Checkout takes forever. If you get in the wrong line and have been waiting, if they call backup and if the backup does come up to open another line, they leave the people who have been waiting in line and help the people who just walked up. When opening a new line, they should ALWAYS ask for the next person in line. 6 people got checked out who came up after me. I had one item and was second in line when I walked up. Yet I waited in line and watched them open 2 more lines and help people behind me and people that walked up long after me. Terrible service. Cheap quality products. Name brand stuff never on sale.

Awful customer service. Should not promote as a Christian owned company. What a joke. Did a return with the invoice and the Battle Creek Michigan managers treated me like garbage. Sticker on item was different then what their system charged. Not the customers fault. What a horrible experience for a 15.00 return.

I love Hobby Lobby and as a Christian appreciate many Christian products. But I am really opposed to buying items made in communist China, & therefore limit my shopping there (it is nearly impossible to find anything not made by this repressive country). Please, Hobby Lobby, take a stand & . stop supporting this government. Thank you.

Didn't the fabric used to be 30% off list price all the time? Now they just offer 30% off every other week. How tricky and sneaky is that? Hobby Lobby's ads never seem to work out for me either. There is always a reason why I am not given the discount. Plus the cashiers have to memorize the ad because they are not computerized if you can imagine that in this day and age. So you have to run back and double check to see why you didn't get the sale price. It has become very unappealing to shop at Hobby Lobby and I am done with it. Plus let's face it, their stuff is from China and pretty cheesy and cheap. At least you used to be able to get 40% off with a coupon but now that's done. Bye, bye Hobby Lobby. You aren't what you used to be and people are noticing. It's way too aggravating and who needs that these days????

DO NOT BUY ONLINE!!! RETURN PROCESS IS NOT DESCRIBED PROPERLY. VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO RETURN! NO ONE WILL HELP! WAS TOLD I WAS RUDE BECAUSE 8 TEYING RO UNDERSTAND WHY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RETURN A DAMAGED ITEM! I SENT PICS (WICH IS REQUIRED TO EVEN GET A LABEL) THEN THEY WANT ONE PIC PER EMAIL. ALL THIS IS TOLD TO ME AFTER I RECEIVED A DAMAGED ITEM. I RESEARCHED WEBSIGHT AND CALLED BEFORE PURCHASING. NOONE MENTIONED ANY OF THIS! HOBBY LOBBY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS. I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN THIS STORE!!!!! WOULD HAVE GIVEN 0STARS IF I WAS ABLE

I feel that Hobby Lobby is a bigot. Having every holiday expect Halloween? When so many pieces of Christmas evolved from pagan traditions? It feels very discriminatory.

Return This Krylon paint is not chrome, it’s more flat gray. I used it exactly like it said to in the directions. I called Hobby lobby and asked if I could return it and they said yes. I brought it back to the Beaver Creek hobby lobby where I purchased it, then the cashier told me that I could not return it because it had been opened. I contacted Krylon and attempted to get a refund, by Krylon said they could not refund because of the way that the Hobby Lobby receipt looks, it just has the department rather than the specific item. So I went back to the Beaver Creek Hobby Lobby and talked with a woman at the front named Laura. I explain the situation to Laura, and she said she would give me a note to give to Krylon stating that that receipt was for Krylon spray paint. I waited a while, and Laura was walking around, and I asked her for the note, then she suddenly brought her hand up like she was going to SLAP ME IN THE FACE and shouted I can’t do that!

A shout out to the excellent customer care at the Erie, Pa Hobby Lobby. I visited this store on Thursday, Oct 15, 2021. I was having trouble finding an item, asked an employee and before I knew it, every employee was looking in different areas trying to find it for me! Thanks for always being so friendly and helpful! Love shopping at this store!

Teacher discount.... don't bother! Went to Hobby Lobby in Manchester, NH to buy glitter to make calming jars with my students (used to have glitter but it was misplaced when I moved classrooms this year and I didn't realize until last minute). Asked for their very small 10% teacher discount. Had my teacher ID and could have shown this week's pay stub... nope, doesn't matter. You can't get the discount unless paying with a check or credit card that has the school's name on it (a teacher will almost never, ever have either of these). I do a lot of nice things for my students and pay out of my own pocket... and will never go to Hobby Lobby again to buy supplies. I'll go to Michael's that has a bigger teacher discount and accepts my teacher ID as verification. It's basically lying when you claim to have a teacher discount but have rules that prevent teachers from using it.

I recently made a purchase at a hobby lobby in New Port Richey, Fl....I noticed the cashier was not wearing a mask....While I was there she told me that they put "poison" in the vaccine.......so obviously she was not vaccinated. I called corporate and asked them what their policy on employees wearing masks was...i was told they could not tell me. I then assured them that I would no longer be shopping in a store that allows unvaccinated personnel to work so closely to the public all day without wearing a mask. Shame on them.................

We went to Howthorne store to buy shadow box for our special piece of cloth that had an original hand message by legendary person. It was a surprise birthday gift for our friend. We believed that it'd be worth to wait for 5 days...but everything turned out to be nightmare by extremely rude and arrogant store manager Cassandra. When we went to the store on our way to friend's party (it was 2 days after store pick up date) we saw only empty shadow box on the floor without chef coat inside, no covering, no touch up frame work but just our name on it. We asked a framer where our coat was but framer told us that he didn't know this order. And he needs a lot of time to do this job and asked us to come back another day. So, we asked him to call a manager. We waited for 15 minutes until manager, Cassandra showed up. The first word she said was "Okay! unfortunately I don't know anything about that!" then "I don't know who took this order but I can't help you to finish our job before your party, you have to wait 2 or 3 hours more" Maybe you can go to Micheal and they can probably do faster". She's never said any polite words like " I wish I could do..." or "Is there anything I can help you with?", even "Sorry" word until I mentioned! Her voice was loud and high with power like hysterical teacher was talking and she blamed this case on her associates. She was kept telling us she didn't know about this. She didn't even care that she made a big moment with her voice at store. I think Hobby Lobby assigned definitely wrong person as a manager. My husband and I both work at service industry over 20 years and she was the worst manager we ever met. I hope this post will encourage someone who are victims like us. We'll report her attitude to head office,too as well as other social media. Additionaly, she was VERY KINDLY told us as below... We don't have to do the job for you if you are not satisfied with our service! Our framers were not trained well that's why work is slow, our store was just opened two month ago and we don't have not enough associates, some of them didn't do the way I taught, you better to go to another store! Our order system was supposed to be like that...brah brah brah... We ended up showing a party 3 hours delay without birthday gift.

I visited the Hawthorne, Ca store and I feel this store has serious racist undertones, which seems out of character since it is a store that actually represents Christ, with gospel music always playing! The people are aerogant and unfriendly, they seem as if you're distrubing them when you ask for help, they are rude and just plan old cold, totally opposite of what Christ represents. I hope someone else opens a store with a similar idea but better atmosphere, somewhere that I feel good spending my money in. These people do not represent God in any way except all the merchandise they have.

They have open cashiers and only one refund exchange line and allow customers to check out in that line. Then when I get up there the B walks away. I will use Michael’s instead or order online. Never again.

The store on Merle Hay Rd in Des Moines Ia. is always super busy but they can't seem to figure out they need more checkers. I asked the clerk to put my wall plaques back to back in the bag so they wouldn't get scratched, she replied that's not the right way and did it her way which I changed, not to mention she was very rude after I asked her to put them in the way I wanted. Then I get home and see I didn't get the discount on one of them so had to go back the next day. First thing she ask is if I brought the item back, I said no I don't wish to return it I want my discount. She called over a manager and she said I should bring the item back (I live about 25m away), I said you can see on the receipt I didn't get the sale price as those SKU #'s are the same, she implied that is not what they are and they have no way of knowing what that item was. Give me a break please, do you really think I'm that stupid! Then the manager goes on to say very loudly "refund her for the sale price, she's clearly upset about this so she can move on", really, where did you find these people they are clearly not customer friendly. I would have fired or wrote them up if they were my employee and treated customers with no respect like that! I will never go back to that store again. Just have to add this info. I was an interior decorator for 16 years so I think I know all about how items get damaged!

I would give this store a zero if I could. I ordered a big heavy mirror online because they didn't have it in the store. It came broke, is in pieces. It is heavy, and big. I took it to the Canton, Ga. location to return it and they said they can not take broken items. Now I'm stuck with trying to get this big, heavy item back to them after I've driven it back and forth from the store and home. Not not buy a big item online from this store, they are not standing behind their items!

They have a store full of metals that do not list the materials used on the packaging. A buyer has the right to know if the items are nickel free. This matters.

Went to the new store in Weaverville NC. Was six people away from cashier and this took 45 minutes. I realize the people are new but when questioned hobby lobby doesnt have scanners and doesnt intend to get them. They make these poor cashiers type in every scew number. Thats when I noticed several cashiers had double glasses on. I called a manager over to help our cashier pointing out the brace on my leg and she stated "I dont know what to tell you" by the time I left the store I was in tears. Told the girl handing out flyers it was to painful to come back she said she cried all day yesterday due to the stress of how this store runs its registers and how upset customers were. First time at a hobby lobby and when a store is ok reducing its employees as well as customers to tears they can have it! Horrible...

This is only based on the store manager at the Janesville store, he is not only unprofessional, but literally avoids customers, I frequent often and I never seen him smile or acknowledge customers, he is the worst I’ve ever seen in a Christian based store , get rid of him

Tonya is one of the the managers of the Lexington, SC store. She should NOT be able to have this position! I have witnessed on countless occasions, being that I am a frequent flyer, her chastising her employees! She is rude, condescending, disrespectful, talks down to them in front of customers, and is VERY unprofessional! I have on occasion asked for her assistance while shopping and she was very short with me and almost acted as if she were put out that she actually had to work instead of just walking around the store! I am a professional person and have employees under me and you do not treat people the way that she does. To be a manager or co- manager, you need to have people skills, be fair, respectful of others, no matter age, race, gender or religious! Tonya, you really ought to be ashamed of yourself!!! Michaela is GREAT!
