Many times I'm there to look at what's new. Many times I'm looking for something for a specific quilt and I know what I'm looking for.
With all that said, I do expect the employee to be friendly when they're cutting my fabric or when I do ask for assistance.
Ditto. My kids were very well behaved in quilt shops and the lqs ladies knew them by name. I went to a shop that was quite a ways away with the whole family, even DH, as we were on our way to the air force base to shop in the commissary. Well, we hadn't gone two feet into the store (3 kids and 2 parents!) when the lady who owns the place jumped down my throat and told me to keep my kids in line! I looked at her and told her, "My children are better behaved than some adults" and we left. I was steamed! They had always been nice before. I just was stunned.
