Always shopping here and never get through in a reasonable amount of time. They need more help to assist customers and check out! We waited in line for 30 minutes. The line just didn't move and we were at the head of it. It's a great store with just about everything you need when it comes to crafts and sewing. The fabrics are on a huge sale right now. It's really the only game in town in its category other than Walmart. Michaels doesn't sell fabrics. If you do shop here often, it's best to download their App. It will always save you money, even if there is a sale going on. Cut remnants were 75% off. Some fleece was 60% off. Just about everything in the store was on sale. read more

I ordered a sewing machine online, went to pick it up and was told that the machine couldn't be found in the store. No offer for substitution or compensation for my drive. The worse customer service. The national line doesn't operate on Saturday. Called another store to ensure stock and no one answers the telephone. Joanne needs competition to tighten these practices!!! read more

The thin old lady with blonde straight hair who normally works in fabrics, is absolutely the rudest. Is she prejudice against beautiful people? I don't know. But what I do know is SHES RUDE EVERYDAY OF HER LIFE!! Never a smile or a kind word! Im not one to complain but since I'm waiting outside the store with 20 people ahead of me and the lines not moving AT ALL, I've decided to multi-task. Waiting out here at a stand still, for over twenty minutes allotted me the perfect to complain. Furthermore the cashiers are rarely kind either. They all look like they hate their lives. And I've seen many workers come & go over the years. Only two were kind & they didn't last. Surprisingly all of the jerks are still here. Shop here or not just know they're probably going to be rude. But I will say they have a wide variety of quality fabrics. read more

JOANN Fabric and Crafts - Long wait!!! You might as well bring a chair like one guy did and some snacks. It's gonna be a while. - Fabric Stores Near Me - Margate, Florida

Staff cannot answer basic questions about sewing. Not good at a fabric store. If you don't need any help I suppose you will do okay. read more

Joann fabrics needs to start paying their employees better. At least that's the first thought that always comes to my head whenever I shop here. Joann fabrics should be known as the place that employs miserable people. The cashiers never smile, and literally every other employee looks like their mental health is hanging on by a thread. I asked the lady in the fabric cutting area if they had a different color of fleece, and her expression did not change from her miserable looking face, and she didn't even respond to me vocally, she just shook her head and frowned at me. Please do better for these people. Or just find happier people. read more

Lord christ in heaven the employees and computers at the register here barely have a pulse. The line at the checkout is where shoppers and their hopes and dreams go to die. read more

Stood there for over 10 minutes by myself trying to find the right sewing machine while all the employees just walked past me with no help. I finally get help and after 10 minutes having to stop an employee they tell me the product I'm looking for is not in stock. If they had simply interacted with the customers or ask if they need any help I wouldn't have wasted my time. read more

Since I wrote my last review I have since change my opinion. They have gotten a lot better with customer service and have hired more help. I love their specials and the fact I can use as many coupons as I want as long as they have different numbers and even competitors. I always find things to buy, that is the only downside (lol). Love, love this place! read more

Walked in to purchase some high density foam and fabric to make some pillows. Found the foam $25, thread like $4 and some fabric with no price. Now the first thing you learn in sales is SELL! The lady was so hung up on the fact that because there was no bar code on the clearance item that she could t sell it! Instead of searching for a comparable item and pricing it accordingly she insisted it was corporate policy that she could sell it and we should find another fabric. Lena the other store employee encouraged her to help but she was lost. We walked out and they failed to make a $60 sale to the only people in the store. That's why stores close. Ignorant help.. read more

I am not sure where these other people have been shopping, but I have been coming to this Joann for years...even at its previous location in Coral Springs. The staff is well informed and willing to assist. Maybe some shoppers don't understand that when a fabric cutter is working on an order with several patterns, they simply have to wait! Some times, there are lines in any store...Publix, Walmart, etc. If one doesn't have time for retail, then go home and order on line! There are those of us who respect WORKING people out there getting it done! Still not satisfied? Then go to the design district in Miami, pay $90/yard. Otherwise, get in line and say, " Thank you!" read more

I was in the store for a hour. Looking for bridle satin in red. Finding none I asked for a mgr. she told me " we only have white, we don't carry any other color " I then asked if an other Joann's carried it and told no. So I'm letting you know don't go looking for colored satin there. Okay read more

Rudest people in such a stressful time like the COVID-19. My mother waited in line for almost an hour wanting to get in, the store was set to close at 7pm (and she arrived before 6pm) and two young kids part of the staff came out to literally treat everyone (including my mother) the rudest way possible saying they were closing early without any reasoning. I assume they wanted to end their shift early but that still didn't justify that there were people waiting to get in and they just decided to be rude and not even explain the reason for closing early. My mom just needed one item and the young associate came out and said that "he couldn't help her because if he had to help her he would have to help everyone". Consider changing your management to people that are more prepared for these kinds of roles. Specially during this time, a company like this needs empathetic and professional people, not kids. read more

This location has the worst customer service! All of the employees are rude, starting with the manager. Joanne's should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to allow this. I will never shop this or any other location of Joanne's. read more

This is a fun place to go for all your sewing and crafting needs. They have the biggest selection of fabric in the area. Okay, I know this isn't saying a lot, but at least it's something. There are sewing machines and accessories and notions. The crafting section has a large variety of supplies for all kinds of crafting projects from bird houses to fabric painting. There are always current seasonal favorites, like gingerbread house kits. The prices are generally reasonable. The best thing is that you are allowed to "stack" coupons and there are always plenty available, along with different store specials. The big issue here is a lack of sales associates when you need to check out. I've never been there when we didn't have to wait for an unreasonably long time to check out. This seems to be prevalent with the chain. It doesn't matter which location we go to, it's always the same. I even read a review of a location in CA that had the same complaint. If they would make it easier to get in and out, I'd probably give it 4 stars, but I get tired of the same issue all the time. read more

Rude employee makes my Yelp rating so low. We walked around the entire store looking for what we needed... did not see any employees to ask for help. Finally in the very back corner of the store I found a girl with a headset on. I asked her my question and she replied with.... "did you press the button on the desk for help." I looked at her for a minute then pressed the button that was right infront of us. She touched her headset and said "oh the help button worked. How can I help you?" We just walked away in disbelief of what just happened. Rude. Did not buy anything just left the store. read more

This is a tough one for me, because if you need fabric and/or sewing/project items, this is my go-to place, but the staff are usual never available to help and lines are often long. Store: Jo-Ann's is conveniently located in Shopping Center (next to Home Goods) off of Sample Rd. and 441 (just past Casino) in Margate. They have a lot of fabric, sewing equipment, accessories and other project items. Note: Guys, this is where I get my dress shirt/suit/blazer buttons and fabric for my daughter's last two costumes (Minion and Wonder Woman - check the pics)! Staff: although they have a lot of items, it isn't always easy to find things and the staff is almost never available to help and only a few have been friendly. I don't like to leave a review that is down on the staff, but I hope management takes notice and provides the proper staffing, so that the staff aren't overwhelmed. Overall: I certainly recommend Jo-Ann's for your fabric/sewing needs, just be prepared to help yourself and spend some time, as lines for fabric cutting and checkout lines are often long. Note: always go online and look for coupons (they usually have a 40% off any single item coupon), they are free and almost always available. Good luck! read more

JOANN Fabric and Crafts - Wonder woman costume made from items found at Jo-Ann's! - Fabric Stores Near Me - Margate, Florida

Shame on you Joann Fabric!!!!!!!!!! In these tough times when people are losing work and jobs daily. Some of us struggle to bring in enough money to make ends meet. So when we spend HARD EARNED money on something to have the order cancelled by you, Then YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED of yourselves for not refunding our money promptly. I can not afford another 150 bucks right now to go elsewhere to purchase what I tried to purchase from you, because I am now out of work because of Covid shut downs. Its now been 3 days that I am waiting on a refund for the items you cancelled!!! My family will always come first and you're putting me AND THEM at a MAJOR Disadvantage!! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR HOLDING MY MONEY THIS LONG AFTER CANCELLING MY ONLINE ORDER that I was supposed to pick up in store!!! NOW no one will return my messages!!! BE even more ashamed during these tough times for us folks at a financial disadvantage read more

I am extremely pleased with the superior customer service I received from the manager of the Coral Springs yesterday. I had purchased 14 yards of fabric online recently, both at a 50% off price, plus an additional 10% off with an online coupon. I soon realized that I had miscalculated and only needed 11 yards. When I called customer service about it, it was too late to change the order. When the order came in I took it to the store and explained it to the manager. Although not policy, he refunded me for the total order, and allowed me to purchase the 11 yards with both discounts, even though the coupon was no longer available. The only thing that could have improved this experience would have been if I was greeted with a smile. No one on the staff ever smiles in this store. read more

Joanns is right down the street from me so I seem to gravitate that way several times a week. I love all the floor people- they are so helpful and kind but I am smitten about the new security guard that followed me throughout the store last week. Granted I am a clay sculptor/ doll maker and gardener and am always a mess. I was insulted plus I am friendly but not personal with the staff, why didn't anyone tell him I float around the store getting ideas and findings? Beads here, felt there, clay there, paint there, mica way over there. Sometimes I need a big cart! I'm still too hot to get material for my LR drapes. I think hurt is a better word. I thought they thought better of me than a common shoplifter. Hobby Lobby and Michael's are a jaunt but they welcome me. Maybe I am "old school" and just expecting more. read more

Horrible customer service. I drove out of my way to come to the store because their website says they were in stock for certain items. When I arrived at store the item wasn't there, and it cost $9 shipping to get it from another store or online. In no way did they try to accommodate me. And frankly every person I came into contact with in the store was unfriendly and unhelpful read more

On the hunt for pinky flamingo wear when I found myself at JoAnn. I asked if there was any flamingo cloth. The sales girl called on the loud speaker for flamingo msterial. Guess what I was presented with 2 kinds to choose from. Ren my sales girl showed me a 50% off online coupon which I was able to use. I guess I will be trying my hand at something flamingo ish for #YSB15 read more

This review will be short, but inclusive of what this store is about. Joann's is my new go to place for arts and craft/fabric needs. The customer service is pretty good when you can find an associate which may be a little difficult at time. You will always find an associate at the fabric cutting counter, but they are usually busy. My reason i like this store is usually any day of the week you can find a coupon on retail me not for at least 40% off or more. The coupons may be found at retailmenot.com and click the Joann's section. The coupons are good unless an item is already marked down or on clearance. Get to this store and check out all the goods. read more

Good selection but they have the most useless Joann Fabrics associates I've ever experienced. Worst customer service! I'll stick to my typical JoAnn location. read more

I can't believe how a manager acts to their employees in front of customers. Like it's a chore to help an employee. I needed fabric cut for me and the price online was different then what it's ringing up. The lady was very nice and said she would get a manager. The manager came over very rude and was so nasty to the lady. She was like just do what it says online. It's not a big deal and rolled her eyes. She then had to bring up about the employee's evaluation in front of me. Very inappropriate. read more

This store has the worst customer service!! Even during these tough times, they make people wait in line for an hour outside, in the heat, and then don't let them in because they want to close the store early. They did this to my mother in law... Their staff was so rude she came home crying. Shame on you people, grow a heart and improve your service!!! read more

Came rushing for 1 item, 7 minutes to closing time. Employee was pushing carts inside the store and flat out said they close at 9:00. I guess 8:53 is the new 9:00. Buy online, you will avoid the bad customer service this place has. Employees don't know I'm their job security. If I don't come to buy, they will soon be unemployed. read more

Worst service possible. Sale items not ringing up properly. Manager comes to fix things. Provided inaccurate information. I ended up leaving paying more than the cashier initially charged me. She kept turning the monitor my way. Ridiculous. Beware and check your receipt. Better yet - stay away! read more

The worst store of any kind I have ever been in! There are literally two employees there any day of the week and both of them work so slow it may as well be in reverse. I went in for a simple return, anyplace else literally in the country would have taken 10 minutes. This process took 45 minutes and involved three people! And even of those three with one a manager they were all three stumped. I will never set foot in this place again and I strongly suggest you don't either!! read more

So many goodies here. I could spend hours in here just thinning of all the great crafts i could do. Very clean store, very organized but didn't see any staff except for one cashier. It was a slow day i guess. I must've spent over an hour in here just gazing looking for goodies lol. (I tend to lose track on time when i have intriguing things in front of me.) read more

So I ask for help because I'm not the best at math for fabric and the woman is nice and willing to help. She cuts what I think is the right amount because I told her WHAT I needed. I get home to lay it out and its half of what I need. Great read more

Slow slow amazing only one clerk on a Sunday. I like this store but they need to have more help we had trouble trying to find prices

Eh this store is big for no reason they never have what i am looking for and the staff is always too busy to help you or each other instead of the manager coming up front to help the cashier with a transaction she was telling her what to do over the ear piece the young lady was having a difficult time and there was like 10 people in line poor customer service I will stick to the store on federal read more

All I can say is whenever I go to this Joanns in Margate, I just can't beleive corporate is not notified they need more staffing. As a matter of fact I will be writing to them to let them aware they need more employees working there. Every single time I go there which used to be two times a week, there is a long line and only one cashier.. come on you can do better than this! I get sick to my stomach when I stay in line, and when the line gets super big, I'm furious that no one helps the single cashier!!! This has to change.. I mean is this a business? Really???? read more

Worst customer service ever for the second and last time. Asked if they had an item, employee said "yeah, it's back there". Stood in front of a cashier and her trainee while they checked the trainee's phone, never acknowledged. Started ringing me up. Informed me of my total, did not apply coupon, missed an item and had to start again. This was not the trainee. Asked to speak to a manager. Some lady came up, I asked if she was the manager. Her response "I could be". Told her of the service I received AND SHE JUST LOOKED AT ME! NO RESPONSE, NO "I AM SORRY". NOTHING! I asked her if she thought that what I experienced was acceptable, if an apology was due? She said in the most sarcastic tone ever "sorry". Today's visit, the smug cashier rang me up, told me my total, handed me my receipt. Again with the no acknowledging. IS IT A PREREQUISITE THAT YOU ONLY HIRE PEOPLE WITH ATTITUDES THAT SUCK? If I could call them all the "B" word here, I would. You could not pay me to go back there. Michael's is much better, better prices and courteous and professional employees. read more

I used to come to this location often because of the variety of fabrics they have available, however the staff is SO RUDE!!! Every time I go to the fabric section they all look so miserable!!! They work slow and with lots of attitude so it's no wonder there's always long lines. The last time I went I waited so long that my 4 month old baby started crying. I had to bring him out and nurse him while in line so I wouldn't lose my place. The employee gave me dirty looks and started mumbling some things. I asked another employee what the problem was and she said that I probably "shouldn't do that here" (referring to feeding my baby). Well if I didn't have to wait so damn long for you all to do your job I wouldn't have been in that situation in the first place. Horrible attitude and rude employees who are not helpful at all!!! Don't bother asking them for help, they get pretty upset if you have any questions. I do everything I can to avoid this place and get my items from other places before I have no other choice but to get it from this store. If I could give it zero stars I would. read more

Customer service is non-existent here. Before I could even finish asking for what I was looking for, their employee in the fabric section told me they didn't have it. I asked for another type of fabric and she left to go check. After waiting like an idiot for awhile thinking she would return , I walked to another section to realize that she wasn't looking for the material at all. I asked her if she had checked for the material I had asked about and she told me her manager left. Really?!??! You can't find out if you have a bolt of fabric without your manager being present? How preposterous!!! read more

Always find what I'm looking for, and they have have a wide variety of items. Only bad thing is they don't have alot of staff, and the staff aren't trained in speed...they are so slow. Don't be in a rush to go anywhere you will be in line for a bit. read more

I came in to use the great 60% off coupon I saw on the website. I noticed that the item I went to purchase was in a 50% section with no products only prices listed. I pick up two plus another product to use my coupon on. When I got to the register, they rang up at full price. I remarked to the cashier, Lori,"Oh, those aren't on sale." I didn't ask her override the pricing to match the deceptive signage or even to check the sign because I had a coupon so it wasn't a big deal. Immediately, I'm met with attitude and she barks at me that it's not on sale and to pull up the coupon on my smart phone. I'm mildly put off by this but I hand her my PRINTED coupon and I'll just use my other coupons on a separate transaction. She then scans it and barks at me again to pull up another coupon on my phone for the other items. I tell her that I printed it from the website so it's going to be the same number but she argues with me that they're different numbers. The service in the building is awful so my phone was taking a while to pull up the site, to which she remarks derisively treat it's Joann.com. Obviously I know why the site is, that's where I found the coupon. I have my boyfriend who's standing close by to pull it up on his phone. Of course, the coupon he pulls up doesn't work as it's the SAME coupon that I printed earlier. The lady behind me offers her coupon and is promptly told that she can't do that and use her coupon in her transaction afterward. I decline the coupon so she can use it. Lori was so incredibly rude, I'm horrified that Joann has such an unprofessional individual working in customer service. Will not shop here again. read more
