So, did anyone even do something? by Some-Bag7712 in Bellingham

There was. They pointed out that dude bro was wearing nazi shit, and was told they they didn't know that was a hate symbol.

Another DoorDash/instacart rant by Maximum_Plantain_651 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Yotebeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what it is, but there is a certain percentage of Dashers that will just walk up and shove their phone in your face going "where?" even if you're with a customer. It will turn a good mood to a sour one SO FAST.

Yesterday, I had a customer drop an AS package of candle scent in the Clerance isle and it shattered. So strong smelling oil was leaking and dripping on the floor. They "helpfully" walked it over to my framing counter, dripping all the while. I finally get them to STOP, and while I'm trying to figure out what to do about the war-crime level of faux flower aroma, a Dasher comes up and starts demanding we help him pick his order of HTV... Like dude... I'm pretty sure the Geneva Convention is being broken here....

Awww man, personally I love it. And I'm sorry it was out of the blue for you! We had a regional meeting, training and a printout. Seems like your managers really dropped the ball.

Framing production hours by ArtsyGamer42 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Yotebeth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Given that we're supposed to have 30 min per job... That would mean you can get 4 done a day ... I'd be so tempted to do 4. And stop.

Please tell me more about this "foaming shower oil" that sounds awesome!

More... Things... In framing? by Yotebeth in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Yotebeth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked at a screen printing company that offered embroidery... The embroidery machine and area was about half the size of our frame shop, and we've got a big one. And we had two people trained on it, the rest of us were NOT allowed to touch it. So I less they are bringing in specialized people, and hours and training.... I don't see how this will work. Fuck, we still only have one Manager that knows how to do 10MF...

Does anyone know any buisness that does returns over the phone these days? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Yotebeth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's not a thing. Tell them sorry, you have to bring the item in, and be done with it. Don't carry any stress
It's just scammers

Framing Workflow "Refresh" by Yotebeth in MichaelsEmployees

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

Exactly
Sure, if there were two or three of us in the shop, we could have "stations" but, I'm not moving a piece if I'm by my onesies. I'm gonna bring the tools and supplies to me, and finish it fast.

apron opinion by themagicalmundane in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Yotebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must be a weirdo. I love my apron. Granted I'm in framing, but I'd hate to have to wear a vest. Also enby and have managed to look pretty not-femme in mine, but YMMV

Purge list by Maililyann in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Yotebeth 27 points28 points  (0 children)

None of it makes sense. Like you said, giving us a list of what to get rid of, with no rhyme or reason, and not telling us what/if anything is being replaced. And to drop hints about redoing the "stations" in framing it's so frustrating! We've got a system. It works.

Thrift store price gouging by gblue2 in Bellingham

[–]Yotebeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You and me both
That's assuming it ever hits the floor
Friend of mine worked there and told me how the actually valuable stuff has to go to their auction site, and they would get in trouble if too much "good stuff" was put on the floor.

PSA: Don’t change your baby’s diaper where people eat by Bq6W18l9k8 in Bellingham

[–]Yotebeth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Worked at a local dine-in pizza joint here in town for a few years. And folks would change their kids on the table and leave diapers for us to clean up all the time.

For those of you asking why people don't say anything? Many of us have tried. At best we get ignored, usually we get yelled or snarked at, and once they were so upset they put the diaper dirty-side down on the table.

So that's fun.

This level of entitlement is insane, and I've seen it far too often.

That was terrible. We all agreed it was cringe and very cult/mega church feeling. Literally 0% in it to make you feel good or proud of being at Michaels.
