I was recently in the Racine WI store. In line at the register to check out. Had over $100 in items to purchase. Wrote out my check and since over $100 the young female clerk needed manager approval. The male manager came over and stated due to my hand writing his bank would not accept my check. I thought it was legible but he was making such a fuss in front of the other customers . I printed in words not numbers again under the line on the check he said was ineligible. Again he said it was not good enough. Embarrassed, upset and flustered, I told him he could keep the merchandise and I took my check back. I called the store hours later and asked to speak to the manager. Low and behold it was a different manager. He said he heard about my situation that occurred when he was on lunch. I shared with him I have an autoimmune disease that can cause my joints to become inflamed. All that day at other stores my checks were not refused or my handwriting questioned. Because someone has a disability you cannot see does not mean its not there. A Christian Company? If I was elderly, in a wheelchair, or had a cast on, or looked different they would probably have been more understanding.
I don't think I or anyone else should have to wear a sign that Announces I have a disability at Hobby Lobby to have them think twice before embarrassing, humiliating, and making anyone feel handicapped. Will never shop at Hobby Lobby again, and will continue to share my horrible experience with this company.
