I'm a huge fan of Michael's. They have a lot of cool crafts for many things. I go there for everything I've planned many baby showers and bachelorette parties, so Michael's would always be the place to go to for nifty items.
I've always gone to the locations off Southside or Hodges & Beach. Never a bad experience. Just the other day, my husband and I were out in Orange Park and we went ahead and visited this location in Argyle. We both walked in, passing a working who looked at us as we walked through the door and not once did she welcome us in. I'm no celebrity, so I'm not begging for much when I walk through a door, but I'm making that a point because someone else walked in a min later and she clearly noticed that person enough to welcome her in. We were in the front aisle looking at adobe apothecary jars so of course I noticed it. Maybe because we're a young Asian couple... I try not to think of it being the color or our skin, but who knows. There are still people like that.
Anyways, so I finally decided on which jars to go with and we're ready to check out. Our luck, the person at the register is the same young lady who pretended not to see us walk through the door but clearly noticed the other person after us. Great. No sort of greeting once again when we got to her line. Didn't ask if we found everything okay like most places would have asked. Cashed me out, handed me the receipt, I said "Thank You", I hear nothing back and my husband KNOWS that is one of my biggest pet peeves, not getting the proper acknowledgment. I really cannot stand bad manners. Please, thank you, hello, and have a nice day is VERY important to me. So my husband goes "thank you, have a good night", she ALSO did not respond back to him. Tell me, how do you NOT hear it twice when it's being said back to back? Now I'm really feeling like it's because we're Asian. That little girl needs to check her manners. She clearly do not need to be dealing with customers. Especially, not in this location. Argyle is full of Asians.
If there weren't 3 other people waiting behind us to cash out I would have asked if she heard us, but I do not believe in embarrassing anyone. Maybe she had a bad day, but one day she is going to learn. She might get someone else who won't be as nice as us who will just walk away without being acknowledged back. Especially, after spending some money in their store. We will not be back to this location. No thanks. The 2 stars was because they had the jars I've been looking for. That's all. read more
