Jo-Ann Fabrics Employees
#12
We had a Jo-Ann fabric an hour away at a mall. Below the mall was The Piece Goods shop--knowledgeable, helpful staff and 98% of the merchandise sewing-related. They closed. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
The mall Jo-Ann's was 2/3 sewing related. Staff, mostly, snotty and inclined to gossiping with each other.
For example: I stopped one evening at a silk flower sale outside the door and picked a load for my students to use making Mothers' Day gifts. Their total was way over my total--I pointed out the difference and they said "Oh, that sale was over yesterday." I could have pushed it because of the sale sign on the display but I left the flowers and then I left. Who needs to deal with snippy sales people? They're gone now, too.

my experiences with JoAnn employees have all been very good. I used to live in Akron Oh and the employees at all 3 locations I shopped were customer oriented - never an issue on getting what I paid for. I now live in Las Vegas and only have 1 location to shop but, again, the employees are great.

i do understand, i did work for joanns at one time, but let me tell you, most people that work there now DO NOT sew..so they have no clue as to how much a yard is, or 3/4 even, it is a sad state when you have to watch everyone like a hawk, but if you have to, you have to. I would definately call the manager and let them know, this isnt the first time you have been cheated..i wish you luck,

I don't have problems at Joann's. But at Hancock Fabrics they don't have anything on the table to guide their cuts, and some of their scissors are really dull. Eyeballing a straight line over 22" is difficult! I only buy fabric there if it's a really good sale, and I always get at least an extra 1/8 yd, to make up for the wonkiness of the cut.
