| - It is 2 pm on a Tuesday afternoon in a dreary fabric store. Both tills are occupied. Enter Sarah Louise into the scene, who has just lined up behind an elderly woman who is taking her time to ensure she is entitled to the best bargain possible. A couple enters the scene, and lines up in an alternate destination, instead of behind Sarah Louise. Many other customers follow suit, and line up behind these people as well. Not one to succumb to pressure, Sarah Louise keeps her place. When it is her turn to go up, there is conflict as Sarah Louise and the couple both step up to the till.
BORED HUSBAND: (to his wife) Were you next, honey?
CASHIER: I don't know who was next in line. Was it you two, or this lady here? (Glances at Sarah Louise)
SARAH LOUISE: Uhmmm...
BORED HUSBAND: ACTUALLY WE WERE HERE FIRST THIS LADY LINED UP IN THE WRONG SPOT.
SARAH LOUISE: THE WRONG SPOT?!?!? I believe I was here first, and you chose to stand elsewhere.
BORED HUSBAND: Actually, we're in line. (Pointing to the line behind him).
SARAH LOUISE: I HAD A LINE GOING. IT WAS A GOOD THING. IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU DIDN'T THINK TO JOIN MY LINE.
BORED HUSBAND: (shakes his head and nudges his wife to the front of the line) Go ahead honey.
SARAH LOUISE: YES! FINE GO AHEAD. THAT'S JUST FINE.
BORED HUSBAND: Do you have a problem?
SARAH LOUISE: NO. EVERYTHING IS FINE. IS THIS YOUR LINE? THAT YOU CREATED? EVEN THOUGH I WAS HERE ALREADY?
(no response)
SARAH LOUISE: (muttering as she goes to the back of "the line") Sheep.
FRIENDLY REDHEAD LADY: Go ahead of me. Really. I saw you lined up earlier.
SARAH LOUISE: Don't worry about it.
End Scene.
Today, I got in my first verbal scrap at a fabric store on a weekday afternoon. At age 22. I am very worried for when I am an actual retired person. I originally came here seeking out some plain cotton fabric. I advise you to look around, as this Fabricland is not the best organized, and things are kind of everywhere. I initially had a $10/m slab of fabric, then found something almost identical that was $6. The lady cutting my fabric was awkward, but efficient enough. She cut an excellent meter. I also needed safety pins, which I found in like a twelve different spots, at various prices. Eventually I just settled on a set of fourty pins for $1.69 so I didn't have to look anymore. The prices are okay. My grandmother always lectures me that it'd be cheaper with a Fabricland membership and I believe her, but I would probably just lose my card anyways.
This Fabricland has everything you'll need, but Chinook's location is far superior. The Chinook location is much larger, clean and organized, and also has a plethora of sales fabric. So...If you feel like conducting a Larry David-esque social experiment in the middle of the afternoon in a public place, this is the Fabricland for you! If you are looking for selection and to be able to find what you are looking for with ease, perhaps try a different location.
