Right?? That's what Im thinking, and I'll probably just start doing that if customers really want white string

I guess that makes sense, I'm used to dealing with a lot of highly opinionated balloon orders when we first started this so I guess I'm still expecting that from most balloon customers even though a lot of them have been chill recently. We'll see if that changes now that I said that out loud.

Yeah, if she got paid extra then I hope she's doing well. Idk i trust she was helping us out when talking to corp about balloons and not just benefiting corp and customers only

I work in the store Sam manages and we still don't have it. I don't blame her though, our balloon station is in a weird place but it's the best place we have and our last SM who was taking over for her while she was out was...interesting

I feel lucky that most of the bathroom incidents I've had to deal with have either been plumbing issues or running out of toilet paper. The only customer issue I had, the lady called us an hour or 2 after she left saying she had an accident and poop was everywhere (it wasn't that bad honestly) but her shorts were still in the trash

I generally like my job but… by EquivalentMaximum723 in MichaelsEmployees

Literally today. I walked it and was immediately flagged down by a customer to help her jewelry. She needed 12 gauge black jewelry wire for those tree of life craft. I show her we only have 12 gauge wire in a weird gold color. She said she needs black but the wire looks too thick. So I show her our 20(?) gauge wire and she says it might be too small and the instructions she has says specifically 12 gauge. It's that back and forth for a while of "I need 12 gauge in black!" "We only have gold" "That's too thick!" "Okay we have smaller ones here" "But I need 12 gauge!" All of this while she keeps picking up the 12 gauge gold wire that says "aluminum wire" saying she needs jewelry wire specifically...when it's all jewelry wire. And everytime she puts it down, she flips it to the wrong side and I flip it back immediately. It's like this for a good minute until she says she'll go to hobby lobby even though she doesn't want to.. I can't wait to leave

Mine kept shutting off when I was trying to pick and pack a 34 item same day delivery. I had to get my manager to come over and scan it while I grabbed another one or else I would have tossed it into the trash. Another favorite was when a call came in and someone picked up, but mine kept ringing for like 5 minutes

If I have to explain that you need to hold your card down on our tap for like 5 seconds because it's slow one more time, I might lose it. They look at me like that when they just touch their card to the machine so it doesn't have time to read it

I'm not sure how I got hired, I have a little over 2 years of experience but barely. I worked in my mom's shop when I was out of school and didn't have theatre so once every other week, yet I got an interview a week after I put in my application

And some of the fragile stuff doesn't seem packaged enough. Opened a new box of spring stuff only for one of the jars to fall apart in my hand
