OMG!!! You are so right! Just because I'm younger and driver a H3 instead of a mini van doesn't mean I can't sew! And yes... I have tattoos too!
YES!! I get this, too, at my local quilt shop. I'm young, I have young children, I have tattoos and piercings. What I hate more than anything is I'm spoken to as if I couldn't possibly have a clue what I am talking about. I am actually more likely to drive the extra distance and go to the "big box" store (Fabric Land, here in Canada) than my LQS JUST because the staff is so friendly and helpful.
