When the local Walmart here put the fabric on sale to get rid of it, it started at 50% to get it gone fast. I happened to be in the fabric dept early early that morning. The fabric employees said they weren't allowed to call anyone to tell them of the clearance (stupid Walmart rule) and they didn't know if the truck would be there that night or the next to get what wasn't sold. The clerks were blindsided with the closing of the fabric dept and were upset no one knew. I whipped out my cell phone and called my guild members and others that I knew relied on Walmart for notions and fabric. In less then an hour the dept was full of everyone I knew and many they called along the way. The store manager rudely asked one of the employees how so many knew about the sale so early. Every woman customer started telling him off about trying to keep it quiet after all the money they spent there! It didn't take him long to get back to his office out of sight.
