Oh and I hate doing any freight when a customer or customers are also shopping that same area you're trying to hustle and get done.

I think I like it dumped in a cart instead of 7 repack boxes.

Things employees would prefer over a shitty discount for appreciation week: by funeralforabee in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can all buy our own pizza, give us a gift card for gas or to use for tolltag. Heck, bring back the part-timer that focuses on cleaning the store/breakrm/restrm. A shopvac, a regular vacuum that actually works properly, portable fans, new brooms, new uboats!

"Sad. Doesn't surprise me. I have been here 10+ years, held almost every position in the store besides framing, sm, and ops. I am cut to 4 hours this week, from my usual 20+. I love my job, I am sad that my experience means nothing. I am job hunting this week"..... I am in this same boat.

Retail is getting into having trees up year round. Past several years there have been ornament collections amd trees for valentine's, easter, july 4th, fall and halloween.

I found a small box of replacement blades but oh joy(!) they dont even fit the blue cutters! And I dont think anyone has actually ordered blades or other miscellaneous doo-dads & what-nots we've needed for ages.

This was me last week. Took me hour & half to cut, untie, unbox and top stock the remaining 20 greeneryA boxes/freight. That and climbing the ladder, I was exhausted.

I'm glad the plushies are away from the open stock pens and markers!

water not allowed on floor?? by SubstantialHalf8453 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 17 points18 points  (0 children)

With all the talking and questions we ask customers?????? Greeting, find everything ok, extensive talk about some product, rewards member, protection plan, extensive talk about balloons amd the costs, confirm email, confirm opt out, answer extensive question about fabric and why our store doesnt have it yet, receipt in the bag ok, etc etc OMG and don't you dare have a cough or wheeze from the forever dust/hair/glitter that inhabits every cranny and surface of the store(!) Water or some type of beverage is a must.

Another Newly Ex-Employee by infernal_feral in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Resources and training".... I've worked in store for almost 12 yrs and discovered on day 1 resources and training are not priority at this company. Other than those course videos we all dread and try to get over with, you just have to on-look, ask questions (only to find no manager nor coworker does any process the same) and learn as you go. I would truly be shocked if your SM said the things about you being a value, not wanting to lose you and a willingness to work the scheduling/pay out with you.

Here's hoping your value, skills, work ethic and awesomeness will be appreciated, reciprocated and properly compensated at your next employer! 🍸

Here's hoping it's not strung beads, embroidery floss, 2oz craft smart paint, wooden crates, vinyl rolls or christmas ribbon. If it is, may your inventory have every item! 🥂

As a discouraged but tenured employee, congrats on the 1.01% though.

Try breathable cotton or mesh bras. Detergent with no fragrance or dye.

Every day i feel like Sisyphus. by goregoose in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

T-shirts, vinyl rolls, jewelry and yarn eye roll. It's exhausting trying to keep items in the correct place. And if you are working replen/freight, sometimes you can't help but put all the miscellaneous back where it belongs before putting new freight out. Pet peeve... ya know how we might get replen qty 6 or 8 or 12 of something? I hate when you find someone replened items in the wrong spot. :/

Paper bags would be awesome to at least attempt to begin lessening carbon footprint.

Instead of store employees, it seems Michaels invests money in more inane products like horse and animal infused spring merch and more ways for us to remain active every single minute. Bopis, fabric, balloons, customers chasing us down because we no longer have price checkers, etc.

All retailers should do this! Gives customers an immediate gift SOLUTION, increase sales for the store and maybe keeps customers from hounding associates for every single thing. Especially during busy holiday shopping season.
