| - This Michael's is in the dying strip off Power and Hampton, where K-Mart is all boarded up. I took my mother here at her request. That being said, we needed to park in handicapped parking, to avoid navigation of curb step-ups and a far walk. We found that the marked parking spots were quite far from the store entrance. If you are in this situation, drop your party curbside, then park.
There are no carts outside, nor was there any product, as one may be accustomed to with the chain. The store was like a ghost town. Except for the line at the register, that is. There was one person open, and a line 6 or 7 deep. Speaking of staff, there wasn't anyone that I could see, and a few little old ladies were shoplifting them blind. Until momsgave the evil eye. Then they stopped. Even strangers don't want that eye from my mom. Who knows what they did when we walked away though. No loss prevention. Which is a "No duh" for me after that huge security breach with customer payment info stolen from the POS machines.
The shelves were sparse. The seasonal items were scattered everywhere. After getting a door decoration for Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's, mom was looking for Easter. There was a very small section, which held only baskets and a weird rabbit butt decoration (I have no other way to describe it!). We later found that Easter was scattered in other areas of the store, making it more difficult to make selections.
Mom is a rewards member. The way they do this here is SO antiquated. There is a small laminated card reminiscent of Blockbuster card days of yore. Unless you are already planning for your demise, and avoiding upgrades of any sort, there is no excuse for a store to be so out of touch. I mean, do you even Pinterest? Wake up and smell the eucalyptus branches and essential oils, my friends.
