Michaels — Local services in Charleston

Prices never ring up what they are advertised in weekly add for, and the cashiers dont care if you are over charged or not. Everytime I go in there I have to pull out my phone to prove to an uninterested teenage cashier what the price is suppose to be. In the evening that seems to be all that works there is teenage girls and they are unfriendly, and are not helpful in any way. Tomorrow I have to make another trip back there because the spring flowers that are suppose to be 50% off....were not. I seen that they were not ringing up right and I told her, she made up some flimsy excuse instead of checking for herself. I went out on the floor and showed where the signs were and showed where my flowers were to another worker and then both looked through my stems and greenery again. I was then told that all of my floral except for ONE was indeed on sale I told her fine I still wanted it. I checked my receipt after getting in my car and of course actually nothing was right but ONE . These young girls are so busy trying to throw their customers out of the store they dont care . They need to learn something about customer service and they need to know that when a price is in question to check that price right away and do not stand there and guess as to why it is ringing up at the price it is. I should not have to pull my phone out every single time I am there to prove what I already know. I am a serious crafter and spend serious money weekly in this store and everytime its the same thing I have to argue with them to get the right prices and I leave the store upset that I had to go through the whole ordeal at all. I will taking my refund and my business elsewhere it is not worth...

Okay...so some people collect tchotchkes (or chotski, bric-a-brac, dust catchers, etc) like "Precious Moments" figurines, Hot Wheels by Mattel, or Ty Beanie Babies, etc etc. Me? Well, apparently I've started collecting average, plain old... bowling balls. I currently have about 17-18...they seem to anonymously arrive on my doorstep (either that or they're related to bunnie rabbits).

Anyway, with all this in mind I decided to pop in at Michael's for some "bowling ball" craft supplies. As usual, the store is brimming with seasonal supplies & Spring is definitely in the air! Mounds & mounds of beautiful(!!) silk flowers, garlands, wreath bases & fully finished wreaths, supplies for those upcoming Spring weddings, wicker baskets, glass vases, metal & wood containers, & much MUCH more. The art supply dept has been expanded with all kinds of colored pencils & pens, charcoal & pastels, sketch books in various sizes, blank canvases from mini to huge, & supplies for all ages. New t-shirts for various projects in a rainbow of colors. Various supplies ranging from yarns & soft goods, to beading supplies, to wood crafting, paper & scrapbookng supplies, baking equipment & party supplies, & an entire section of supplies for popular kids' crafts. Like the saying goes "something for everyone & all ages".

Now, I just need to do some more online research & figure out just what I can do with a bowling ball (x18)...

My mother & I went shopping at Michael's, her for yarn & myself for art supplies. One lady, Kelly, was accommodating & helpful. The store was clean & organized. Once we reached checkout things took a minor turn. I had a 40% off a purchase coupon but did not know that I couldn't use it on a $9.99 set of Craftsmart brushes. I didnt really want to spend 30$ but due to my cashier being in a rush to get to the next customer I was hurried into taking all items. The only thing she could state was "you can't use that coupon with that item because it's our everyday low price". I was employed with Michael's in Ga for several years & worked in a couple of depts. The cashier was in a rush, I was not taking any more extra of her time than necessary, she was rude & definitely needs customer service guidance. Question: even though the paint brushes were a $9.99 Craftsmart item why can the coupons not be used on them. Other than that our shopping...
