Gosh, you are everybody's dream clerk. Good for you for giving her the freedom to do her choosing which can be a daunting job. How wonderful of you to have such patience. You deserve a raise & you may let your boss know I said so. LOL

I come back to find her still picking out fabric. She has now been in the dept for over an hour. But her buggy is FULL!
She comes up to the cutting table and we start talking. She has selected fabric for 4 small quilts she has patterns for.
After cutting anywhere from 1/4 yard to 6 1/4 yards from the 42 bolts she had selected..... I had the honor of figuring out where all the bolts went! We are in the middle of receiving a TON of new fabrics so not all have a real home yet. I have put most of the new ones up so sort of knew where they belonged.
I was just glad I was the one there to cut it all for her and to be able to put it away! Anyone else would have had a cow and complained about it.
Just another wonderful part of my job in the fabric dept of WM.

Phyllis you are a gem in the crown!
Wow! I couldn't get that from any LQS where I shop.
You truly understand both the meaning and the spirit of customer service, and you have gone 100% beyond it.
May your good deeds all come back to you in the way which would most benefit you.
