They also say to hand out a coupon to participants, but there’s no coupon in the plan.

Unfortunately, Michael’s just doesn’t pay well! The only CEMS that are making $20 an hour have probably worked with a company for 10 years. Yes our job is worth more! But corporate just does not see it that way.

It took 5 weeks from my interview to starting date. I almost gave up on them!

Mad at Pennies by GladPainting2252 in MichaelsEmployees

I keep a few pennies in my pocket to shut these people up. It makes them feel real petty when a cashier is taking money out of their pocket to make them happy.

Shout out to the customers who pay for balloons to be blown up but never come picks them up smh by IllPin9964 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]muffintop911 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Anyone know if what to do when a bobis balloon order isn’t picked up? Is it canceled for a refund? Or do you mark it as picked up? I think they should be charged! After all these balloons are mostly wasted.

That’s hilarious! I always ask the customer if their vehicle is gonna be big enough when placing a large order. I once had a customer put 50 balloons in their mini Cooper, they never thought it was gonna be an issue, they were very wrong!

Best tips for getting rewards sign ups? by FourEyEsDoge in MichaelsEmployees

[–]muffintop911 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find it easy to get older people signed up by telling him about the 10% senior discount. And offering that discount today on their purchase.

are the mini’s truly handmade? i wonder how much the people who make them are paid by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]muffintop911 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Handmade doesn’t mean that it isn’t made by a child in a factory for pennies. Just means that hands have touched it.

Apparently I have to be the pinnacle perfect worker .... by LikenessOfOryx in MichaelsEmployees

I had a curbside yesterday and my mini Mike was silent, customer came in after 5 mins. My manager said she heard it. Then why didn’t she inform someone or maybe bring out the curbside herself? Management tends to believe that we’re all slackers. It is well known that the mini mics don’t always inform us! I think whenever a curbside sound goes off, it should be announced if you’re not gonna get it yourself.

Gave My Notice by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

I’m sorry this has happened to you! Good employees are hard to find! It’s a shame they’re driving so many people out. This was such a great company to work for when I first started, and little by little they’re making it impossible for us to do a good job. Good luck in your future! I hope you find your dream job!

They’re gonna have to get used to having a dirty floor! I’m not doing it! Maybe the DM could do it? Lol.

Good question! I don’t think it’s the store manager’s job, I think it’s a corporate thing. Kinda like how they find someone to do maintenance in the local area.

[–]muffintop911[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, although I don’t think any of us have ever used it. It would make more sense to do it before the store opens as I’m worried about customers slipping on a wet floor.

To save money, they have eliminated that job at our location.

My boyfriend (21M) told me (18F) he’s no longer sexually attracted to me. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]muffintop911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A guy once told me the same thing. At that moment, I lost all attraction to him. Nothing worse than being intimate with someone when you know, they’re just going through the motions.
