i've had similar experiences at wal mart. what i do is put the phone number for the store in my cell phone, then if i wait too long i call the store and ask for someone to come cut the fabric.

LOL........guess I'll have to look at that service phone next time I am there and figure out which button is the intercom......"Attention Associates.....customer service needed in Fabrics......I've been waiting over 5 minutes to have my fabric cut and I can see the scissors.....thank you". I'm so glad I don't get treated badly at my Walmart.

I think wm has been believing their hype - they think people are all going to shop there. Our local wms have seriously limited their inventories - no choices - wm brand and one other. I've told people working there that if I have to travel to get what I want, I won't be shopping at a wm.
Years ago the thing was no more than 3 people in line at checkout - well I'm sure you've all been in lines longer than that!
Sam wanted to provide American goods at reasonable prices - that's long gone.
oh yea, you CAN'T GET A CELL PHONE signal in our wms - maybe some of you ladies had already been here! LOL

I have to say that I've always gotten nice service in my local WM fabric department. There is an older man (now that I think about it, I would guess he's my age - yikes!) who cuts fabric. He always handles the fabric with care and makes sure he cuts it straight. On top of that, he's very pleasant. There's also been other ladies who cut fabric - and I have to say that all of these WM employees handle the fabric more lovingly that most of the employees at other 'fabric' stores.

I had a similar thing happen at our local WM but it turned out better for me. There was a brand new male manager that finally came over. He had no clue what he was doing but bless his heart he did everything he could to help me. I told him how to measure and cut the fabric. I told him how to use the little scanner and ticket machine. Then he proceeds to roll up the fabric and place rubber bands around it like celery! It was all I could do to keep from busting out laughing but it was so cute I could hardly stand it. He promised me that he would make sure the sewing area would be fully staffed as long has he was the manager.

I searched for Corporate Office and got where I supposedly needed to contact them - but the space on their site was limited - pluse they were going to send my complaint to my LOCAL WM. There was no place where I could copy and paste our entire thread. They wanted full name, address, phone number and they would just send it to local WM so I just "x'd" it out - :-(
