It has been some time since I've been in a Michael's. I used to love crafting but it has taken a…read morebackseat in priorities. I went because I had a specific need. I asked a clerk for assistance and she just said "look back here and if you can't find anything, look in the craft area," as she walked away. Hmmmm, I looked where she had pointed, couldn't find anything and then had to search for the craft aisles. I roamed around aimlessly for some time. It was not easy. I finally found the craft aisles but had questions and there weren't any clerks around. As I headed to the checkout, I looked up my account on the app. No clerks at the front but the self checkout was open. I checked out and left with no other human interaction. It's a shame how the retail industry has changed. Ok, bye.

This review is for several reasons why I always had issues with this location…read more Yesterday I called in to ask if they had a plain wreath. The young girl who answered the phone had no clue and had to ask someone. I was placed on hold and can hear them talking. She went back on the phone and said the big wreaths they had were not plain and the only plain they had were small ones. We asked what the size was, etc. She claimed they had none and the only one they had were small. I didn't want to waste time, was the reason for calling but I drove to the store anyway, because how can they possibly not have any? I went in the store and the first thing I saw was a large pallet/box full of plain wreaths right there on the floor. How can they not see that or know? Good thing I went in. It's simple to just look around. The main issue with this place why I never came back after a few years, is because there was an old woman (Karen) that used to work here who was extremely RUDE. She was SO rude over the phone and in person, when I asked for her name, she flat out lied and gave me a random name. I went in to make a complaint to the manager and the manager said there wasn't anyone by that name. I described who the Karen was and complained about their rude customer service. They were apologetic and that it wouldn't happen again. Not sure if they ever confronted her about it. She was a grumpy old woman who hated her job, well over retirement age. She was mean and was very condescending over a simple question over the phone and she hung up on me. When I called back to ask for her name is when she lied. She had a smart remark and already bad attitude. Overall, just an incompetent workplace. People who don't know what they're doing, and folks who hate their job.

The owner was so sweet, and the playtime lasted about 45 minutes. It included a meet and greet, free play, coloring with a focus on a specific color and letter, wooden puzzles, and then a little more free time to play at the end. The price is very affordable, and it's a great way to spend some time with your little one while also helping them learn. I had never been to this business before, but they also have a large DIY craft wall with activities for all ages, including adults (like decorating your own cowboy or cowgirl hat). I believe playtime is held every Thursday: 9:00-9:45 AM for ages 0-18 months and 10:00-10:45 AM for ages 2-4 years (you may want to call to confirm).

The place I was looking at couldn't deliver in my timeline because I put it off too long. I walked in to Rons Jewelers on 980 Western Ave to discuss my idea of the custom ring I wanted before we left for our anniversary vacation. Ashley looked at the picture of the ring I had been looking at and said yeah we can do that. Then I said can you do it on my very short timeline? Again Ashley said yes we can do that! I went home right away to get my wife's other rings because I needed to get the right size. I got back in about half and hour and we sat down looked at the setting I wanted and they got everything started. Two days later they had stones for me to pick from with excellent expert advice from both on the choice of the stones for what I was looking for. Once that was done I had the ring in my hands a day and a half later. They literally put other work aside to help get the perfect custom anniversary ring made for me to present to my wife. I can't say enough about the professionalism and dedication to customer service. I'll definitely be taking more work to Marc and Ashley in the future and I suggest you do too if you want to purchase or get custom orders made.
