Walmart's stock prices went down 7 of the last 8 quarters. I am convinced it happened when they started making quilters/sewers/crafts people mad by taking out the fabric depts & we retaliated by not shopping there any more. Why go there-the rest of what they sell can be bought at Target's & Mejer's. It took them 2 yrs to figure it out. We tryed to tell them with our letters, calls, & petitions. It took them 2 yrs to figure out the CUSTOMER is always right! Maybe we'll all get our fabric depts. back. We'll just have to wait & see how serious they are about keeping their customers happy. Then maybe if we boycott some of the other stores, they'll lower their prices to something more reasonable & absorb some of the cost of cotton themselves.
