I come back to find her still picking out fabric. She has now been in the dept for over an hour. But her buggy is FULL!
She comes up to the cutting table and we start talking. She has selected fabric for 4 small quilts she has patterns for.
After cutting anywhere from 1/4 yard to 6 1/4 yards from the 42 bolts she had selected..... I had the honor of figuring out where all the bolts went! We are in the middle of receiving a TON of new fabrics so not all have a real home yet. I have put most of the new ones up so sort of knew where they belonged.
I was just glad I was the one there to cut it all for her and to be able to put it away! Anyone else would have had a cow and complained about it.
Just another wonderful part of my job in the fabric dept of WM.

I don't know at which Walmart you work, but I wonder if it's mine in Abilene, TX. Most times I am there it's one or two ladies cutting who are just the nicest, friendliest and helpful people. And just so you know, it is very appreciated that you are so patient, friendly and helpful. Those attributes are sometimes hard to find in this busy world and mean a lot. Many thanks.
