DAVID GREEN IS THE BIIGGEST HIPPOCRIT THAT HAS EVER WALKED ON GODS GREEN EARTH. BEWARE OF FALSE PROFITS
I am a gay male me and my boy friend went to hobby lobby last week, we were followed threw the whole store by the manager, never once did they ask us if we needed help, we felt so wird when all we wanted to do is by curtins I asked the manager why we were being followed he said "im just doing my job is that a problem" i told him its a problem that your following us around the store the manager claimed he was not following us around the store but walked us out to our car - to follow up on this story i called the bbb and called the head office just becuse your a chritan store dosent mean that you can turn anyone away becuse of there religon or sexual ornt why were we pin pointed out here I will never go back here again
I hate Hobby Lobby SO MUCH. Ours recently moved to a bigger, newer location and it STILL looks like a 1970's design failure. The lighting and atmosphere are depressing; the poor quality, tacky, overpriced home decor comes from sweatshops in the developing world; the store and registers are always understaffed, they are often as not out of the item I went there for in the first place...I could go on, but I'm getting mad just thinking about it. Why shop there, you ask? I try not to, but sometimes I need an item and can't get across town to a more expensive specialty store, or can't wait for an on-line order. Just hope it's not on a Sunday, cause we all know NOBODY hobbies on their day off.
we at the corporate office see ourselves as servants to the stores."
I cannot imagine that Mr. Green would approve of such un-Christian like conduct in any of his stores, and could only imagine what he might say if he knew what was going on.
organization, and I will do so.
I also feel that it is my right as a human being to not have to be subjected to such a hostile work environment, although if this situation was to change, I would LOVE my job back, and love to work for the company, if Mr. Bouillon wasn't my boss, and the company could prove to me that they were what they said the were.
In a recent interview with ChristiaNet.com, David Green shared his faith, his commitment to serving the Lord by serving his customers and employees, and his dedication to running a company that continually demonstrates the integrity of Biblical principles in everything this company does and says. When questioned about his customer service policies, Green replied that customer service was a company wide policy, and it started at the top. "Here at corporate, that's everyone's assignment." Green stated. "In fact, we say that the stores are focused on their customers and should be servants to their customers. Therefore, we at the corpora
I loved the idea of working for Hobby Lobby, and have had much needed experience to work in retail, as a framing manager, considering I held that title at another craft store, I believe I am capable for that. I feel that the work wasn't to hard, but the emotional stress, and the environment was too much for me, and many others. You don't have to take my word for it that I was a hard worker, and that the environment was hostile. Just look at your list of employees who quit, or got fired. Sure, I know some were people who couldn't handle the work, or some were people that slacked off from their job. But do you think that everyone was? I do not. Just take any of the names I gave you, and ask them.
I feel that it is my right as a Christian to obtain a peaceful protest permit, and conduct a protest on the day of the Grand-Opening. I feel that all the Christians here in this area need to know that Hobby Lobby employs almost evil people, and then claim to be a Christian-based organizatio
Christina Senton, had to take her daughter to the doctor one day, so she worked a half a day, the following day, she wasn't there until after noon, and the following day, she was also about two hours late. This employee still had a job, so why was it that when I ask for a half a day to rest, to be better for the next work day, I was berated? Is it because I am not an "attractive" woman, who wears low cut shirts like Christina and others?
I feel that this company has been completely false to the public, and to "new hire" employees. In the new employee handbook, it says, " The company believes that the overall emotional, physical, and spiritual health of the employee is essential to proper job performance and healthy living." I believe that statement is false. If the company believed in those things, then they would not hire a man like Steve Bouillon, who does nothing but hurt, curse, and cause emotional damage to his employees. How can you contradict yourself like that?

stops and picks up a case of beer, and drinks it all every night.
Later that afternoon, I was feeling very bad. Sick to my stomach, exhausted, over worked, and under appreciated. I tried to find Mr. Bouillon, which for a long time I was unsuccessful, then as he returned from outside, I asked him if it was possible if I could take the rest of the day, go home, get better, rest, and come back the next day. I told him, that I was not any use to him now. I was feeling bad, not accomplishing much, making several trips to the bathroom, and spending more time in there that I was on the floor. Very quickly, he began to be defensive, and explain to me, that everyone was over-worked and tired. Then I responded with, "Well, if it's a problem then I will just stay." He yelled to me, "Just get out!" At that point, he walked away from me very quickly, and I hadn't a clue if I was fired, or what he meant by that.
I don't really understand why I wasn't allowed to go home. Another employee, Ch
(which had been injured earlier in the day due to a glass cut). Neither of these incidents got an apology or any sign of sympathy whatsoever.
To me, even at a non-Christian oriented store, this conduct would not be tolerated and it would be dealt with very seriously.
The following morning when we arrived to the store, everyone was amazed, and talking about the incident that occurred the previous night. Everyone was shocked that an apology had never been made, or for that matter not even a sign of appreciation. A few of us continued to talk about Mr. Bouillon's appearance. He had a very "hung-over" appearance. He had on very dirty clothes, he had not shaved for what looked like two, or possibly three days. His eyes were very red, and was very violent with employees that tried to speak to him.
That very day, his step-son, Jeremy, which was there working from another store to help with the store set, made the statement to Mike Hodge, that every night on the way home Steve stop
