We all have a bad day once in a while I suppose...but if I was having an 'iffy' day & ran into that clerk, I probably would have felt the way you did! I find that if I smile first, I do get a better response...usually :wink:
The JoAnn's I go to most is close to work & the ladies there are all great to me. I think I have the most fun with a young lady who has multiple piercings & tatoos, but is always so personable, helpful & fun to talk to! She actually takes an interest in what it is I'm going to make with the fabrics I buy.
There are also several quilt shops near, so I have a choice. I've always had good luck there too.
Really, guess it mostly depends on what I'm making and how close to payday it is! LOL
