Why should other employees have a cow about it if they were the one there to service her. That's what they get paid for. I often have several bolts in my buggy for them to cut. I've never had 42 bolts in it and have never bought fabric to be cut less than two yards (well once in a while I will get one yard).
Now I'd be curious as to what type pattern she was making to have to get that many different bolts unless she is making them all different colors than I suppose that could make sense.
