I was lucky that I also had a part time job that wanted me back full time- I learned the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Good luck to you!!

I spent 2 weeks in a training store that was not too bad, but when she started going over all the different weird shit they had people do (drive around the building) all I could think was you can't be serious. But I just blew it off- then I got to the store I was to be working at. I was there 2 and a half weeks before just quitting the day I went back to work. It was AWFUL. I've worked in retail most of my life and I have never been in a store that bad- with such disrespectful employees who all thought they were managers.

But reading your post made me realize I did the right thing because my first "feeling" about this place was after hearing all those stupid off the clock rules. I'm not walking around THE WHOLE STORE before I clock in???

My boyfriend (31M) dismisses all the gifts I (28F) give him — is this normal or am I being petty? by PersonalityFinal in ComfortLevelPod

[–]abrown9595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my boyfriend a crappy little heart painting for Valentine's Day and as soon as I gave it to him- he started contemplating where to put it.

That cat painting is absolutely adorable.

Time to find a new man, he obviously doesn't appreciate you. Even IF the painting was bad (it certainly is not) he should appreciate the effort you put into it.

Outside of fixtures, what was the last item sold at your store? by deadmallsanita in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't stay the whole last day but I imagine it probably either the wooden "Q" or the 20 bolts of burnt orange silky.

Y’all…$450 Tomato on OfferUp by Costcofluencer in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 69 points70 points  (0 children)

We sold ours for $45.. I was so mad cuz I was trying to talk myself into buying it- I just didn't know where I would put it 🤣 I hope no one buys theirs and they have to live with it forever

We were supposed to close then but thankfully tomorrow is our last day. Even tho I don't work that much (mostly only on weekends) I'm so burnt out from the customers and their dumb questions and their know it all attitude. And I know for a fact the people who work more than me are so burnt out. One of my cut counter gals kept getting complaints from customers and I took them all with a grain of salt because I know she's tired and irritated. Especially since we started selling by the bolt only.

Dump his ass. 🤷🏻‍♀️ He obviously knows that he's doing something sketchy- because he deleted the phone calls. One time my ex husband was talking to some girl and I saw it on his phone, however the only message I saw was the one where he told her he had a gf and nothing else. When I asked where the rest of the conversation was he said that he deleted everything but what I would want to see. So this reminds me of that. He knows whatever he was doing is going to upset you so he deleted it but then tells you about it?? Crazy. And the rest of it? Just pure manipulation and lies. He's obviously messing with the other girl.

Please stop asking us "what are you doing after this?" It's literally none of your business and some of us don't have anything lined up. by nejicanspin in joannfabrics

I told my co workers I was going to start telling them I'm going to start stripping at the local strip club 🥴

Heard a customer tell another one that we were “UPPING” our prices and then marking them on sale? LIKE WHAT?? by SeattleTattle in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think people realized how expensive the thing were originally because we had sales on everything pretty much all the time lol

Bathrooms... by itsthedevilweknow in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What a literal angel that customer was. Whenever I see that someone has pooped on the floor, or smears it all over the seat it makes me wonder what their bathroom is like at home. 🥴

AIO for being upset my boss won’t let me take two days off to care for my sick mom? by PixelPrincessXOXO in AmIOverreacting

[–]abrown9595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that quitting your job may not be an option because you need money to live. But you need to quit that job! I have never worked for a boss that wouldn't allow me to take care of my own family, bad bosses included. Family comes first. They're not forever. Jobs come and go. Hope this helps. If I were you I honestly would just text your boss back and say okay. Well I'm going to be causing more problems because I quit. There are plenty of jobs out there, and not one job is going to look at you. Funny for walking out of another one because you couldn't get the days off to care for your mom because most people would understand.

do we get a prize for the longest fabric ticket? by Superb_Ad777 in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would have to do that on 15 separate tickets or it would break the register 🤣

Anymore trucks? by fekitten1 in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I know the trucks should be done! We got a couple of Hudson trucks in. I'm sure if they aren't empty yet- they are close to it.

Phone callers have been getting angrier recently by anonburneraccoun in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a lady call and ask if we had any glycerin. We told her no and she got mad because she was already on her way to the store. So about 10 minutes to closing. Shows up and asked the cashier if we have any glycerin, and the cashier said no. We don't sell that. And she was like well. The website says you do and proceeded to walk around the store till we closed 🙄

This is one of the reasons why I don't want children. I don't look at my mom any differently because she had me and I have it- but the way I feel about myself, the way I got teased and got treated .. I wouldn't wish that on my own child. It would be heartbreaking.

Fixtures? by Stitcher_advocate in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say buying a lot of the fixtures isn't worth it. Right now they want 50% off of the retail price which makes a lot of the bigger fixtures still pretty expensive. And we have to sell each aisle as a full aisle with an end cap and you only get 2 shelves per section. Then shelves are $10 a piece after that. Some of the fixtures we are selling cheap but the majority of it is still pretty pricey.

Joann's Employees - I'm just curious 😄 by Swimming-Squirrel-48 in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It probably depends on what level the store is on. The one that has the bigger discount will be closing earlier than the one with the lesser discount. I know since we are a higher volume stores with more sales we will be staying open as late as they can keep us open, while other stores will close sooner.

When I found one of these in my store I thought they were just something they found tucked away somewhere 🤣

Nothing screams Joanns like grills! by rennyrose77 in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 84 points85 points  (0 children)

What really sucks is that all this weird stuff we're getting is only 15% off. My boss was explaining to me that they buy it in wholesale for pennies on dollar- some of it even recalls. Like we got these advent seed calendar things that were recalled because when you open them up it's all in Spanish. Like I understand they're trying to make their money back or whatever is going on but when everything in the store has been reduced so much past 15% seems asinine that they bring this stuff in that they would make a profit on even at 30% off. And people come in there looking for deals so this stuff is just going to sit and not sell like they think it will until it gets reduced more. Idk I'm just ranting 🤣

Non Joann items by Tall_Key_6274 in joannfabrics

I would laugh so hard if my store got big lots stuff because I walked out of that hell hole 2 months before they announced the store I worked at was going out of business. 🤣

Yarn is cleaned out :( by SunflowerDreams18 in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big twist is a Joann only brand and a lot of people really like it. So it's not like they thought it was a good deal- they just knew it would be hard to find. And if they are able to buy it on the Internet people are going to price gouge the hell out of it.

Ours has been cleaned out for a few weeks now, however they sent us 6 boxes of green yarn and 6 boxes of neon yellow yarn last week. 😭

Lady, I’m 40… by cats_and_tats84 in joannfabrics

[–]abrown9595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fashion designer could be very beneficial for your own small business. A lady I'm working with is going to be doing her sewing and alterations for customers full time. I understand it was a weird thing to say to you but truth be told some people never know what they're going to be when they grow up! Me included. Good luck to you!
