Michaels

This store has everything! For all your crafting needs from scrapbooking to painting, modeling for boys coloring for girls, bathroom to living room accessories, party favours to party decorations, the list could go on forever! The ultimate Canadian craft store for artists of all persuasions! Each Isle is clearly marked to help you find what you need. The staff are helpful and attentive and portray a very good attitude. I just wish there was one or two more out on the floor to help with the odd item you can't seem to find!

Michael's is alright. Prices are always super high compared to other art stores. This particular location wasn't too great. The staff were quite rude to my friend and I. I was in one section for awhile because I was on the phone and one staff member kept walking into that section or obviously walking by staring at us like we were stealing or she suspected we were going to steal. I don't know if it's the way I looked that day or if it was a racial issue but it left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. When we asked for help another lady came and was rude about us asking to get to some markers locked in a cabinet. She even walked away when my friend asked to look at a particular marker. She did come back with the key to help us but we didn't know that because she gave no indication she just walked away without saying anything. Not only was that rude but she was huffing and puffing around. This whole experience was disheartening. I really needed new drawing and marking supplies and didn't want to go to another location so I bought here, however, I will never go here again or recommend this location to anyone. This location needs to either proof their employees better or give them customer service classes every so often. Being in a job were you have lots of contact with other people on a regular basis means you need to have good communication and people skills. I don't care how you felt that day, or the stress that goes on in your lives or your preferences on race or whatever it may be, you don't bring that to your job and treat any customer like that. I felt singled out for sure. If it be the colour of my skin or the way I looked or dressed that day does not mean it's okay to hover me as if I am stealing something. I was on the phone loudly talking to my mother about the PNE. I gave no clear indication i was doing anything criminal, therefore, should not be treated like I was one. Disgusting behaviour

This store has friendly staff and ooooh the assortment of crafty needs.Everything from yarns, needles, looms, to craft paints, scrapbooking, flower arrangements, jewelry supplies, model paints, fabric paints, baskets, cake and candy making, candles, home decorations, and so very much more. Plan to spend hours here just in browsing. The staff are helpful in finding items. Lots of items to have on hand as gifts. A weekly email sign up for discount coupons too. Highly recommend this store.

It's Michaels. It's always the same ... they have way too much pretty stuff and it's much too easy for me to spend too much money. But I love it! Not one complaint.

Lovely staff! Great store :) especially Niki that works there. She is very funny, exciting, and helpful.
