This Michaels is my friendly neighbourhood store. Staff are definitely friendly. I can't say that all customers are.
Sometime last year, I drove to this location and backed into a parking spot. There are plenty of parking spaces. It wasn't a stressful evening. However, an impatient woman was not thrilled that I spent an extra two seconds to back into a spot. I am a decent backer-upper when it comes to parking. She honked at me. She managed to swing into a parking spot rapidly after I got out of her way and run into the store. Talk about dashing for craft supplies.
Last week, I visited this store. I got out of my car and closed the door. In doing so, my work photo ID card attached to my pant pocket pulley (say that fast!) got caught. I had to unlock my car and open the door. Meanwhile, I was taking up some seconds for the gentleman parked next to me to get into his car.
He did see me get my work badge untangled. I apologized. He smiled and said that it was all good. That made my day for being a klutz.
I was there to check out patches. I was wearing a pair of corduroy pants that I love. I managed to tear the area just above my left knee. I did some investigation on how to salvage my pair of pants and browsed around the store.
I have often come here for sewing and calligraphy supplies, fabric dye, as well as stickers for when I went on a cruise and had to decorate my cabin door for a contest. Ah, good memories.
I like this store. I am hoping that friendlier shoppers continue coming here.
