Soooo anyone else still have a completely full nearly untouched JA FMA? We had to put the other collections on DAs because literally nothing has sold.

So out-of-touch Nick pushes a post that we signed someone new at Artistree! Wonder how much they’re getting as they preach they can’t raise our pay.

As someone who actually does love their job. The job you were sold, the one that sounds good on paper and SOPs but doesn’t translate…

Sound off.

Give me three things you love about Michaels.

1. Helping kind customers. I love when someone explains their project to me and when I can tell them “I’d never have thought of that” or “please come back and show me when you’re done” and I have had SEVERAL people do this!! I LOVE IT! I will literally drop everything I’m doing. And when I see people I know frequent the store I LOVE to say something to them! Thank you for coming back!

2. Brainstorming with customers. I once helped an older gentleman turn a Shepards hook into a shaded planter for Hummingbirds (he had a very sunny yard and a recently passed wife who always put feeders out) by suggesting he take a cemetery cone and melt a hole in it the size of the hook then place the cone right at the top with spray foam to hold the planter onto the hook. Then we filled the top half of the cemetery cone with wet foam to hold the floral he purchased. He came back a week later and had made a few for himself and friends!

3. FABRIC/YARN. I started at Michael’s because I love to craft. The patterns, suggestions, advice I’ve received just cutting fabric is insane, people really get chatty when they’re nice folks. I love it. I love to hear what people have to say. I understand we don’t talk enough about the AMAZING customers we have and maybe we can all find a few things we like?
