I would be the same way if hubby sent me to Home Depot for 3" screws.

I've discovered that asking an older customer questions will get me some of the best advice around. One of the stores now has a young guy who doesn't look old enough to shave and seems to think he knows everything, so, to save time, I let him put things in my cart and when he leaves replace them on the shelves. Older men seem to like helping older ladies who thank them charmingly..(I hope it sounds charming instead of frantic to get the heck out of there before the young helper returns).

That story is so true. Thanks for the laugh. Those wives knew what they were doing when they sent the husbands in. They ended up with fabric and a pattern. Probably would have nothing but the needles if they had gone in with them. Craze like a fox IMO.
