The thing with Michaels is there are a lot of products that are nicer to experience in offline instead of online. For electronic components I'm not sure that's the case. I know very little about electronics but I would much rather go to adafruit.com and look at tutorials, specs, etc. and then order. I personally don't need any sort of tactile feel or quality control on breadboard compared to if I'm buying yarn to knit something.

Many people, mostly but not only! women, tend to really really care what pillows look and feel like. I think the only reason Amazon works here, is the crazy free return shipping. But still, how is that the same?? I don't care about pillows, but I know if I did, I'd want to choose! To touch! To see how fluffy, how they look.. Hrm. Maybe I am harbouring an unknown pillow fetish. Anyway, I don't get it either. If Michael's can't survive, can anything?
- bombcar 3y agoBloodbath and beyond was just insanely overpriced. Kohls is surviving because they have billions of coupons, but they also are encroaching on things like BB&B sold. They were finally killed in my opinion by the wedding registry options at other stores getting better. Michael’s survives by having way more art supplies than other places and people who do art wanting it NOW and not later.
