I had an experience similar to this at JoAnns about 3 months ago. I was too lazy to go through my totes of fabrics and wanted to piece a quilt top so I went to Joanns (3 miles from my house). I picked out 19 bolts of batiks at $8.99 a yard. There was only one other customer in the store and when I went to the cutting table and started laying the bolts out to make sure I had all the colors I needed the lady at the cutting table was cutting 1/4 yard for the other customer. Now the cutting tables are pretty big and 1/4 yard doesnt take up much room and the employee looked at me and said "could you move those bolts" I apologized and slid them to the very end and she looked at me and huffed and then knocked the 5 bolts that I had on the cutting table to the floor. Needless to say I was very upset. When I dug through the cart to get my book and purse and she realized that I was going to leave she started to apologize and said if I could just give her 5 minutes she would be right with me. Well I just looked at her and politely said thats okay I can go to Fields they probably won't mind helping me and taking my money. I went to Fields and thier batiks were only $6.99 a yard and they had a bigger selection i bought a total of 36 yards. My sister says she has had the same problem with this shop so neither of us will ever go back there.
