When our local WM discontinued fabric several years ago, I emailed the CEO and thanked him for saving me money. Told him I'd been in the habit of dropping by WM several times a week to get a yard or two or fabric and usually spent $75 or more on other things every time I went in. Told him that since they'd discontinued fabric I'd only been in the store once that month. Guess other people did the same thing. Last year they posted their first ever quarterly loss. Think this would have made them sit up and think. LOL
