It was hit-or-miss whether she'd have enough yarn in <i>any</i> color or content for making a sweater. She'd offer to order it in, but...I could do that, myself, and it would be a lot cheaper. <br /><br />She also had a problem with not being in the shop during her supposed hours of operation. Lots of times I ran by on my 15 min break to buy something, and went back to work empty-handed because she hadn't bothered to come in yet.<br /><br />(She went out of business. ::throws up hands::)the Derpsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981954946686354254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-66275377133040876982011-12-05T13:19:36.432-05:002011-12-05T13:19:36.432-05:00you should make a copy of this and send it in an e...you should make a copy of this and send it in an email to the store.squeaky wheel..etc.yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-51426034470215758712011-12-04T17:32:05.913-05:002011-12-04T17:32:05.913-05:00Maddening, isn't it?Maddening, isn't it?Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-78326280012448783862011-12-04T17:17:38.865-05:002011-12-04T17:17:38.865-05:00Tally up the number of times you've been there...Tally up the number of times you've been there for fragrance and they didn't have it. Then go down and tell them - if you happen to be passing by. Let them know the number of sales they lost out on and that you decided to get the fragrance from an alternate source. They deserve to know how often they have lost sales.Lori F - MNnoreply@blogger.com
