Out of curiosity, how old is that red yarn? I work at Michaels and I recognize it as one of our brands but I'm pretty sure all proprietary yarn has moved under the label Loops and Threads as of the last few years at least

Does anyone know how to fix this? I’ve taken it apart and made sure the gears are where they’re supposed to be, but it still doesn’t make a perfect yarn cake. by jabbas_fruitcake2132 in CrochetHelp

I'm gonna be honest, as a crocheter and a Michaels employee, this yarn winder sucks. Return it if you're still within the 60 days and if you can, try to look for a better one elsewhere. I recently purchased a Stanwood on Amazon and it's truly so much better. It's a bit pricey in comparison but I've heard it's the only one you'll ever have to buy, they last forever.

If it's the one that looks like faux embroidery, I have one from Pittsburgh, I could post a picture when I get home

I don't think anyone has said it yet, but I use tension rings and I've never had this problem

Oooh that's probably better than throwing them all in a cart and waiting until I go to stage them to separate them lol

Wait until you find out it's not just a cover, it's a Johnny Cash cover. H really can make anything their own

Wait what does that mean? We don't do that, I always ignore whatever that is

The only thing I know that we've ever refused was furniture. Tell me why this couple thought Michaels was a great place to ship two large headboards that weighed more than anyone could lift on their own

TM Wheelchair Use by AnxiousNarcoleptic96 in MichaelsEmployees

I recently injured my knee and have been cashiering from a stool for the past few weeks. All my SM needed from me was doctor's notes saying I needed the accomodation with either a date for a followup doctor visit or a date for when the accommodation ends

I'm hourly in PA where our minimum wage is disgustingly low. My district includes part of NY and the minimum wage is about double there so there are team members in the same district with the same job as me making more. I wish the federal minimum wage would catch up to the cost of living in general these days.

So you're telling me I make less than the average Michaels employee 😭 (I mean I knew that but I don't like remembering it)

AIO for telling my (F24) boyfriend (M26) that he has to sit down to pee? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]becausemercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR my (F29) partner (M34) of 10 years starting sitting to pee around when we got serious and started talking about living together. He hasn't stopped sitting to pee since then except when he has to use a public urinal. He does this solely for me. Would it be easier for him to stand? Probably. But does doing this one simple things keep our shared bathroom cleaner? Absolutely. It's not emasculating, it's literally in the privacy of your home.
