I pay a few cents more and shop the Piggly Wiggly, where they smile and are mostly pretty nice!
I have to say that I get great service at my local Jo-Ann's - one of my neighbors works in their fabric department :thumbup: I also know the staff in the Viking Gallery there pretty well and they are awesome.
I do visit most of my LQS's on a regular basis also. I am almost spoiled for choice - there are at least seven LQS's within 20 miles of my house! I guess that is one benefit of having a large retirement community :-D
