I went to the LQS yesterday for border fabric for a quilt I am making for my DH. I used CW fat quarters for the quilt. I was having a hard time finding something matching without a floral pattern. The clerk came up and I told her what I was looking for. She asked if I was putting it between the blocks and I so no, just a border, not sashings. She looked at me and said (in a tone that said how stupid are you?), "Are you putting the border between the blocks or not?". Just then I saw what I needed and just said, I will take 2 yards of this. So, my question is am I wrong?

Customer service is just not what it used to be in a lot of stores. My current pet peeve - when the clerk hands me the wrong thing and I politely correct them. Then they say "you said such-and-such". I know what I said and why would I ask for something I didn't want? Why not say "sorry, I misheard you"? Makes me mad everytime.

Just think if it was you & had never sewn in your life!! BUT GOT A JOB(much needed)doing something way out of your safety zone??? Lots of stores are hiring people w/no experience. Take the time to help them don't lose your patience. Not saying this clerk didn't need a 101 customer service class.
