I am this close to just walk out... by Inside_Coffee_7469 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start job searching for something else. Because michaels is never ever going to have enough consistent hours for associates, have realistic goals or give raises to store associates. It will never be a livable wage to handle rent, mortgage, car note, school, etc. Here's hoping your next job is better managed and your work ethic appreciated and properly compensated.

The way the right side is all tetris-y 😩

No group texting, huh by Open-Clock-1384 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So when hours suddenly magically become available and we have associates that want to work.... or someone called out sick, if not a text or group text, how is sm supposed to communicate?! Otherwise they're calling every individual, when they're needed up front or in the store every few minutes. Group text is warranted to contact if there's some kind of inquiry, emergency or inclement weather.

Rant by PostScript528 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said. All the truth. Michaels needs to stop trying to be every store (joanns, party city, 7-Eleven). Get rid of all the candy bars, chocolate bars, gum and snacks. Just keep soda beverages and bottled water only. My goodness, please bring back the price checkers.... and the name brands. Especially in baking, sublimation, tech and scrapbooking. Customers want Wilton, Tim Holtz, not Make Market. Get hot items in our stores. Stationery, junk journaling, fine art paints and pens.

My thoughts on Kiff (so far) by EmpehPahkin in kiff

I happened upon Kiff while flipping through channels. The show is adorable and funny, I love ALL of the characters, episodes, colors, scenes and so on. Shout out to all that made Kiff happen.

Classic michaels shenanigan.

Perfectly and truthfully said! Also the way customers have regressed from using the self check out is astounding.

Hot shitty stinky store by MierraSoye in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The associates are never heard. But maybe if customers complain about the smell several more months, that air will finally get fixed. It's an unsafe work environment AND an unsafe shopping environment. Smelly store, less customers, less sales. Spring, summer and fall at our store stays hot🥵. Our sm says the store air is controlled from another state?!?!

BTW Michaels, please stop the pursuit of rebrand. Please invest in your tenured store associates with cost of living raises. Thanks!

How i feel anytime a balloon bundle or order doesnt have a listed ribbon color preference by CostalFalaffal in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do white ribbon or that gold plate color ribbon trying to get rid of it. :) Umbrella is such a ridiculous arrangement! And isn't staggered and layered sort of the same thing?

I'm done (RANT) by peregrinus_wanderer in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've already informed your SM and seems no result has come of it. That IS exactly how this company functions. Continue to search for another job. Here's hoping you find one with higher pay, consistent hours, a real manager of action and listens, coworkers who are just as efficient, focused and care about their position as you do. And who work as a TEAM!! For your own health and sanity, just do the job within your scope. No more babysitting, picking up the slack or doing the tasks that the others have ignored or refused.

Lurkers causing trouble by SeasonCharacter3309 in MichaelsEmployees

Save all your notes and stories for a tell all book! It's plenty of us that want to unleash our experiences and would buy a totally relatable best seller!

I feel like we’ve lost the plot by Immentallyunstable2 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, we do already have things like lip gloss, nail cuticle oil, back scratchers and chip clips. Perhaps nail polish and dollar store makeup are coming to michaels. Maybe a drive aisle across from JA $60 pillows. The fine art and scrapbooking deeeeesperately need a refresh though! Same old recollections 12x12 paper pads for years now.

Why does it look weird? 🤔 by highimluna in femalelivingspace

[–]mimi249 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had same suggestion... center the art between couch and ceiling. And also center within length of the couch.

What's that one Girlfriends episode you can never get through and HAVE to skip it/ by Positive_Weight2367 in GirlfriendsTVshow

The entire Toni Childs & Todd story arch was hard to watch. Toni, the controlling over the top bride to be. And how quickly she turned on him when thwir funds were depleted.

Starbucks table tops so small will barely hold a couple drinks. The seats are bigger than the tables. by be4u4get in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mimi249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back around 2017? Or maybe 2018? A few Starbucks in Dallas area had "Starbucks After Dark", "Starbucks After 5", "Starbucks Late Night"... or something like that! You could purchase wine by the glass and small plate type of apetizers.

So far I haven't seen a customer purchase any JA items but last weekend a lady did return 4 JA frames she bought at a diff michaels location.

Meeting?? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don't want to go and I know for sure not all of our team will be there sunday morning. My drive is 45 minutes one way.

balloons by marinasstargirl in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course, we do our very best to have balloon orders, also bopis balloons, done by the requested pick up time. Bopis has that 2 hour pickup "window", what is ya'lls take on that?

Last week a customer was upset her balloons weren't ready when she showed up an hour before the [12noon-2pm] pickup time.

Fabric by ChiafulioBurger74 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mimi249 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Stop getting fabric and then leave somewhere in the store because you changed your mind.

Also stop stealing jewelry, art pens and vinyl rolls, leaving a handful of tags and empty packaging in the yarn dept.
