I was an absolute dweeb walking into this stunning store which is huge with miles of fabrics, machine sales, classroom space with machines humming. All I needed was 1 square yard of solid colored flannel material.
I was dumbfounded at the massive materials selections that went on and on and on. This is truly a fine looking store!
And I was totally lost!
I asked one employee where I could find the flannel and she politely took me straight to the rack which had 25 or more bolts to choose from. I picked my bolt, but was totally lost at the process, so another fine lady pointed me to the nearest cutting machine and table. I sheepishly said I need just one square yard. And without any judgment or awkward looks, the clerk sized, cut and bagged my miniscule purchase. I spent about $3.
Then, with a pleasant attitude she asked what it was for and I told her it was for polishing the gun metal on a rifle I'd just purchased. Well, her husband has had the same Collectable piece for years and we chatted for another 5 minutes.
I left feeling very much better, and I can't say enough good things about the complete offerings of this business and the politeness of everyone I met.
