I REALLY want to love this place, but my first experience in the store was very disappointing. First, you should know that I lived in New Orleans before coming to Phoenix, and if you are familiar with New Orleans and costuming, then you know about Jefferson Variety. Let me say that when I walked into SAS, my heart swooned, thinking I had found the Phoenix version of Jefferson Variety: The variety of fabrics! The sequins! The appliques! The marabou! If you are a costumer, this is where you want to come. The downside from all of this great potential, is that the person who waited on me was appallingly rude and unkind. She seemed pleasant to other people, and I have no idea why she was so ugly with me. I had found some fabric selections but wasn't sure how much I needed, so I left the fabric at the counter with the attendant, and zipped home to get the measurements. I was back to the store within 20 minutes. The fabric was gone by the time I returned. She said she put it back in the section that it came from, but it absolutely was not there, and she would not come from behind the counter to show me where she put it. She insisted that someone must have bought it. Seriously, there is no way that someone bought that particular fabric in the 20 minutes I was gone--only one other person was very vaguely perusing the fabric where I was looking, and every other piece that I had pulled out and looked at was still there when I returned, except for the ones I handed to her. I really don't understand what happened or why, but I was really disheartened by the end of my experience. So, go there if you need fabric. If you find something you like, buy it then. Don't expect that you will be assisted. And absolutely, don't expect sunshine at the counter from this particular curmudgeon!! read more
