Review for Michaels - 63485 N Hwy 97, Bend, OR 97701…read more Today, I witnessed a very disturbing situation while shopping at this Michaels location. A customer service representative--who claimed to be a manager--was loudly yelling at a customer at the checkout counter. The customer remained calm and polite, yet the manager continued berating her, calling her "horrible" and "disrespectful" in front of everyone. Regardless of the situation, no customer deserves to be screamed at in public. This created an uncomfortable scene for everyone in the store and reflected extremely poorly on the professionalism of the staff. I believe the name on the manager's tag was Sara. I fully understand that not all customer interactions are easy, but customer service requires patience and professionalism--especially from management. This experience left such a negative impression that we chose to leave and will likely be shopping at Joann's from now on, which offers many of the same products. I believe in the philosophy that "the customer is always right"--even if they're not. If someone isn't able to handle customer service responsibilities without resorting to yelling, they shouldn't be in that role. I cannot recommend this Michaels location based on today's experience.

The response, "No." "so it's 7:50 PM and the store closes at 8 PM and you won't hold the items in the bag till morning? " No." ... Well, I know Hobby lobby doesn't like certain types of people, but I guess we can add the local animals in need to the list. Nevertheless, I went down to TJ Maxx & doubled the budget.

We first spied the eye catching designs and gorgeous glazes of Steven Provence Pottery this summer…read morein the small display of his work for sale at one of our favorite Bend stores, Ginger's Kitchenware. ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/gingers-kitchenware-bend-2 ) A beautiful array of pottery pieces in designs from geometric to sort of botanically inspired patterns and glaze colors that are "ahhhh...." worthy. The pieces captured our attention for their art and their functional potential. We thought they were elegant in the combination of usefulness and organic simplicity in the designs. We went to visit Steven's pottery studio this week to look through additional options in searching out a couple of coffee mugs that matched given they were to be a gift, the gift recipient likes matched things and Ginger's had only singletons in mugs when we went back to make our purchase there. We're so glad we got to visit with Steven, what a likable guy he is in addition to being a talented artist, and see his new studio location. I have some Steven Provence Pottery bowls for daily use on my holiday wish list. But my husband and I also saw mugs and platters and plates and pitchers and trivets and bakers to admire. Not to mention bowls and platters large enough to be display pieces that sing to us too. I've included photos here but I'm a lousy photographer and can't begin to capture how wonderful are these designs and glazes. So I've also inserted a photo from the Steven Provence Pottery Facebook page that does a better job than I can of showing the range of work. As postscript, this is another of those stories in the unfolding short story book of how Bend's economic collapse in places like the building industry due to the implosion of the high flying Real Estate speculation market has had good implications in other areas. Because while the "Aspen wannabe" boom was going in, folks like Steven and his business partner and wife had trouble affording commercial rents in Bend. He was previously working out of private garage space. But with the decline in rental rates in Bend, he's able to move his studio into a large space which will be easier for shoppers to come visit and see his work. Everybody wins in that arrangement. Everything is connected. If you're looking for something beautiful and functional for your home or as a gift for someone else's, Steven Provence Pottery is a good place to start. You can find it at Ginger's Kitchenware or at his studio. (Both Ginger's and Steven ship.) Tips - 1) Call before you go to the studio. Although hours are listed as Fridays and Saturdays from 10 - 5, either Steven or his wife are sometimes at the studio at other times. And sometimes away on weekends for shows. 2) For my Yelp friends and others who use wheelchairs, canes or crutches, the studio is completely accessible from level in entry. But helpful to know in advance that the parking lot of the complex in which the building sits does not have designated accessible parking.

Working with Kiesha at In The Zone Ink was honestly one of the best experiences I've had bringing a…read moreproduct to life. We spent several months dialing in the designs for my company shirts and sweatshirts, and throughout that entire process--despite my busy schedule and being out of town often--Kiesha was incredible. We went through multiple rounds of revisions and adjustments across several proofs, and not once did she show any frustration. Instead, she brought consistent energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine excitement to get everything just right. Her communication was top-notch. She was always quick to respond to emails and calls, kept things moving forward, and made the entire process feel easy and collaborative. And the final result? Better than I expected. The quality, the detail, the execution--everything came out dialed. In The Zone Ink did a tremendous job from start to finish, and Kiesha went above and beyond every step of the way. I couldn't recommend them more.
