I can certainly understand your frustration and downright anger not to be treated appropriately in Wal-Mart. There are clerks like this everywhere, even some of the nicest quilt stores around. I always wonder what's going on in their life to be so grouchy and feel sorry for them. I try (and don't always do a good job at it) to treat other people like I want to be treated. Sometimes, a well placed kind word helps.....Life is hard (especially in this recession that we are in)
