And even if it was her first day, she would have just told her co-worker and he could have done it. It's just not one of those things that you say, "I don't know how to do that" and then do nothing about it.<br /><br />As for us staying indoors Thursday, there had been a lot of accidents in the rain, and then traffic problems, and then flash floods and more traffic problems. I don't think that there would have been a flood between me and the Walmart or Hobby Lobby, but with all the places that you weren't supposed to drive I imagine that there was more traffic in the places that were safe, and it just didn't seem worth the effort to get out in it.<br /><br />Oh, and yes, a lot of the Walmarts have either stopped selling fabric or have made the fabric and craft area smaller. This is especially annoying to people in small towns, since it was the Walmart that put the local fabric store out of business in the first place, forcing everyone to buy all their fabric and craft stuff at Walmart, and now Walmart doesn't have the stuff either.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-57353951978785857452009-06-15T10:23:16.321-04:002009-06-15T10:23:16.321-04:00My Walmart does not do fabric at all anymore.

Jo Ann usually has a nice long line waiting for the fabric cutters.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-59568440656341957042009-06-15T10:07:15.924-04:002009-06-15T10:07:15.924-04:00Aaaggghhh. That would have driven me crazy. I am...Aaaggghhh. That would have driven me crazy. I am not good at waiting, though I would have been polite too.<br /><br />Amazing that she did not know how to page! She must have been very new or too rattled about the person in the hospital to think right.<br /><br />I'm the sort who would have set the fabric up for cutting... as if I was going to do it myself and hope I frightened an employee into running over to help me before I cut something. Then I would have stood there feeling foolish as I was not helped until I gave up... and put the fabric back where I got it. As I left an employee would magically show up and I'd be running back to get the fabric before the employee could vanish again.<br /><br />Why didn't they want people outside? The thunder storms? We have only once been advised to stay inside... because of smoke from a forest fire. I heard we had to be inside when ST. Helens blew her lid too. I missed that one.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-70472640263789376682009-06-15T10:00:10.487-04:002009-06-15T10:00:10.487-04:00I've probably vented on this before, but this ...I've probably vented on this before, but this reminds me of an experiences I had at Sears.<br /><br />I went to buy a power tool that cost about $30. Like I usually do, I paid cash. They asked me my phone number. I did not want to be in the database, so I gave the phone number for the time. She tried to put that in, and she told me that it was a valid number, and that I had to give a valid phone number in order to pay cash for something at Sears.<br /><br />Ridiculous. I asked to speak to a manager. I was then told "We don't have managers".<br /><br />I left the tool on the counter and went home.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
