You must have received their July catalog. You're right about play on words. 'Grown in the US'. Cotton, that is.

In our walmart they have less fabric. and mostly the same fabric all the time... tons more fleece but what is most annoying is that if the person who is cutting is on lunch and they pull someone from any other department they NEVER have a clue how to cut . I had people cut a panel double sided so of course the next panel is ruined. ( you cannot explain anything to them as they just get really nasty then). They put the tag through ( or tried before I stopped her ) the middle of the folded fabric.. and also use staples at times. One even had no clue how much 1/2 yard was... I have talked with the managers of several occassions to suggest that if they are going to have people in who regularily do not cut fabric they could maybe train them? They are receptive to that but next time I go to get a little something while there I have the same issues. Customer service is mot their priority at all. NOw when I go to my daughters in central CA the store is completely different if you ask where something is they want to take you there.. and SO pleasant ..I do frequent it a lot.. but do ask myself why?? LOl and never on a sunday !! Oh and don't get me started on the clangy buggies. ka bam ka bam kabam.. resinates all over the store.. LOL
