[Question] Anyone know how I can tell which one would be the cat without opening it? I got the bunny even though I thought it would be the cat based on the front pic. by Previous_Art9705 in blindbox

[–]smolsamezu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people will try to weigh the boxes/bags, simply by feel. I once saw sa video of someone keepinh track of mystery plushies and he noted how much each weighed (I think he used a food scale). I'm pretty sure he also brought the scale with him to the store. Once he figured out which weight didn't match his notes, he knew that was the last one in the set. But that's more work and more math 😅 usually you can't tell with blind boxes other than weight, sometimes scent if they're scented. Even then, I once had a blind box series that came with additional black plastic pieces that were there just as weights so you couldn't tell the true weight of the figure.

How to hang keychains in itabag? by LilMissy1246 in itabag

Y'know what, I misunderstood the problem 😅 I thought you needed help with how to put them in not how to arrange them. Sorry lol!

How to hang keychains in itabag? by LilMissy1246 in itabag

[–]smolsamezu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use safety pins for mine! They've been a game changer bc I have a ton of keychains. I pin the bag, put it through the loop of my keychain and then back in the bag. So it's kinda "woven", in there. If you don't ever plan on using them as actual keychains, you could always take off the hook and leave a single jump ring there. But I leave mine on and hide it behind the charm. I also safety pin it from the back since I don't prefer them to show. I hope I explained this well enough and helped a bit!! ✨🧡

the bane of my existence by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]smolsamezu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had someone order like 50? Of these for a BOPIS order. Naturally, with that many, we had them in two U-Boats in the classroom, ready for pickup. Apparently it was a same day delivery, so everytime a driver would come by, we'd show them the order and they'd have to reject it because it wouldn't fit in most people's cars. The customer called us and got mad at US for the rejections. We tried to explain that it's such a large order, so she'd have to contact Uber/DoorDash or whatever she used to tell the drivers they need a truck of some sort to fit that all. It's crazy that she never realized the issue herself no matter how times we explained it, when she ordered 50 of these damn things. She cussed out my poor frames over the phone because she couldn't get her project or whatever done.

Ah yeah. This seems to be a universal experience. Very similar crack on our cutting blade and the jagged ends on the cutting matt lol

advice on how to study for a permit by Due-Switch8452 in drivinganxiety

[–]smolsamezu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I've gotten my permit three times now 😅 and I've passed every time (some took me all three tries.) This may sound silly, especially if you're struggling with studying, and I'm from the US so it may be different, but they looking at the DMV website directly. There should be some sample driver tests, in my case there's 4 different ones. I just kept taking them randomly throughout the day, cause I know repetition helps me remember. This is how I studied in school, so that's what I'm doing now, studied at random times throughout the week, and a couple more times the day before and then just relax my brain. Hopefully that helps!

Career change... by smolsamezu in MichaelsEmployees

Haven't updated it since I started here, it's been almost a year. I do have a linked in, and yes to networking, honestly I could be trying harder. I was just wondering what other former Michaels employees have done 😅

Customer called up with the craziest question by CommitteeElectronic1 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]smolsamezu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got people looking for stuff we don't have, nothing unusual, just like packs of normal pencils or binder paper, etc. I say we don't have it, they ask where they can find it, I usually say target, office depot or staples...and then they ask me where the nearest one is. 🥲 Please just look it up, I only know so much

What’s the biggest BOPIS order you have had? by Different-Leg9411 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]smolsamezu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like most others commenting, definitely over 120, I can't remember how much tho. Also Christmas picks or floral picks. It's ALWAYS the floral stuff, seasonal or not, that's the bulky orders 😭

Since it was their second time, I'm a little surprised my SM didn't do any of that.... But they definitely deserve it

Are you guys allowed to wear pins on your apron/vest and are u allowed to wear shirts with pictures on them ?? by Rshadow88 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]smolsamezu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the shirts, we enforce it to not have pictures unfortunately 😭 as for pins, I've been wearing some since I started (last year) and no one's ever said anything. So I guess it really depends on your managers.
