Michaels

all of the stuff is great and everything but I’m highly dissappointed how the employees were being rude. I forgot that they closed early on Sunday’s, that’s my fault but if you’re closing, you can kindly tell me to get what I need so I can purchasing got rather than yelling it at me wtf

They have good stuff at great prices. They seem understaffed though so finding someone to help you find something is a bit of an ordeal sometimes.

I love Michael’s overall as a chain. But I definitely prefer the Bel Air location to this one. It’s kinda messy and unorganized. Lots of young, inattentive staff as well. I mean, I love the products they offer. It’s like crafter heaven. And their prices are great. But again, this particular location could use some reorganization and new staff :)

I do not frequent Michaels. The store was messy, but it seems like most of the staff are teenagers that could give two craps about the place. The check out lady was exceedingly nice however, and brightened my day a little. It’s a chain store, the big variable here is the staff and they don’t clean up and the shelves aren’t stocked.

Eh…
Let me just start by saying that I love Michaels as a store. You can find pretty much everything to suit your crafting needs (except their fabric selection is usually lacking) and there’s always some sort of sale going on. However, the two stars are directed at the set up of this particular location.
Like Jess I. says in her review, this Michaels is extremely disorganized. From my experience, I’ve seen most locations are usually organized into 6 major sections, fine arts (canvases, paints), framing, general crafts (beads, hot glue, knitting, feathers, etc.), holiday/​wedding, scrapbooking, and floral. Most giant chains do this so that patrons can navigate the store easily, no matter what location they are visiting. However, this place didn’t quite adhere to that philosophy. Perhaps it’s because it’s holiday season and they have a lot of extra merchandise in the store, but aisles were barely wide enough for a cart and there were too many little mini displays of random craft projects sprinkled throughout the store and I saw many shoppers struggling to maneuver through the store because of this.
It also seems to be understaffed, something I realized when I couldn’t find anyone to help me find what I’d come to buy (a problem I probably wouldn’t have had if the store were better organized). And when it came time for me to check out, I stumbled towards the front of the store to see one cashier and a line of eight people.
At the end of the day, I got what I needed but it took way too much effort and time.
