There were protesters outside the store. Customers threatened to stop shopping there. The local schools were going to have to shut down there home ec classes because that is where the students and schools purchased thier needs such as thread, needles, fabric etc...
The woman told me you should have seen it and heard what was going on.
I was happy to hear this, as sometimes they do get some really nice stuff there.

Doesn't seem to matter where I am at...the 2 stores that they said were going to keep open are being slowly taken over by other pooh! They are now down to about an aisle at each store...hardly any supplies at all! I think they are slowly making it go away here...Skeat
