    because Joann Fabric doesn't hire enough staff. I refuse to tell customers to put on a mask. Have you seen the news where people have been attacked for asking customers? it is not worth the pay i get and worth my life to approach customers. we can't even approach shoplifters or we are fired.

If the customer does not have one they are offered one. Why can't Joanne Fabrics do the same? If I walk into your store and light up a cigarette or enter without shoes or a shirt I would be asked to leave. Why can't you do the same for people refusing to wear a mask.

    I recently (within the last 6 weeks) ordered yarn for an afghan I wanted to make from JoAnn Fabrics. The yarn was fine and the afghan is finished, but the shipping time was less than acceptable. FedEx, which I paid for regular ground delivery, took weeks to come. In tracing the shipment, it went to some of the FedEx locations twice, back to another one that it had already been to, round and round. Once it got to the Post Office, delivery was the next day. But the shipment would sit in a FedEx location for days and then go someplace else to sit again and back and forth. Never had this problem before. Three days ago I wanted more yarn to do another afghan and could not find the colors I wanted from JoAnn Fabrics so I ended up getting the order from Michael's. It is due to be delivered today. And the shipping was free. Not saying the shipment problem was a fault of JoAnn Fabrics, but next time I need yarn I think Michael's would be my first choice to look. Just wanted to pass this information on.

I think everyone on this site needs to work for this company for a week to understand it is not us workers that are causing your issues with orders. and stop taking it out on us. we do not make the ads...we do not make the coupons. we do not make the sales. we do not control stock. we have no idea when we will be getting sewing machines in. the ads are printed several weeks and years in advance...no one decided a pandemic would happen... we have no idea bout your online order, online is controlled separately from store level. it's so nice to be the only cashier when you have a line of about 15 angrily growing customers because you have ONLY 3 IN THE STORE. and for those of you who like to take your time in line just makes it worse on us workers.

I will never shop there and nor will anyone in my family. The training there is horrible.

    Last week I had an excellent experience with an associate in San Leandro ,CA. Her name is Jacky.

    She went above and beyond to locate a special fabric for me.

    I had Just come from the JoAnn store in Fremont CA. where an associate there said they did not have enough people to help an individual customer to find a fabric. That they are all assigned to specific tasks.(Busy as I felt she was implying)

    Jacky did not hesitate to help me. She searched and all the while having a great attitude.

    My background is a retired Manager from a Department store.

    I believe in great customer service And great feed back as well. This associate is a valuable asset.

    There is an employee at your Winston Salem NC store that is mean. I don't know her name but she is overweight. I watched her ignore a young cashier when she was begging for backup as she stood and chatted with her "church friends" and rolled remnants instead of helping her get the line down up front . I felt so sorry for the cashier as she really needed help up front. Every time I go into this store and this employee is working, I always make an effort to avoid her. She seems mean, and has a problem with authority and refuses to help. I watched her throw fabric down and walk off to leave at the cut counter because the customer refused to understand...you do not walk off and refuse to help. She butted into a conversation I was having with my favorite cashier about a subject she knew like the back of her hand. I didn't appreciate that and thought it was rude. Every time I go there when she is working, she always treats her coworkers poorly.

    It was awful for us employees. Customers were taking the kits for themselves and their families so we quit doing the kits. It took hours to make supply, and no one was returning them... we went through a group that was making them and donating them here. EVERYTHING IS IMPORTED FROM CHINA.

    Dear Mr. Miquelon,

    My name is Jackie Fox from Olney, Maryland and today, over the phone, I had the pleasure of dealing with a lovely customer service lady Naylin C. I had requested an invoice emailed to me, for a purchase of yarn, which I made over the phone weeks ago. I needed to return the yarn to my local store in exchange for some other yarn. She emailed me my invoice right away and her email didn't go into my junk mail either. Naylin C. was AWESOME!!

    You have an exceptional customer service lady here and I hope she is being treated right and paid accordingly.

    I have always loved Joann Fabrics and this experience has made things even better.

    Thank you for your time and recognition to this awesome lady!!!!!!!

    Kindest Regards......

    It was a wonderful thing Joanne Fabric stores did earlier in the year with the cloth face masks, collecting them, sewing them, donating them, etc, it was really a boast to everyone's moral at a time we really needed it. But yesterday, I forgot my mask when I went out and ran into a Joann Fabric store to purchase one and all the masks they had were made in CHINA!! Really folks. You should be ashamed of yourselves with all your "hero" talk and collecting masks that you did, there are hundreds of American companies making masks and struggling to survive and you not only import masks but import cheap **** from CHINA???? I'll never set foot in another one of your stores again

    Don't do it, even it says product available, they may cancel it from your order.

    I ordered a complete bolt - not only to keep them from cutting it into pieces, but because I needed a bolt, and they canceled my order.

    I totally feel your frustration, I truly do, but you work for a company that has a HUGE following and could well afford to hire more employees - in all areas - to assist with this break down that is literally destroying itself from the inside out!

    I have been a #1supporter of Joanns for over 40 years, and I consider myself a pretty patient, considerate person, but even I have reached my breaking point with Joann.com as well as my local unit.

    Yes, we are experiencing a pandemic ~ tell that to my other fabric suppliers of whom I have NO PROBLEM receiving my orders - as placed, in a very timely manner.

    I was in Jo-Ann's today. Went for 4 basic, but much needed, sewing supplies for a gift that I'm working on. Not only did the store not have any of these items, I was told that they no longer carried 3 out of the 4 and didn't know when the one item would be in stock. It used to be that you could go into Jo-Ann's and find just about anything you needed for sewing. Not anymore! For years now, common sewing supplies are being cut from inventory. Instead we have toys, clothing, finished merchandise for sale, bins full of inferior products, soap, candy, stuffed animals and fleece everywhere you look. Instead of doing a poor job trying to cover such an unrelated list of merchandise why don't you go back to doing a good job of carrying fabric and crafts.

    How many deaths and how many infected people does it take for you to open your eyes to the reality of this deadly virus? Because of people like you this virus is going to be around for a long, long time. You need to stand on your own, look at the world around you and think for yourself.

    you ever worked retail? you ever gotten screamed at over something that is not your fault? that is what these UNDERPAID employees go through EVERY DAY. IT IS NOT THE EMPLOYEES FAULTS THAT YOUR FABRIC GOT CANCELLED.. it is the company itself. I personally have had no problems online ordering. do you not realize they have practically nothing in the stores because of COVID? because everything is sent from overseas? it's hard to concentrate on customers if we can't get shipments. by the way, I used to work for them and had to leave for personal reasons.
