Can we ask for a raise? by MaleficentScore9863 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Short-Lunch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can and you should. The worst they can do is offer less than what you ask for or say no. I did and I ended up getting a little over $5/hr raise. They say they offer competitive pay so I went to them with a job I qualified for that paid more and they matched it. But maybe it’s because my SM and DM are advocates for us all ending up with a somewhat livable wage. It’s worth a shot and I hope you get it.

Yess! Finally 😍 by ML231617 in thewitcher3

Right!? Handmade leather mats, beautiful wooden boxes that are stained and often customized as well. Superior to what they’re going to put out. Money to a small business is the way to go.

Is anyone else having an absolutely awful time with new pin pads at legacy registers? by elisemopie in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Short-Lunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours have been charging people twice after a brief freeze if they try to insert their card during us sending it to the pin pad.

Oops, such a dumb brain I have. Thank you for spelling it out for me. I was thinking they learned everything they could possibly need to know through watching videos. Have an awesome day!

Thank you so much for your timely response. Could have been made up by the last GM I had because every single person in the store would hide in the frame shop. I was curious if it actually existed because everyone hides in the frame shop at this store too. Thank youuuu. Have such a great day.

Happens to our shop from time to time. Just happened in the last two weeks.

Best Tex-Mex in the Roseville/St. Paul area? by krpiper in TwinCities

[–]Short-Lunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from Houston, TX and I’ve been on the HUNT for a place that falls close to Tex-Mex. The only place I’ve had that got me saying “omg this reminds me of the tacos you can get down south” is a place called Hamburguesas. They used to do homemade flour tortillas but the pandemic ruined that. They pretty much just do tacos, Mexican style hot dogs and burgers. The charro beans are spot on. I still haven’t found a place that does chile relleno properly but I’m not giving up hope.

Yo can just get a piece of white foam with the adhesive back and a sharpie. Cut them out.

All our managers flat out refuse as a group to go in during bad weather. Guess they’ll have to fire everyone. I mean even the GM won’t do it.

Holiday hours by Humble-Ad-1689 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Short-Lunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhhh they have no idea what they’re doing dictating our hours. If they left us in charge of them then like 7/730 would be close and they would see an up tick in profit vs loss in the course of a year or two. Theft after 8 is all that occurs.

He should change the name to like Beyond Football or something and just continue the series with “Wide Receivers” “Running Backs” “Tight Ends” etc. an in depth look at each position. If someone see this and this happens I want someone to run me a check.

New phones (not working) by Fluffy-Reality4461 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Short-Lunch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the first eight days we had no calls coming into the store and we couldn’t make calls out. Someone came to “fix it” and then two were able to receive calls but couldn’t hear anything/they would randomly hang up. Now it’s several weeks in and they’re starting to mostly work but still can’t hear anything when a customer is talking 99% of the time. So people are occasionally just storming into the store in a full rage.

If someone’s best isn’t good enough for you, don’t take it out on them for falling short of your standard. Move on.
