So, here I am, last Sunday, in our new store with the new layout...a very exciting venture for Michaels. I planned to go in completely under the radar, as I was not dressed appropriately to be in the store in the first place. No such luck.
I ended up having to introduce myself to the store manager when I asked him to ask a woman taking pictures to leave. After that, I had to let the customer service manager know that the behavior of the girl who checked me out was unacceptable (it truly was - I was embarrassed). So, that was pretty bad, but I thought to myself, no one will remember once I walk out the door.
Again.....no such luck.........
I got a phone call from HR this morning...never a good thing on a Friday, as Fridays seem to be "firing days"....(why am I so paranoid?). She told me she had had several people call her about this HUGE scrapbooking website that many of our employees and customers frequent. On it, a woman posted a link to her blog on which she posted pictures of our new store. So, if you'll scroll down to the entry from Sunday, Sept 14, there you'll see me....in all my Sunday morning glory....beautiful.
So much for incognito.

It's pretty big time though when your store's being promoted by user-generated content...
Bloggers are the new media. Congrats on the new store! And don't worry, you still looked splendid!
I love the look you are giving her right as she took the picture. And I think she was refering to you when she wrote that she was getting looks from people as she was taking pictures! Of course you look fab and seeing your momma and auntie made me miss your family. I'll be talking to you soon about our Lbk plans!!
yeah, you probably shoulda been in church that morning...what's a scrappylove anyways???
Guess that was my punishment.... Scrappylove is a blog that talented and creative scrapbookers frequent, obviously (sarcasm). It's written by a housewife who clearly has enough time to travel hours to see the new Michaels store and write a novel about the pics she took....illegally.....
you're looking at her like "gurl, take yo camera outta here." i guess they didn't know who they were messing with! the store looks fabulous!!!! great work!
