We had a wonderful LQS here and the owner was amazing. I took classes at her store and I received EXCELLENT service from everyone, everytime I went there. She helped me pick out fabric all the time. I was so sad when she closed. Her mother was ill. Anyway, now all the other stores I go to ignore me. When I ask for help I feel like I am intruding. The last time I went into one store two ladies were working & they were eating their lunch at the same table they had fabric on display. I was disgusted. I only go back because I love two of the instructors. DH got me a gift card from there for Christmas & signed me up for a class. I need 10 yards of fabric for the quilt but I will buy that online & save the gift card for another class.
On the other hand, when we went to West Virginia I visited a quilt store in Parkersburg and I was greeted like family. :D
