I was talking to the machine technician instead of paying attention to what I was doing. I handed the clerk a pack of 5 blades for the 45mm cutter. I was in shock as my mouth dropped and I hesitantly handed over my debit card. When I got out of the store I looked at the receipt, $35 and change for a pack of 5 blades -- YIKES!!
Have you opened them? If not, I would return them. |
No, as a matter of fact I haven't opened them. I may just take them back. However, since there are only 2 shops in town, the couple that owns the shop may take it as a personal offense that I think their blades are too high. Then on the other hand, my husband did just buy me a Bernina sewing machine from them a week ago this past Saturday. They didn't bother to say anything about Sept being National Sewing Month and the machines would be on sale in a week! We had been in an out of there for about a month looking. I was not happy when I was in there Tues and all the machines were on sale.

quiltnmom, I would not be concerned about whether they took personal offence. They are in a business and should be fair and straight with their customers. The fact that they didn't tell you about the sale coming up in 1 week, I myself would take as a personal affront.
First I would show my receipt and ask for the sale price since I only bought it a week ago. If they agreed, I would return the blades, explaining that you were distracted and didn't realize the price till you got home. If they refused, I would return the machine and the blades. Then I would come back into the store and buy the machine on sale. Hugs and smiles, Linda aka wildyard |
