This was my experience last time also. I stopped her and asked her to start measuring after that inch and I would trim it myself. She was really good about it, but I think that they can get in a lot of trouble from the higher ups.
I don't have these problems at Hancock's, but they also know that I will kindly ask them to recut it.
