Frustrated with chain qs in my area
#21
When you have disappointing shopping experiences and refuse to go back, be sure to let the store know! Maybe not the local chain manager, but go to the website and send corporate an email. They can't change or improve if they don't know why customers leave.
Just a thought - not that I follow my own advice! LOL

I have gotten some really fine fabrics at Hobby Lobby, mostly with clearance fabrics for $1 or $2 a yard. It happens when I get there the day they put the fabrics out. Hasn't happened for a while, but I am not visiting them as often! :?

on the other hand, a budget is a budget is a budget. so if you can't get as much - or any at all - because the prices go up it feels just as bad as it would if those prices were the same everywhere.
i sympathize with everybody who wonders where the next quilt will come from. :?

Joanns has doubled the price of packaged batting in the last year.
What I used to pay less than 10 for is now over 17 dollars. That is twin size 80/20. They have really raised prices on everything. Even plastic containers that used to be 3 went to 5 etc. etc.
I now do most of my shopping online, it is more reasonable.

While I have had a similar experience I try to keep in mind that it's not the person in the shop's fault. Perhaps writing to the company would help more?
Just an observation on how kindness needs to be passed along.

Please don't take your frustrations out on the employees; they are not the ones who bundle the fat quarters. The fat quarters are cut and assembled who knows where? The local store merely stocks them. Perhaps if enough of us complained to the corporate level things might change. And while it may seem like they don't care, I suspect that most of them do, and are probably not very well compensated for the work that they do. Working in the retail world, I have received more than my share of complaints for things that I have no control over and it is not pleasant.
