I know that our girls at our store have a bunch of rules they have to go by that seem to be a bit ridgid to me. Like they can't have a fan at the checkout stand for comfort even if it is their own fan. Our store has cut A/C way back and it isn't as comfortable to shop (hence the fan) They don't get a discount on fabric they buy unless they have a coupon. We do have the same people working there that have been there for years tho. It has been so hot here, in the 100's for the last couple of weeks. I've been staying home under the A/C unless I just have to go out. Saving money by staying out of the fabric stores. The last time I went to my closest Wal-Mart I needed to pick up a gift for my secret pal at quilt guild so I went to the crafts section. They didn't even have precut fabric. They had no sewing stuff at all. No gift from there. Guess I will have to shop my stash for a gift.
I am soo glad you have a great store and great people to work with-It gives me some hope.
Just to let you know I did go to columbia and they took 3 of my hobby lobby coupons on my fabric - They were all different resourses so they werent the same code-Hobby lobby will only allow one coupon per day per customer - they wont let you use two transactions -at least not here!! I had talked with the manager at the JoAnns and asked her before I went through all the trouble of picking out my fabric lol It was a very pleasant experience. I will now make the extra trip to Columbia especially on their big sales!!!
I wont even go to the topic of public restrooms - I too frequently need restrooms. I have seen my share of public restrooms lol I am kinda on the fence about it - I have seen the condition that some of the patrons leave a restroom - makes you wonder what theirs at home may look like lol
