If Wal-Mart in my town gets rid of the fabric section, I'm basically SOL 'cause its really the only place around here to buy fabric and notions. The nearest Hancock's is an hour away from here...I mean, its not incredibly far away, but I hardly ever get the chance to go to La Crosse because I can't legally drive so I only go there if someone takes me there. Plus, fabric is so darn expensive there anyways that I don't get a whole lot out of it (at least anything I want). And I can't order online...don't have a credit card.
I'm glad there are people out there are trying to do something about this with petitions and writing to the company, but I'm kind of skeptical of it having any real impact. Not trying to be pestimistic or anything, but there are over 30,000 names on that petition and many have probably written their outrage...yet we are still hearing that Wal-Mart is closing their fabric departments and still no word on Wal-Mart changing their mind.
