that's pretty funny....but sad.. that the "fabric store" personnel would say that in answer to your question....LOL
I worked for Walmart for about 3 yrs. in the fabric dept. here locally (which they disbanded, for the "shelf/self help stuff"... but was constantly reminded that i should not spend too much time with "the customers"... I was helping newbies with info in both quilting, sewing , Dad's wanting to know what to buy for wives or daughter's , first machines, self-assemble sewing storage cabinets... (they still sell this one, its a beauty for around 100.00)... can't tell you how many i sold... noions for stocking stuffers, Mother's Day...As for the yarn, i printed my own handouts for little beginner scarfs, and poncho's (my own design).... it was a blast...!!!
Loved the people i worked with.. but was constantly reminded i would get a write-up for NOT TAKING LUNCH, at the exact right hour... doesn't matter if there is a customer... what a hoot...
The best part is that i only work for fun!! So i'd say.... sure write me up.. when i get enough, and it's not fun anymore,, i'll just leave.. no problem.. no hard feelings.. if it ain't fun,,, i ain't doin' it!!!!
So......... at the end of 3 yrs.. i just said goodbye.. they could not believe i'd do that... just told them... the fun was over.. LOL
But people still stop me when i'm shopping and ask questions... Life is good.... just had to share that one....

I went to the fabric stores this past week-end and asked for this and they had no clue what I was talking about, they were trying to sell me adhesive. In fact one of the clerks told another one "I think it's adhesive she wants" and I said I think it's not, but thanks.
