My husband and I are not big crafters so we don't spend a lot of time in craft/hobby stores…read more However, this weekend we needed to stop by Michael's for a couple frames - this is most likely the last time we will be visiting Michael's because our experience was less than ideal. We went back to their frame section and saw 2 large signs on the end caps that said "buy one item get one item free". At first we weren't finding anything we wanted so we visited the custom frame section. The employee back there, Rachel, kindly helped us quote a couple frames before I asked if the buy one get one applied to custom frames - they said no. We thanked them and we went back to look at the frames in the aisles. Still under the impression the regular frames were buy one get one, we picked 2 out and headed to self checkout. After ringing everything up, we saw that we were about to be charged full price for both frames. I pulled an employee aside and requested assistance to which she said "let me ask someone else". My husband followed her to the custom frame area, where Rachel told them that those signs didn't apply to ANY of the frames and, with an attitude, said "well that's exactly how corporate tells us to do it". Frustrated by what we perceived as false advertising, my husband requested to speak to a manager. He had to make the request 3 times before Rachel said "well I can get a manager but that's what corporate wanted". When the manager arrived, my husband took her to the 2 large signs on the end caps of the frame aisles and showed her that it said "buy one item get one item free" and that nowhere on the sign did it specify specific items (despite the fact that the manager and employees were telling us otherwise). Meanwhile, while my husband was explaining our frustration and how it was false advertising, I was waiting at the self checkout for him to return. The 1st employee that we interacted with returned to the checkout area and looked at me like she was wondering why I was still there. I said "my husband is talking to a manager because we feel this is false advertising". The woman responded with "well it isn't because the sign said it was for shadow boxes" (side note - there was a sign for shadow boxes but it was in the shadow box aisle). I replied to her saying "well my husband is speaking to a manager so you do not need to argue with me right now". She walked away. My husband returned to tell me the manager was going to give us 50% off both the frames. However, he shared that the entire time he was talking to the manager she was continuing to blame corporate and saying there was nothing she could do. When he challenged her one more time that she "couldn't do anything", she said "I guess I could give you a discount just this once". We were instructed to go through the checkout with a live person as opposed to self checkout, that way the cashier could give us our discount. We waited in line for several minutes (totally fine, not complaining), however we both realized that Rachel, the custom frame employee, was hovering around the checkout area the entire time and giving us very obvious dirty looks - utterly unprofessional. Needless to say, my husband and I were absolutely appalled by our experience at this Michael's location. The entire time we were trying to work towards a solution, we were being told that we were wrong and that it's corporate who makes the rules and they just follow them. We walked out of there with an understanding that this location does not do well to train their employees OR managers in customer service. Two employees argued with us, and the manager clearly did not approach the situation with intention to provide positive customer service or to come to a solution. Given that the employees and manager at this store seem to point to corporate when they have frustrated customers, perhaps corporate should step in and provide some training on correct advertising and appropriate customer service. While my husband and I are just 2 individuals and our refusal to go to Michael's moving forward will not hurt their corporate company, we will still be choosing Hobby Lobby for our crafting needs moving forward. And you can bet we will be sharing our experience with our friends and family.

It reminds me of the kind of boutiques I would shop when I lived in Chicago and Austin and that I miss. Scout carries a fun variety. There is top quality vintage furniture and home goods with plenty of new products as well. You can find Baggu reusable bags, fun stationary, quirky gifts like Queer Eye or Golden Girls candles, stickers, and keychains. Today there was even a plant pop-up shop. The owner is the operator and is very friendly. I truly hope this store does well as it fills a niche here in Lafayette that we don't have otherwise. I only worry that not enough people know about this little gem. My only "complaints" would be that I want MORE! More hours (right now they're only open from Wed-Sat 10-3 which means I can only make it on a Saturday) and more inventory! More stationary, and small inventory.
