When i buy fabric I do expect to pay for what I want - but I was rather shocked when a LQS that I would go to on a fairly regular basis was going to charge me for the full price on the 3 extra inches left at the end of the bolt. Really? 1/12th of a yard? I almost asked who they shorted to get that small of an amount. I politely declined and started going elsewhere after that. Up until that point I was in there at least once a month for some reason or another. I even bought a large machine from them - but that just ticked me off. It was only $.75 or $1.00 - I am sure they made much more than that on all the fabric I was buying that day, and if it was the only piece of fabric I was buying that day it probably would not have set me off, put I was buying quite a bit and then to pull that just got to me.
