Our nearest Walmart does fairly well with having someone nearby to cut fabric. Sometimes it's actually the person in that department, but often it's the guy from the sporting goods department. He can cut fabric with the best of 'em. :mrgreen: They've cut their selection down to less than half of what it was, but at least they still have some.
The next-nearest Walmart recently got rid of ALL their fabric. I'm sure they blamed it on slow sales, but I can't tell you the number of times I tried to buy fabric and couldn't get anyone to cut it for me. Going to nearby departments didn't help. They "couldn't" cut it, and the person who could was always at lunch or something. Then, half the time when you'd finally get someone to help you, they couldn't get (or didn't know how to get) the label printer to work. If they hand-wrote it on paper and pinned it to the fabric, the cashier would freak out and have to call the manager. It took FOREVER. IMO, they "shot themselves in the foot". It's a shame, too, because they had a NICE selection of fabric ... at least 4 double-sided aisles worth. :cry:
I try to buy from the nearest Walmart whenever I can (when they have what I'm looking for), but usually I end up ordering online due to their decreased selection.
