I think the Wal Marts in our area lost fabric sales because they got rid of the "tiny bells" and if you wanted fabric cut you had to go to auto dept. and they would announce on the speaker that someone should go to fabrics. Then that person who had been busy doing something else would come with a surly expression and often didn't know how to measure and cut and make the price sticker. Amazed me how many people didn't know fractions. They should have had my math teacher.
