Michaels

This is the Michael’s located closest to me. They have a good scrapbooking section, a few aisles of yarn (though I don’t knit), one for baking, one for drawing paper, and a few for frames and wall hangings. Almost no needle felting projects. It might be because several aisles are currently dedicated to Christmas decorations, but I don’t see as many enticing things in this store as I do in other ones. It’s not as big as the one on 22.
This is one of those stores that has lots of coupons. There is usually a 40% off or 50% off one regular price item coupon that you can pull up online (they can scan them off your phone). Another good one is 25% off entire purchase including sale items. They also take Hobby Lobby, AC Moore, and other competitors’ coupons.

Terrible customer service, rude and disorganized employees. Definitely not coming back to this place.

Just had a terrible experience here. Came to pick up 4 pieces which I had framed. Cost me close to $ 800 and I wish that was an exaggeration. When I picked them up– two pieces were supposed to have the same frame and they didn’t. I’m not upset that they aren’t fixing it bc they are fixing it. I’m upset at the nasty woman who had the worst attitude when I wanted to get it fixed. I SWEAR I was totally calm and rational and she just kept trying to argue with me and was unbelievably defensive. It was completely unnecessary, came out of nowhere, and actually made me upset how angry she was with me. I will never set foot in this store again.

Michael’s is usually one of my first stops for arts & crafts supplies. I love that Michael’s has coupons every week and my family friends get me gift cards since I’m here so much. I have never had a problem with the staff — if anything, I just wish there were a few more of them so if I’m looking for something specific (which I usually am…) I can ask someone. When I do find a person, they usually have tried the products before, which is great because I can do less guessing. This location is also well lit, spacious, well stocked, and clean. There is usually plenty of parking, although the ingress/​egress can be a little tedious.
I tend to spend a lot of time in the scrapbooking section, beading, floral, ribbon, and the fun aisle of cheap $ 1 goodies. I usually walk in with something specific in mind — a particular shade of red metallic paint, or the perfect royal blue lightweight cardstock, or 12 inch covered floral wire stems. Typically I can find something close to what I want and have walked out successful. I am incapable of walking in and out in under an hour — I really enjoy exploring here. The kid friendly sections here are also really good and they should be able to come up with a variety of rainy day projects.

I hate hate hate hate HATE this store and their rude staff. Last time I went to buy some yarn, the woman at the cash register kept putting the just-​rung-​up balls of yarn into the same pile as the not-​yet-​rung-​up. When I tried to separate the two (so I wouldn’t get charged twice), she accused me of shoplifting, insisted that I empty my bags and pockets, and threatened to call security (does michael’s even HAVE security?). Ugh.
