I've noticed that at JoAnn's they can't give you a thread extra. I've seen them have an inch or 1 1/2 inch at the end of a bolt & cut it off instead of just giving it to me. I questioned it & the clerk just said she has to. One clerk told me they send that extra back to the company for reimbursement. Duuuh, I must have fallen off a turnip truck to believe that.
I don't know at what amt. left that they offer the bolt end for half off.
I sure understand the LQSs having to cut it right on since every inch is $.
