The other place barely looks at new customers,says nothing & acts like it's a pain to leave their 3 ppl gab fest to cut fabric.The clerk then asked if I wanted the fabric in a sack? HUH ? No...I wanted to carry it out on a windy,snowy day.Guess which one I won't visit again.They obviously don't need my money.
I am sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. But I would like to address the no sack question.
I work at a LQS and we ask everyone if they would like a bag? We call is "going green" If they say no to a bag we then give them a slip of paper and tell them that we will enter their name in a monthly drawing for a $20.00 gift certificate. Most of our customers love the idea.
