What is going on at Hobby Lobby?! I have shopped at Hobby Lobby since I bought my first house in the late 80’s. For years I have had Hobby Lobby in my monthly budget - food, gas, clothes, utilities, HOBBY LOBBY! Today I went in there to find a gift for a friend’s birthday, and what a change! I had to hunt and hunt for anything good, it was so full of junk! All that kitchen stuff - I would go to a kitchen store if I wanted that! It looks like the inside of a Bed, Bath and Beyond and there is a reason why that store went out of business. No one liked it! I guess everything has to end, and today my love affair with Hobby Lobby died a fast death. So sad.

While I like the products and prices, I have a complaint about a particular employee at the store located in the Landmark Plaza in Alexandria VA. Deborah is a cashier and on several occasions I've seen her be rude and unhelpful to costumers. I recently noticed acts this way to non-Americans or those that speak another language other than English. If there were a convenient store, I would stop shopping at Hobby Lobby

Disappointed in customer service and the manager during recent visit to purchase yarn on sale for 30% off ALL yarn. I asked a very sweet lady in that dept if a box set of yarn was included she said yes. The cashier called her and got confirmation, and said sorry, it was her mistake, but to let me have it because she had told me it was. but the cashier told her front end supervisor who yelled NO! It's not, then called the store director and told her, and was told NO its not. I walked out after telling the two up front to keep my basket full of stuff. I'll go to Michael's. I only gave more than 1 star for the sweet lady who works back in that department, who sadly will probably get the blame. I'd give zeros to the two girls up front and the manager who allowed this kind of customer service. I worked in public 40 years old school ways...keep customer happy so they will come back again. The signs hanging up says ALL YARN 30% off. No mention of any exclusions. My daughter was so angry about it, she almost took her $51 yarn purchase back for a refund. Guess Hobby Lobby Abilene can afford to lose customers. Very disappointing shopping trip after driving 25 miles to shop with granddaughter who loves to crochet. I called corporate and got an apology. That's all.

I bought a small glass cube and didn't notice that one corner was badly chipped. I was in a hurry to make a gift for a friend and quickly etched it only to notice the chip. I understand since it was etched H.L. may not accept the return but the manager (I'm assuming she was the manager) in the Attleboro, MA store said they couldn't accept it because it was etched but didn't answer me when I asked, would you re-sell it if I just returned it damaged? If the store is returning to the manufacture because of the damage, would the etching really be an issue? Anyway, I rarely shop at H.L. I prefer Michael's and really miss AC Moore.

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.

people at the 800 # for customer service are useless. I was having an issue placing an online order on their site as it kept saying there is a problem please check back later. Two hours later same thing and no help from them. I purchased elsewhere

I ordered 4 yards of fabric to make curtains…I received one piece that was just over 3 yards, and a second piece that was just over 1 yard. I sent and email to customer service and got “sorry, we understand the importance of getting one continuous piece. Here’s a return label if you want to return it.” Poorest customer service…apparently retuning it to a store not an option? Making it right not an option? To mail it back is a hassle…buy something to ship it in, pack it, drive to PO…hardly worth it for a $20.00 purchase….

High prices except when on sale. Website ordering is a joke,, they advertise free shipping in their banner,, then later in small print it tells you it is actually free only with $59 purchase. Website is hard to navigate. I used to stop by every week,, but since stopping their 40% coupons, I rarely go there, instead use Michael's or other online stores.

Every time I pick out a project using Honey Bee yarn you discontinue it in the middle of my project. Very aggravating.

You would think that Hobby Lobby would get with the program and install bar code scanners. I feel so bad for the employees having to try and remember what’s on sale each week and having to group items trying to make ringing up items easier. It never fails that I get overcharged for sale items every EVERY time I shop there. Now that you’ve gotten rid of coupons and insist on the dinosaur cashier ways I’m taking my business elsewhere. Care more about your employees and customers for a change!

I have been a florist for 25 years and I am in possession of a TAX ID number issued by the state of Indiana. I picked up a satin wedding pillow and was told that the document could not be used and that it was necessary to fill out one of theirs...fine, it was the same document I've filled out many times before in many different retail stores. I agreed to fill one out expecting to return for other items in the future but was told I was not allowed to fill out theirs and I had to come up with one of my own!!! REALLY??? These are the documents retail stores give to tax exempt customers to obtain a card for future use. They acted as though these 'copies' cost them money! Despite my tax exempt status, I was charged the sales tax. I will NOT be returning to do future business.

Very expensive. Long lines. Employees can't answer questions. Got rid of 40 percent coupon. Back to Michael's.

Items are great, customer service not so great! Saw a shelf that had broken part and asked if I could get a discount, the lady said no cause they can just fix it there themselves but then never even offered to have it fixed and made me pay full price for a broken item.

Cashier rang up an item and said is that it? As I was still unloading the cart, I let that go. I bought 3 clocks, a mirror, and home decor. She did not wrap any of the items!! She had the packing paper right there on the counter. I also had to ask her to put items in a bag! She was too busy chatting with 2 other cashiers and ready to go. There was also a woman and her adult son behind me in line- with no masks on in Minnesota! No more coupons emailed to me is also disappointing.

Hard bummer that Hobby Lobby no longer does the weekly 40% off coupon. That was the main reason I always chose Hobby Lobby over the other craft stores.

Hobby lobby states that they took their 40% coupon away so that they can have prices on other items be more reasonable but the past two times i have been there the items i have wanted to purchase were not on sale and were full price with no discounts. I looked on amazon and can get those same items for at least $7 cheaper, and that adds up when you are wanting several of that item. I unfortunatley walked out both times without purchasing anything and i guess im going to have to shop at amazon now for my craft supplies because without some sort of coupon or discount the prices are just way too high compared to many online websites. The discounts at least make it seem a little more reasonably priced and i can justify that kind of spending in my mind. I love hobby lobby and used to go there all the time but i just cant see doing it when the prices are significantly higher than i would have to pay to shop elsewhere...plus have it shipped to my house for free. It is really disappointing.

This is only for the S Lamar, Austin, TX location. I first called to ask if they had a certain size of a sketchbook I had bought in a smaller size before. The woman in the art department on the phone was so abrupt and clearly showed that she had no interest in helping me. I asked if they had the size they usually have and she said no, and that's all. I could tell she was lying, so I went to the store and found what I was looking for, no thanks to her. After finding what I wanted, I needed help in finding something else that I thought the framing department would be able to assist me with. I walked past the door where the employee was working in the back. I stood at the counter waiting, until I realized he wasn't going to come out and help me. So I went over and asked him for help. He huffed, like actually huffed, and said, "no, we don't have that." And I asked if he had anything similar or something he thought might work as well, and said, "nope." It's hobby lobby, of course you have SOMETHING. Anyway, I was frustrated with the two laziest employees at Hobby Lobby today because usually I love that place. The only reason I gave it 2 stars and not 1 is for that reason, and also because of the nice cashier woman at the front. P.S. I'm not a Karen, nor one in the making. I'm a Gen Z artist who loves happy people and colorful things. It's just frustrating when grumpy people make something that could be so simple, difficult.

The wedding invitation templates are not user friendly. Even with selecting the correct invitation, the print did not line up like it was supposed to. The rsvp’s were worse. Ending up winging it. Took way too much time.
