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.
I'm with you. Yes the assistant should be friendly but I like to think that I have a brain of my own and can look for myself. The worst thing is to have someone following you around while trying to shop.I know where the assistant is if I need help I don't need someone falling all over me.
Ok guys, I'm sure all of us here agree that we can shop by ourselves, but when you ask for help and someone says "no", there is definitely a problem. And whatever happened to common courtesy of saying "hello"??
