I too watch them like hawks, they need to pay better attention to what they are doing, our time is our money. I had a gal one time so busy talking to another about her date last nite and not paying attention to what she was doing that my one yard pieces were quarter yard pieces, and i had a lot, i didn't say anything until she was done, then i asked her,"how much did i say i wanted" she said a quater of a yard and i said "no i didn't" i wanted a yard, she cut the same exact amount her fellow employee was cutting for her customer.
I told her i want someone else to cut the fabric over and not her, i said it loud enough that everyone standing around the counter had heard what i said. And she said all she had to do was cut 3/4 of each and she would be done and i yelled and said ABSOLUTELY NOT. She got the message and so did the manager.
You need to get ruff and tuff with them
