Drowning. These employees are drowning. I've been coming to this location for years and it's…read morepathetic at this point. There will be customers needing assistants everywhere, broken items in the shelves, and the employees are stuck with a line pilling up. Eva was not only incredible but was doing everything they could. Management is a joke, whoever is suppose to be leading this store is failing. Hire more people, seeing only 3 employees is embarrassing for Michaels as a company. Michael's stores have started receiving more specific supplies that requires employees assistance. And there is none. There should be 5 employees at all times in a craft store that holds so many different unique categories. Disappointing.

I'll start this review with the fact that I enjoy shopping at Michaels. I'm a teacher and…read morefrequently find myself there getting supplies, I also love the teacher discount. Last week, I placed an online order here for items that were listed as in stock on the website and planned to pick them up the next day. Well, I woke up the next day to my order being cancelled, which sucks but it was ok, I thought about going to another location to get these items. But, on the website, it still said these products were available, so I took a chance and drove over to the Redwood Plaza location. When I arrived, I was able to quickly find these products and check out. Unfortunately, the price was different because I was using an online shopping code, but still I did indeed buy these in store after all. I'm leaving this review because as a long time shopper, I'm feeling confused about why this order was cancelled in the first place. I haven't ever used this feature before and it just feels icky that I was able to get the products in store and without the discount I had hoped for online.

It feels like most places have forgotten the lost art of "customer service", which to me, really just means showing deep care for your customers. Rose was absolutely AMAZING. She even danced around to their 90's playlist while setting me up with my own desk to cut photos until I got what I needed "just right". She didn't rush me or get frustrated when I asked for something 10 different ways. It was refreshing to feel like someone still really loved their work and loved helping people. Thank you Cheap Pete's! Not only is your service amazing, but the quality of everything I've done here has been outstanding. Super appreciate that people like this still exist.

Art and People Glass is essentially a water pipe store that also sells jewelry, BUT it is NOT your typical head shop. The store was light, bright and clean. The sales people were clear-eyed, smart and knowledgeable. A guy named Sam patiently walked me through their inventory and explained everything. I am embarrassed to say even though I am in my 70's there is a definite gap in my education. Even if you don't 'smoke' this place is definitely worth a visit just to look at the beautiful glass art.

i was stuck in traffic on the el camino in san mateo the other day i looked over and saw this shop…read morethat looked pretty new it had lights in the windows and i could see some bongs in the front. As i was looking in the guy behind the counter waved at me which seemed a little strange(i wasn't used to smoke shop employees being friendly) i didn't have anywhere to be so i hung a u turn and parked in front of the shop as i was getting out i saw a sign that said BUY ONE GET ONE FREE which i was used to seeing at burger king not a smoke shop!!. walking in to the shop was a completely different experience to what i was used to (like most people from san mateo I've grown up going to the cave which meant customer service was kind of wishful thinking and since they were pretty much the only game in town the prices were hella high) the guy behind the counter introduced himself as Sam and asked if it was my first time in there. I said it was and he proceeded to give me a tour of the shop from a variety of scientific bongs to colorful pipes and even some beautiful animal pipes(i couldn't tell they were pipes until he showed me) they have a great selection of concentrate pieces including a few things only they make. It blew me away that not only did they make everything in the shop but that it was all made locally!!! To make the shop even cooler they have hand carved wooden pipes hanging from the walls. The prices were....idk how to say this but ive never seen such low prices for such high quality I even asked if the tags were a misprint. Sam just laughed and said his boss was a little crazzy but that they believed if the customer was happy then so would they. Sam was really chill and talked me through the whole selection including some pretty complicated perculator systems. He even let me test out a bong i liked using a vapor pen to give me the full feeling, I've never had that happen in a smoke shop before and it was sick!!!! He helped me sign up for their mailing list which also entered me in a monthly contest for a free piece from the shop. I found a cool little turtle pipe and with the buy one get one free i also got a really cool glass sherlock holmes pipe!! the whole transaction only cost me $45!!! Even after i was done buying things i stayed in the shop for another half an hour just talking to sam about tattoos and art he was more interested in being friends than just taking my money. its safe to say this is my shop from now on thank you ART&PEOPLE you guys rock!!!!!
