Michaels

It’s always a toss up if I’ll find something I need in here or walk out empty handed. Yesterday I had an ad for yarn on sale, which I found some really good stuff. Plus a coupon for 40% off a regular priced item. So my husband got a Star Wars shirt really cheap.
I don’t buy much from the store, typically stick to yarn. So my knowledge of the store isn’t spectacular. The selection doesn’t seem that great for how big the store is.
The staff is kind of in the middle on being good or bad. There were two employees working last night. A male and female. The guy almost ran into me with two rolling trash cans, acted like I was in his way as he was sweeping, and never asked if I needed any help.
The female was the cashier and she was super nice and helpful. She talked to me about the coupons and sales because I had asked if I could use my coupon on sale items, or if they were excluded. That’s where my husband ended up with his shirt because it was full price. She was very patient while he went back to find what he wanted, and wasn’t rude when other people got in line behind us. I appreciate how patient and knowledgable she was.
It’s a store I go to fairly often, mostly for sales and to see if they’ve got different colors of yarn I want in stock, or stock up during sales. Obviously, I’ll keep returning. It’s not a bad store by any near means. It can just be over priced and not have what you’re looking for. Always a gamble.

Three and a half stars for good product selection, mediocre quality and value. Although Michael’s has seemingly every crafty thing you could imagine under one huge roof, I routinely cannot find what I need — either because they don’t carry it or I just can’t find it. And Michael’s is one of «those stores» that has regular prices that are artificially high, so you might find the right thing, but if it’s not on sale and you don’t have a coupon, the price is simply too high. I often leave here empty handed for one of the above reasons.
Two stars for service. It’s always been bad. The store is understaffed so check-​out lines are super long. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just go home (or go to Walmart) because you won’t be able to find anyone to help you. Somehow, most of the people who work here manage to be nice despite the working conditions. Kudos to them.
If you’re here and don’t have a coupon for regular-​priced items, download the Michael’s or Retail Me Not app to find a 40% or 50% off coupon on your smartphone.

Lots of arts and crafts stuff, fake plants, cake decorating supplies, and good sales at the door. Watch for coupons too. Still, this place drives me nuts. They have the slowest check out in the entire world, every single time. I routinely wait 15 – 20 minutes in check-​out here, with too few cash registers open and all sort of insane women arguing with the cashiers over $ 0.03 discounts on their cardboard paint-​by-​number ‘jesus loves you’ door signs or whatever crap crazy people buy here.

This may be a girls dream, but a man’s nighmare. OK, it is a nice place, and has everything for the left brain thinker.

This place is a girls dream! I love going into Michaels to poke around for pretty stuff while my boyfriend follows me bored out of his mind. They have a large section of scrapbooking stuff which is one of my hobbies. also they carry stuff for people who paint, craft, bead, take pictures, etc. endless arts and crafts!
