I told him the fabric dept. was broken, what was the point of putting the dept. back in if nobody can buy fabric when they want it. If it was a self serve dept. it would be no big deal, but this is a dept. that cannot be self serve. That by putting the fabric in the middle of the store it was easy for the associates to ignore customers there. He finally gets my fabric cut (would have walked away if it hadn't been the perfect colors) broken telxon, no telxon/printer, fire drill, I get my fabric but no price tickets on any of it.
Well bless his heart and I will be calling the store to give him kuddos, he gave it to me for free. I told him that wasn't needed just fixing the fabric dept would be enough, but he said no it was mine for nothing. Over 4 yards. He was so sweet even after taking an butt chewing and yes I did apologize for chewing him out so bad, that I realize it isn't really his fault, but a lot is what corporate sets down. He was still very sweet and he made the aggrivation right. Some of them do care.
Picture was taken with cellphone so color quality is not very good. They are all beautiful jewel tones. The square is the one they go with.
ROFL. Sounds like my Walmart and unfortunately I work there. Are they all the same? Wow. I am still stupified at how they stay in business. But yeah, the dept has two women that work there. The other part of their department is way across on the other side of the store, which has the yarn and other craft items. It makes no sense whatsoever. They get away with running us thin and frazzled, because we do need the job. Yes, dept managers run 2 and 3 departments at a time. If they are lucky, they will have an associate in their dept to help. Otherwise, it is just them and they work from 7-4pm. Then it is up for grabs on who may have the time to even go by their dept after that. Someone it making money though, they keep opening new stores.
