Pick up the phone and dial 0, then ask for assistance at the cutting table. It rings in to the fitting room (they answer the incoming calls) and they can page someone to come and help you. How do I know? I used to work at the fitting room before I retired.

I think the managers didn't want the fabrics back and can then tell headquarters they aren't selling much. Hoping it will be taken out. Wish I knew how to contact them and tell them why it isn't selling very well. There was a week ago a couple of workers and about three customers picking out fabrics. I turned around and the workers were gone.
They are again down sizing fabric dept. Best thing is to keep standing there and try to catch a worker to call for help.

I gave them dirty looks and then asked why they didn't want to cut when I asked for help earlier. Then the manager gave them dirty looks. Because of the wait we all got discounts.

Do not be afraid to go up front or to any employee and ask for help cutting, and if none arrives in a few minutes ask someone else or go to nearest dept. (here it is paint and sporting goods with counter and phone) and tell them you want to speak to a manager. Ours are good here and have several full time people in material and crafts.

There were enough of us who complained about their being taken out in the first place. I'm sorry you had such poor experiences. The folks at our Walmart are usually very nice and helpful.

We have a new super center in Newport, AR that has a great fabric department. I've been there twice and both times there was en employee right there to cut my fabric. Oh, and because it's 20 miles one way and 30 miles another I don't go to WalMart often like I did when I lived in the city. But when I go I seldom get out for less than $100. I am so thankful for WM fabric.
