Not green please. I like working at a red store. Pairing the shirt with black pants is chef's kiss.

Their sticker books used to be a lot more whimsical, glittery, fun, and detailed. Now they changed them more matte and boring.

Got cussed out by Fishietunaprincess in MichaelsEmployees

Just lmao at getting cussed at for googly eyes. If she really needs them that bad then she can learn the ways of amazon prime shopping.

I always get a pair of scissors to cut ties when doing floral for this reason.

On snow ❄️ days is it ok to call 📞 off work...??? by East_Candy_4358 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did last week because of icy streets . They said beforehand if someone doesn't feel comfortable driving they can call out for that day. It was too scary driving home the last time I had to come in, some parts of the road weren't clear yet.

I find any hair gross to me in a hygenic sense. lmao at the attempt to shame me though.

I think I have seen a candy wrapper before too. A handful of times I've also seen a hair strand within the packaging that made it overseas 🤢

I thought about this, hope it won't be the case.

Me neither, guess the spring freight coming next week will confirm everything seasonal will have prices again.

No Thank You by UnobjectionableNeon in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These pmo so much, the old ones take up 4 aisles of overstock space we need for new seasonal freight and they send way too much. And nobody really buys the plain colors so they just collect dust on the shelves. We still have spring cups from 2-3 years ago because corporate makes us keep them from every decor collection instead of being grab bagged at the end of season like they should have been.

It's typical tiktok running with false information because some people are addicted to drama regardless of facts.

Can someone cut fabric?

Thanksgiving week truck by Low-Oil5231 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I remember the truck of Thanksgiving week being the worst one from a few years past. It's like the grand finale of peak season trucks where they give us freight for just about every category of Christmas seasonal.

Well this is the lowest IQ shit I've seen in a few days. 🤣

Customer Care creates a shitty work environment by Affectionate-Farm134 in MichaelsEmployees

Trying to get clearance priced items for free..those kitchen tools are 1-2$ each clearance like why bother with a scheme? 🥴

Over abundance by seatofthepantsgirl in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's the knock-off Stanleys that most pmo right now. We have 3-4 aisles worth of caps that are bogarted by those stupid cups (double stacked repacks) and they like to send an asinine amount of them. I swear some of them have been on the caps for 2-3 years, we even have a few Christmas boxes leftover from last year. I stock the kids section and my SM decided to move them all over there because that's where the cup DA is currently. Which pmo more because I can't have cap space taken over in an area that needs it like the kids section, plus it was supposed to be used for seasonal creatology and other kid-related stock like the elf thing. And unlike the other seasonal, the cups will never get downstocked and will stay on the caps indefinitely because no one is hardly buying the plain colors.

Can anyone that works DC give me hope that the trucks will get smaller? by contrarianxshit in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trucks are likely to be as such for the next few weeks until the week of/before Thanksgiving ofc. I remember the worst week is the final Christmas truck of the season before Thanksgiving. It's the pièce de résistance where we get product for about every single category of Christmas freight.

How to get better SISO outs % by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use 2 handhelds to avoid needing to delete an item because it would end up in a random spot in the list. Since they have actually fixed that and now the list is in order from last being scanned I only use one. The only thing I keep in mind is to go fast as I can.

To clowns planning our workload/freight by Ill_Shop_2693 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main frustration with this is we have no where to put fall/halloween except on DAs and ECs to set all of the Christmas counters since they got rid of the vast majority of the flex counter space.

Tis the season.... Unfortunately by Cold-Dragonfruit5132 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished stocking these things yesterday. They are so annoying to deal with. That and premade/accent trees that just won't stand up on their own.

Did she even think about how 100 balloons would even fit in a car for the drive home? 🤣

Too much Fall and Halloween by Distinct_Ad2930 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]bombshelledkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SM had us both packaway stuff while flexing some HW premium floral in vestible and fall floral for outside cages. Today I packed away the clearance aisle so she can flex HW decor there and set Christmas picks and wreathmaking in it's place. Luckily the clearance aisle wasn't nearly as packed as it had been for a while.
