"is there a discount?" I say.

"No," comes the reply.

Then why would I buy more than I asked for???

Such a dumb policy.
JOann's always tells me there's "so much" left and you can have it for 50% off. I always take it. They do that because if it is left all they do is put it in the scrap bins. So I also go around the store and find those that have 2yds or less and get the deals. teehee. Takes time but hey....if it works.
