I have done that. The fabric dept used to be back by the automotive dept and 3 times in the last 15? years some poor kid from that dept comes over. I try to help him out, keeping it as a teaching moment, that maybe he'll use again in the future.
At the time I thought I had kids that age, he doesn't WANT to be here and I hope if I ever end up a customer in the auto dept, he will be as kind to me.

WOW!!!! Lucky you. I don't know where you live in Ill. but at all of the Wal-mart's in my area, there are three locally, the fabric and yarn departments are awful. I think I have more material and yarn in my own stash than all of their merchandise combined.

We are in the country and not many fabric shops around and quilting shops costly and few of them. We have 3 people working in fabric and someone there daytime and weekends and I am friends with manager. They have 4 isles of material, quilting and sewing supplies, lots of fabric and solid color $2.97 and prints $3.97 and nice material. I have been buying material at Wal Marts and made a lot of clothes and they are still going strong and look good.

My Walmart (Culpeper, VA) is stocking nice seasonal fabrics. Was told that they won't restock those particular fabrics so it is on a buy when you see it basis. I got a yard of the cutest doggie fabric out of the remnant bin, and they have on bolt other cat and dog fabrics. Very nice quality. I plan to stop by more frequently.

My two Walmart stores have come around with fabric help. They have trained photo, TV section, party supplies, anyone near fabric department. It nice to be able to look for someone close. Male or female they come. I am so happy for store manger's who so lets have everyone help. Then on vacation in NC their plan is - customer needs help
in whatever place they are at and a person on the floor has a phone and they call someone to help, then they check to see someone is there. Nice!
