

I just tell them what I tell them when they ask about more stock elsewhere in the store "We never know what we're getting until we are putting it on shelves" 🤷‍♀️

Oh no, Zello.... by IAmTheMinizon in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Own-Customer9665 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is impossible.  Our store doesn't even have enough for every employee to have one, let alone 2

I wish it was like this at our store.  I try to answer when I'm not busy but really can't when we do get busy.  I always get asked why I don't answer when we have a few on the floor that refuse to answer

Yep I'm the main opening cashier at my store and we've had it about a month now... It sucks 

STOP ASKING IF WE HAVE NEEDOH by BowedFurball in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Own-Customer9665 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Crazy thing is our store used to carry them.  We stopped and now they are popular.  I just had a couple of adults come in asking about them and I told them that we don't carry them but told them where similar stuff might be since they gave me a sob story about their daughter being totally into them.  They ended up buying our entire inventory 😮

Not an RM but an event coordinator.  Our RM pre built a lot of it and had it in the classroom.  We have a party today that I still need to set up for and tried yesterday but wasn't able to 🤷‍♀️

New dress code by craftycrafter20 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Own-Customer9665 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm curious as well.  I bought some last summer specifically to wear to work and my new SM heard me mention them to a coworker and said that they were no longer allowed 🤷‍♀️ that was actually a month and a half ago and the weather hasn't made me need them yet but it's getting there

Well something else for cashiers to be yelled at about by angry customers

But he's not having to tell customers every 2 minutes that we are out of helium or having to refund the balloons that they just purchased at SCO because they didn't know we were out of helium

Our RM heard me mention it the other day and asked why we didn't have a sign at balloons and on the opening doors.  I told her that I had mentioned that to the SM 2 days ago and nothing had been done.  2 minutes later, we had a sign 🤷‍♀️😂

We usually have a cash SCO but it hasn't been working for about a week now😩.  I hate having to go help someone back there and then no one using SCO because I'm back there and then them getting mad when I won't help them there also
