JoAnn's was EMPTY this morning!

The checkout lady at Wal-Mart today said, "It is so QUIET today!" I think the same thing as others, that people are waiting until Friday. It's going to be madness!

The fist full of coupons was burning a hole in my hand, but I resisted. We made a trip out to get toner, could just have well ordered on-line, because the store was out too. Spent my quarterly budget at quilt shows and LQS sales last month. On a diet until the first of the year. ()

I went into Joanns yesterday for the first time in a very long time.....and to my extreme surprise the whole store had been done over! Everything was in a different place, but I didn't care, I'd find it, and it would be easy, the aisles were wider and not cluttered with all kinds of stuff as it had always been before, the displays were very nice and easy to see what you wanted, and at the cutting table you pulled a number and when they came to your number, they announced it over an intercom and your number showed all lit up on a box hanging from the ceiling. NO more lines of women jockeying for a better place in line. No line at all!...when you hear your number you go to the cutting table with your fabric to be cut! WONDERFUL. All the salespersons had been replaced...hooray... and everyone was especially helpful and pleasant.....WOW. What a pleasant surprise. I just might start going back to Joanns for things!

I went to that same new Joann in Marketplace Fair last Friday and was VERY disappointed in the amount of quilting fabric it had. I thought it had tons of clothes and craft fabric but was scant on cotton. What did you think of it?
I didn't get a 60% off coupon wahhhh ... They just open a new super sized joanns and closed the smaller one by my house and it has been a mad house in there. I miss my small one. Would have preffered driving long distances to get to the big one so as to not deal with the crowds.

Didn't have a 60% coupon and don't care... the way they "work" the system and us, I have lost interest in JoAnn's. Our local one has made mistakes (which luckily I caught before walking out the door), told me I couldn't use one of my coupons (even tho' it was a different "scan code") and then wouldn't let me use my VIP card (10% off all). I sure don't feel like a VIP anymore... of course that changes with whomever is on the register... I might try some other JoAnns, but the one nearest to Amherst Ohio is for the birds.
