Default Thrift store "police"

I went to the local Hospice Thrift Store today. They were having a"bag sale". Six clothing items for 5 bucks. I found six really nice wool skirts for felting. When I went to pay, the clerk said, "oh these are nice!" I replied that I was excited to find them, and they would be perfect for some projects that I was working on. She said " oh, you're one of those people who buy clothes and cut them up....seems like such a shame when other people really need those clothes." I politely smiled and said, "My cash is just like theirs and anyway, I guess I just can't imagine a homeless man wearing a size 4 plaid skirt, but to each his own." I didn't realize the quilt shop police have a separate detachment at the thrift shop.
