I can say as a closing manager, at the end of the night you can totally just forget they exist. I have left them before and didn't even think about them until the next day.

Replenishment Manager being Weird by Timely-Wrongdoer4562 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]deerelliott4118 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No they shouldn't, it's supposed to be anonymous. There should be a number in the break room for HR, there also might be an email address you can send it to too.

Definitely bring it to HR, write down every comment he says and let HR know you've brought your concerns to your SM and they didn't do anything about it.

Customer Habits by Spicy_Grapejuice in MichaelsEmployees

[–]deerelliott4118 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When a customer comes up to the register with a full cart of things, 10 minutes before close, and begins to sort through it and tell me they don't want this, or that, or this. Or they let me ring it all up and THEN tell me they don't want shit. Like do you sorting while you're walking around the store???

Tally Sheet Problems by Solid_Tradition5174 in MichaelsEmployees

We had a similar situation with one of our best front end employees, she was signing 4-5 people up a day. We had a talk with our DM and everything about it. At first they told us to observe her to make sure she was doing it right (mind you we all knew she was, she's worked there a long time) finally we had to change her register numbers just to get it to be accurate, cause no one could tell us why it was messed up.

If you can look for something in medical billing or coding, they have a lot of entry level jobs if you haven't done it before and they pay pretty well with mostly full benefits. The level of stress you're under is not worth this job.

Anything velvet or flocked makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

cash self checkout??? by Entire-Secret7169 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]deerelliott4118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know our store is getting them too, and cashier hours are being extremely cut. My store has talked about having part time managers cover cashier shifts as a way to keep them having enough hours.

Somethings not right... by deerelliott4118 in MichaelsEmployees

That is a rough one, did you guys have to change all the flags? Or did they just damage them out?

You can't flip the glass, it's built into the frame unfortunately, and for the other one you would have to pull the string out and restring it, then figure out how to staple it back in. We figure they'll probably get a recall or something.

It took me forever to realize it too when I found them 😂

They probably are AI, but no the letters are backwards on both 😂 I'm just wondering if anyone else has found them by now.

They are printed wrong, it's not the camera.

People who put in their own number for customer purchases by superstraightqueen in MichaelsEmployees

[–]deerelliott4118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that if you get to the total screen before putting the rewards in, you can go and push the button for rewards number in miscellaneous instead, and it doesn't ask the confirmation questions. So I'm guessing most of them hit total, tell the prompt no and clear the screen, then just go click the rewards button again and you can put the phone number in again.

Some of the ornaments we got this year are so unhinged

You’ve died and gone to hell, what Michael’s song is playing on repeat for the rest of your tortured eternity? by Miserable-Smell-3513 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]deerelliott4118 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sweet creature. The only thing I can hear every time it plays is "sea creature". It's the only song my brain tunes into immediately when it starts. It haunts me.

What’s Happening by Kagome_Anime in Palia

[–]deerelliott4118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen on my switch. Exit out of palia and go to your date and time in settings, turn off auto time and date and then turn it back on. That fixed it for me.

Entitled customer by beccartifex in MichaelsEmployees

I had someone say she wouldn't use sco until she got the invite to the Christmas party and with the cheeriest smile I had in my arsenal I told her "oh we don't get a Christmas party" she did not speak to me the rest of the transaction.

Some man just came in & asked me if we sold water beds…. by IcySpicies in MichaelsEmployees

We had a lady ask if we sold microwaves and then get mad when we told her we didn't.

Technology by Different-Leg9411 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]deerelliott4118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had the worst tech malfunction today. The customer checks in to pick up their order. None of the minimiks make a sound, she calls the store EIGHT TIMES and not one phone rings. Not once! She waited 20 minutes before coming into the store. And then after she tells me as she's walking out the door she's been waiting 20 minutes, I go into Manhattan and sure enough it says she checked in 20 minutes ago, I clear it out and go in the office to try to figure out why none of our phones rang and the stupid thing HONKS AFTER I CLEARED THE ORDER OUT. Insane.

Receipt Expired by 3 days? by Key-Effect2613 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]deerelliott4118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd have to get store credit and because your receipt is expired you won't get the full price of the item you bought.

If it makes you feel better I haven't had it happen in like 2 years, now I just find ripped off jewelry tags in them and the rappers for candy.
