They are ruining their fabric dept. by taking out the bolts and selling the little packaged yardage. Yuck. I don't want to buy fabric that way! I know it phases out the need for an actual employee to cut the fabric, as you can never find one anyway. If they want to have a good fabric dept. they need a designated staff person to stay in that dept. and service the customers. All the time.
Or, they could do like Ikea and have self service fabric cutting, where you write down the price and amount on a tag and take it to the register.
