Michaels — Local services in Amherst

Firstly I have to say that Michael is not at this location. I'm not sure where he is, but he certainly is not in this store (I looked) and I will begin going down the list of other "Michael's" locations once the axle on my van is fixed. There are however a multitude of things to entertain and keep you busy here. I found a shelf covered in plastic dinosaurs and I began making them jewelry from the bead isle. The tall slender man with the glasses kept asking "sir, are you going to be buying that?" But he doesn't seem to understand personal freedoms and liberties. The artificial flowers are also great, and if you don't like the colors offered on them? Well it just so happens they have entire shelves of paint. The odd thing with them is that they have some sort of scaling system in which the items are numbered in categories, such as "artist" and "professional", seemingly not understanding that someone may be a "professional artist", but that's besides the point. Anyway, when I was done painting I went to the checkout and bought a Twix (professional level candy) and gave half of it to the tall guy as a little tip for having to recollect the beads in the dino-isle.

Look at the ridiculous photo I'm attaching to this and you can see that they cover it up what was in every aisle with their sale sign. In the store always is out of something I need something essential whenever I go here I never get exactly...

I got a confirmation that my order was ready for pick up. The next day, while driving to the store, a second email was sent telling me they didn't have all my shirts. Since I was driving I did not see said email. The shirts were for my granddaughter's volleyball tournament. I finished by driving to another Michael's, staying up til midnight and getting up at 6am to deliver them to her before school since they were for a noon event at the school. Now I am not seeing a correct refund and will have to...
