I went to Michael's yesterday and I needed some help with cake decorating and I could not for anything get an employee to asist me. There was just no one around anywhere . I walked back and forth through three or four aisles of baking stuff and I just stood there ,lost, and clueless. A few employees walked around me but never stopped to ask if I needed assistance. This bugs me because I worked for Michael's for over four years and I would never ignore a customer or walk around aimlessly. When I got to the register, there was some sort of price decrepincy and it took three people to figure out what the problem was . After 10 mins în line, I was finally checked out.

Read more4 stars because I feel it is one of their smaller stores that I've been to but other than that, the staff is knowledgeable, always greet you with a smile and very helpful. They make you feel welcomed and if you ask about something and they don't know the answer they will go above and beyond to ask for assistance or find out the answer themselves by any means necessary. You never feel brushed off or placated ever. Absolutely recommend this store on any day of the week. They will make sure you don't leave disappointed. I can't sing their praises enough from all my experiences with them. Thank you all for all y'all...
