One more thing I was thinking of... I have often wished for a quilt store that had samples of everything and who could order them for me. As an example, I have been searching for the perfect quilting tote organizer. There are so many online, but I don't know what they feel like. So, if a store could have a couple of Yazzii organizers or whatever, it would be great to be able to feel them in 3D and then order them. (Of course, I would then order using the quilt store, not go home and sneak online!)

Friendly workers, that are REALLY happy that you stopped in.
Lots of samples, large and small projects.

They also have a punch card. Once a year, you can shop and get 30% off fabrics, yarn and books/patterns if you filled up a punch card. I probably buy more, knowing I can get a good percentage off my total bill.
Love your avatar. :)

Got a fortune cookie tonight with the perfect message for this thread. For both customers and employees: "Courtesy costs nothing."
