Actually the stores in Stanislaus County, California such as the Turlock, and Ceres wal-mart have hired and are training new people in the fabric dept. Had heard when the remodeling came it would widdle out the fabs. Turlock's store has more to choose from. Thery have a $1.50 a yard table and even have been putting flannel in the selection now. A neighbor said Modesto supposedly has a good selection. Tho I am not buying at the moment I DO like to look when I have to get pet supplies or t.p. So I will assume since they are training more people for this dept, they are not planning to get rid of it.
