Hobby Lobby tries to promote a Christian holier than thou image. What a farce!Fact: Everything in Hobby Lobby is made by people earning near-slave wages in 3rd world countries. Other than a few name-brand artist items, everything else is designed to break/fall apart and be tossed in a dumpster within 3 years. Garbage.
Can I give 0 stars?This company took a case to the United States Supreme Court over providing reproductive healthcare to their employees. Their homophobic hiring practices and products made thru slave labor make this a terrible company to support.
If I could give zero stars I would! I have been to hobby lobby 4 times twice in Clackamas OR and twice in Vancouver WA 3 out of the 4 times I visited the store after browsing the aisles for a few minutes I noticed that 2 or more employees are not so discreetly following me, then they begin discussing me and "my shopping habits" for others to hear as well as myself embarrassing me to the point that I leave. This last time they actually had the nerve to take and hide the shopping cart I was using with all the items I was going to purchase, as well as had the employee that was following me go into the bathroom with me! When I came out of the bathroom and asked the manager where my basket was she acted like she had no idea what I was talking about so I asked for the other manager and he came and said well one of the employees must have put it away thinking it was go backs.. I was in the restroom for 90 seconds at best. I said well could you please fetch the basket back so I may pay and leave. He commented there was no way for them to know what I had and retrieve it all back I said there is no way they put it all back by now. Then again they acted like they had nothing to do with taking the basket. Then I said you know what screw it I'm gonna leave because I just wasted over an hour carefully selecting the items I wanted to buy to decorate my new apartment. to have you act like children because you don't like the way I look. Then the man had the nerve to ask me what was in my bags ie my purse and my reusable shopping bag to which I showed him and proved that I wasn't a thief. I asked him if he was F**ing satisfied then he kicked me out of the store saying I wasn't welcome there or at any other Hobby Lobby in the world! Mind you I have proven I did nothing wrong. They hid my things like children in grade school then pretended they didn't do it accused me of stealing I prove them wrong and I am punished... I'm sorry but why do I have to leave without the items I wanted to buy when I have done nothing wrong then he threatens me with the police if I and I quote " Ever step my no good lying, thieving self into a Hobby Lobby ever again." I said great my husbands a cop I'd be glad for you to call them, and I told him to get a clue. He then had the nerve to say God Bless you to me. Even if I was a religious person or not that was a completely inappropriate time to say this to someone. He said it like I was possessed by a demon because I'm brown.
Transparent price gouging -- you know what your buying at 50% is what the product is actually worth. They double the price then says it 1/2 off. Yes many retailers do this -- I also think they are crappy retailers too. Went to check out the Christmas 50% off sale in November. Do you remember Garland - sparkly stuff - they are selling it at an outrageous price for a mere 6feet -- you would need to spend $40-50 to go around full size tree. Yes they had lots of options and a well organized Christmas area, but just knowing the supposed 1/2 price is the the real value rubs my sense of fair play and who likes letting someone "get over on you"? No one.
Their buyers typically have me pegged. My husband and I joke that the buyers in charge of stocking the store typically have me pegged. Sometimes I go in and have little interest in a bunch of stuff, but most of the time there's a treasure to be found. Love their holiday florals and wreaths in particular.
I was irrate when they told me they would not checke out if I wasn't wearing a face covering. Every Governor mandate in the country allows exemption of wearing masks for medical reasons, which I have. They didn't care. I will take my business elsewhere.
