Dear sewing sisters,
I usually sit silently on the sidelines, but this topic has gotten my first posting out of me. I work at a WalMart SC and I call the fabric/craft dept my "home-away-from-home" because you can usually find me there when I'm not working my cash register. Our store has already undergone a big remodel and our fabulous fabric dept (that the dept mgr told me was in the top handful of the nation for sales) was reamed out of over 2/3 of its fabric, maybe more! EVERYONE who works there (and my schedule used to allow me to help customers and cut fabric) is upset about it still. I am always telling my customers to complain because the Co people only listen to you, not the associates. Now I am discouraged to think that the stupid people setting policy don't care about us customers either. Well..you have encouraged my heart to think that you are willing to fight for the right and good things that used to make Walmarts shine. I have wanted to complain and plead with someone on top of the pile for a long time. I am going to nose around tomorrow for a good "address" to mail or email. I will check back here, also, to see if anyone else found out who might really listen to us. And yes, money seems to have the most pull with these younger leaders so I thank you for any buying you do in WM fabric dept.
