I try to be nice to the guests, they do help make my paycheck. I get customers that come back only on the days that I work. I'm a quilter and can help with their choices of fabric and layouts of their quilts. We do have workers that have never sewn a day in their life and that's where a lot of the problem lies. Not enough help is probably the bigest problem though. Small wages and lots of work that makes it hard to get everything done.
I cannot count the number of hours I was on the sales floor ALONE at my JoAnn's, nor the number of missed meals due to cuts in staff hours. I did love my customers (most of them LOL) but the stress was brutal.
