I haven't read the thread, but ...
One of our LQS's has aisles that are so narrow that I can barely get my wheelchair down them. I'm constantly worrying about knocking things over. Two people can't even squeeze past each other. Ugh! Bad thing is, they've got a whole front section of the store where they sell home decor-type items. Granted, I don't stay in the store for hours at a time watching people, but I rarely see people shopping in that section. Seems to me that they'd be better off moving some of their fabric there, allowing more room for people to walk around. But whadda I know? ;)
The same store often has sale signs that are very confusing, such as one big display of fabric that's got three differently-priced signs on it. The cashiers are friendly enough, but even they get confused on the prices.
Sometimes DH does my shopping, if he's already out near the store. Most of the time the cutters and cashiers are nice to him, but sometimes they're lukewarm. I guess the idea of a guy buying fabric is "weird" to them. :roll: I've mentioned it before, but at a local sewing machine store, the woman wouldn't even wait on him, even though he had cash money in his pocket. She just shoved a brochure towards him, and that was it. The store was overpriced anyway, so it was just as well, but whew she was rude! :thumbdown:
Reasonable prices are also a "must". :)
