Good luck to the Retiring Fabric Dept Manager.
If you could see this WalMart's fabric dept. You'd know why she cares. She built it up and stood up to the head office to keep it big and full. It still has the Simplicity and McCalls big pattern drawers with catalogs and stools to sit and browse through. She will custom order whatever she can for her customers. Her dept has the Fuze a Boo batting and the no skrim batting. She orders wide cotton backing, a bolt of everything Pellon makes. She got the last of the June Taylor notions and stock piled them so her store still has the Shape Cuts and fussy cut rulers. She cares about her customers. It's a very small town and this lady is proud of her dept. The store manager will retire not long after she does so everyone knows this dept will go back to home office regulation. I don't think she is silly at all. She actually cares about her job and customers. She is one of a kind Walmart employee and probably the only one that will be missed by customers when she retires.
