i think that may be a good thing but ONLY if the shop owner knows about it in advance and wants the critique. to just take it upon yourself to judge how someone does business (behind their back) may not be taken well, no matter how (good) your intentions may have been. some shops may really appreciate such input, but others maybe not so much

In this economy, you better have a good staff or you will lose business. With the costs going up, I want very good customer service. I don't care if you have every bolt of wonderful fabric, if the staff isn't friendly, you will lose sales.
Maybe we should send out "secret shoppers" to these local quilt shops and post reviews. I would say you have to visit twice in order to be fair. Then let the store know we will be posting our results on this board. Give them a copy of what we liked and didn't like. Tell the stores somebody will be back in a month to see if things changed and then the review will change.
Think it would work?! LOL
