An odd experience
I haven't been to the Michael's in my area (Montgomery, Alabama) since Dec. 2023. At that visit I left my items at the register and walked out because the person at the register was too busy with a personal phone call to ring up my purchases. I went back with my son to look for something he needed (April 25th 2025), and I looked for fusible quilt batting, they didn't have it. He found something that he thought would do for his project and we had to have it cut. They have fabric, but NO cutting area. We had to go to the picture frame area to have it cut. Nothing went really wrong with that part of our visit, but here is the part that made me speechless. The employee told me that H L would be going out of business because Micheal's had more of a selection than the other store??????!!!!! First of all, the Michael's store is half the size of H L, and they do not carry a lot of the things that H L carries. I just replied "Oh really?" to her statement. I don't frequent the craft stores here that much as I get my craft supplies from Dollar Tree when they have what I'm looking for or order them from internet providers. I don't think I will be in a big hurry to go back to Michael's.
