They were completely out of all gel pens and had an extremely low stock on the ones that were in stock? This shouldn't happen when a product gets low in supply it should be ordered before running out completely and this is why you do inventory! To make sure the customer doesn't have to be inconvenienced by the product they need or want to buy, being out of stock! This is common sense and the most basic of all business practices the law of supply and demand must also consider the law of must have product in order to sell product to customer thus inventory is done to get an exact number of how many items are on hand to sell and how many more need to be ordered so we don't run out!! Simple and easy so why is it that there are never any different gel pens ordered and why are you always out of them? It's a shame that such a large and predominant company such as Michael's would have such a poor and really sad amount of inventory of an item that is so easily and usually well stocked and with a very large number of choices it seems like there should be a very large variety of type of pen to ink colors and...
Read moreHonestly I only shop for art supplies here because I get the best service and prices. The shop in Trinity FL is my go to for everything. I receive rewards for money I spend there and that adds up to 5, 10 or 20 bucks in rewards cash. Get the app and it tracks your purchases and the cash shows up in the app within 72 hours. Then there is the buy one get two free on canvases and much, much more. I am a professional artist and I do purchase a lot online but this shop is somewhere I go almost 3 times a week. I no longer shop at Hobby lobby bc they no longer have rewards or coupons. ( Not to mention their horrible politics. Yikes! Every time I go to Hobby lobby I feel like there are hoards of employees stocking the shelves and I am in their way! I actually got glared at by an employee for asking them to please move so I could reach the paint I wanted to purchase. I left the store and plan to never shop there again. Let me be clear. I spend at least 500 to 1,000 a month on art supplies so...too bad Hobby lobby I am spending all that...
Read moreThis Michael's is a welcome addition to the area. It just seems to have some growing pains at the moment. The feature areas up front weren't well stocked. The main problem is that the entire yarn area was completely obstructed with unattended boxes and pallets. I nearly got hurt trying to reach an item for another customer. Meanwhile, employees just seemed happy go lucky and joked about the situation. Another shopper and I couldn't locate whether the store carried Vanna's choice yarn or not. Another woman shopping with her older mother kept getting stuck or blocked in and had difficulty turning around with her walker. I have a larger Christmas project in mind but walked away empty handed twice from this store. For crafters, walking away empty handed from a craft store is nearly blasphemy. Overall, they have a great array of supplies and kids could create their hearts out. However, for those of us who tried to shop the entire back quarter of the store, it...
