great service at Joanns today!

Needed a roll of batting - looked online, saw it was on sale, but needed our church Treasurer to approve purchase... got the approval too late for sale... Received a 50% off coupon :) - looked on line - batting is $429.60 a roll... ok - with coupon, it's worth it. Fast forward... had to go to Joann's today to get some fabric for baby quilt so decided to buy a roll of batting there - instantly have it, etc. They print off a ticket - $559!! Talk about sticker shock - even with 50% coupon it's too expensive... so I called a friend to confirm online price of $429... went back told the ladies I'd not be getting it after all... OH NO! says Courtney! I won't let online get the sale - I'll fix it for you :)I asked if I could still use my 50% coupon - SURE, she says. Well... register rang it up full price - Courtney to the rescue - then the coupon would not work - after paying for the whole deal I realized the coupon was for a two yard piece of fabric and not the batting - Courtney called back to the front of the store - long(er) story short - I recieved the two yards at half price, I get the batting with no tax charged PLUS that tax added onto a gift card for Joanns - money returned - yes, I have to spend it there BUT I did get 40 yards of 90" batting for $214.!!!! I'd say that's a good deal - with 8.00 of free fabric to boot AND the $14. tax thrown in -

WOW! That is a good deal! I just wish that they would hire people that sew at my Joanns. Sometimes I have to ask a question about something, and they have NO idea.
I went in one time, and a lady was wanting to buy a sewing machine for her DGD to learn to sew on, but no one could help her. They couldn't even explain how each are different or anything. I ended up helping her pick out a basic, easy to learn sewing machine.

As far as her good service, it's so nice to hear stories like that.
