As previously stated: it depends on the store.
I have lived near three: first one was awesome, the second was horrible, current is in the middle.
I had a treat last weekend as DH took me to the Fabric Hut (1/2 hour away). They carry over 6,000 bolts of quilting fabric!
Yes, the common is in the right place! I needed a tissue for the drool (which they had on the front counter!)
Then DH said "I'll be back in a couple of hours" and handed me $100.00 for early Mother's day from him and the kids.
Heaven!
