I like when they have a little rolling step/stool you can perch on when browsing low shelves. I get dizzy otherwise. I like to be acknowledged on arrival and if I ask for advice I like to get it. If I am not buying anything else I am almost always tempted by little ziplock bags of offcuts for small prices. I can't bear any sort of smell (even 'pleasant') in a fabric shop. I like to browse patterns and books. Like everyone else, I like variety, order cleanliness and good lighting. I also like quiet while i browse And novelty, of course.
