The register didn't want to recognize the coupons some of the customers were using.
I was so disappointed. But there isn't any other fabric store close by since WalMart did away with fabric. The next closest store is 30 minutes away.
If I ever win the big money from the lottery, I'm going to quit my job and I want to open a full blown fabric store.
When you open your store you have to let all of us know.
The one bad experience I had with a lady cutting fabric was when there was a long line...it must have been a big sale or around Christmas time....and when she finished the customer she was waiting I went to her to cut the fabric and she told me to get back in line. She was working on remnants and not waiting on people even though there was a long line. I was sooo upset I told the manager and I have not seen her since.
I agree that the service and selection is not what it used to be and, for that matter, neither are the sales or coupons. Many times I have gone there to use a 40% off coupon hoping to find something I just had to have now but I usually walk out with nothing.
I can usually find the same fabric online for a lot less.
