Michaels

MEH.
Went here for two simple items and the store was a ghost town making our trip much faster. We found our items and headed to the checkout line. The checkout lady was pretty unpleasant. Didn’t respond when you asked her anything. Ridic. Empty store was nice, but the one employee we run into was just rude. I’ll probably go somewhere else next time.

This somewhat new location is huge! Great selections and sale items. You can go to Michaels website for coupons, which is pretty awesome! Sometimes they are short with staff, but food service. They also have arts and crafts room for classes which is pretty cool.

I went to buy these pens that were locked up so I asked one of the employees to help me with unlocking the cabinet. When I asked if I could make sure that it is the accurate size I wanted in terms of how fine it was, she stated that she cannot open it because it will dry out. She was incredibly rude and I expressed that I was going to buy it but I need the correct size so she eventually allowed me to look at it as she held it. This staff was very offensive and inappropriate, and lacks the proper customer service required. She made it appear as if I was attempting to steal the pens, and was very blatant about it. She was disrespectful and made it seem as if I was a bother to her when I asked for her help. All of the other Michaels I have gone to have been very helpful and courteous except for this one, which I will never be going to again.

Michaels almost always has what I’m looking for, but I’ve found that it’s usually for a price higher than I’m willing to pay. This time they were having a huge sale (Black Friday), and I was able to find the decorations I needed to make my own wreath for just a few bucks.

Either they changed their hours and didn’t tell Unilocal or they like to close down early. It’s 9:17 and they are closed. Awesome

Some of the workers here are great & friendly! I had a lady help me look for something even when I didn’t go up to her to ask for help. Other times, you’re pacing back and forth between 100 aisles looking for a single employee and are left kind of helpless.
Don’t purchase anything here without finding a mobile coupon first. There’s almost always an online coupon you can use for discounts. I was able to buy a bunch of cute stuff here for a tea party I threw for a friend. I also came here to make a flower crown for a Dia de los Muertos themed event I went to. The silk flowers are expensive but are much prettier than the cheaper ones you’ll find at places like the Dollar Store. They’re having a huge sale this weekend so you bet my butt will be present.

Slim selection of Ribbon and not enough sewing supplies… I wish this store was bigger like hobby lobby:

Wow, I was really insulted on a recent visit. I was looking for a certain type of hook for hanging pictures from a picture rail. The woman in the picture area, after ignoring and avoiding me for several minutes, finally said «do you just have a quick question?» as if anything beyond a quick question would just be too much for her to handle despite that there were only like three other customers in the entire store.
Well it was a very simple question and anybody with any knowledge of picture framing and hanging would have known, but she apparently had no clue what I was talking about. Aisles and aisles of picture frames and yet the staff do not know what a picture rail is. Also, how can such a huge big-​box arts/​crafts/​framing store not have a complete assortment of picture hanging accoutrements? They have one tiny rack with the cheap hangers I would never trust with nicer pieces.
I felt very unwelcome in this store, and judging by the fact there were only three other customers in there, I guess I’m not alone!

I recently moved to Denver and my first time in this store was on Saturday. I was there right when they opened, and they were helpful as I walked in (one of the items I was looking for was outside) but once I got inside I could not find a soul to help me. The 3 – 4 employees who I had seen at the door all vanished. I didn’t know where anything was so I wandered around for quite some time trying to find all the things on my list (and let’s be real, buying things I didn’t need too). :)
I have never been in a Michael’s that didn’t help you, but I was pretty disappointed. I FINALLY found someone who was rushing by and when I stopped to ask her where a specific item was she seemed upset by the fact that I stopped her. One of the reasons I was having a hard time was because some of the labels on the store (like on the wall, so you can easily see where things are) were wrong. For example, there’s a big sign for glue, but I got there and there was no glue. The glue was in a different section, and on top of that the glue guns were not with the rest of the glue (they were in the floral section, in case you’re wondering). It was just hard to navigate and find what you wanted.
Then when I went to check out I was the third person in line, and the person who was checking out was having some sort of a problem that the clerk was trying to take care of. I thought that she’d call for help with the growing line (because they usually do at other stores) but she didn’t. She then also took a while to help check out the other guests, just generally seemed to be taking her time.
I love Michael’s stores and will definitely go back, it was just my first time in there and I was a little put off by my experience.

Got exactly the help I needed even though the staff seems a little thin. Clean store too.

The store is always clean and organized,. staff are friendly and helpful. You can find great bargains here. It is a great place for school projects and pinterest projects. The check out process is smooth and quick. The cashiers will inform you if there are current coupons that can be applied to your purchase.

So I got it into my head a few weeks back that I was going to take up crocheting again and make a few scarves for Christmas gifts this year. I haven’t been to a Michael’s in ages, but figured I’d give it a go and shake things up from my usual crafty stores.
Cue the hobby and crafty angels chorus here!
This store is laid out beautifully and has so many lovely decorations and accent pieces that I could spend all of my money here. Easily. But I came in for yarn and crochet hooks, so I beelined past all of the tempting winter and holiday decorations and found the small, but excellent yarn selection. Not surprisingly, there were many pattern books for cool scarves and hats. Since I only know two stitches at the moment, I passed on the books, but I’m thinking I need to expand my abilities, so I’ll have to return for a few and freshen up my skillz.
I loved this store. It was bright, clean, and well-​organized. And the staff were super friendly and helpful! Forget Hobby Lobby, get yourselves over to Michael’s for your crafty needs!

Good luck finding anyone to help you… Also, for some reason, they never have what I need.
