[/quote]The fabric dept manager is the one that orders from Walmart warehouse what to have in the fabric dept. I've seen the fabric/quilting/notion book what Walmart stocks in the warehouses. The fabric manager can order any of it. For that dept manager to act ignorant about it doesn't fly with me. I say show me in the order book where you don't have it available to order and I'll personally get in touch with the dist. manager to ask why you can't order it when the other Walmarts have it.[/quote]

I bought beautiful fabrics from a Walmart in Maine and the fabric dept manager cut it for me. That fabric dept was huge (can't remember where it was, sorry). The young lady took such pride in telling me that the district fabric warehouse person called her with some "nice cottons" she needed to move. This young lady had her send 600 bolts. She had sold most of them and they must have been wonderful because what was left was great and really inexpensive. That fabric manager was contacted because she took pride in her department and clearly made customer service a priority. She has to be making an impact on that Walmart's bottom line. Sadly, they'll probably promote her~
