A few years ago I went to a local shop that sold fabrics, now closed. I asked a young sales clerk where the velvet was, and she had absolutely no idea of what it was!! Another lady about my age and I had to explain to her what it looked like and what it felt like.
She thought about it and then waved towards the back of the store and said she thought she'd seen some "back there".
Did I mention that the store closed not too long after that?
