. "2"^^ . "I really WANT to like this shop. I do. \n\nI've been here a few times and I have never purchased anything. Why would I go there repeatedly and not buy anything, you ask? Because I refuse to support stores/shops who do not have even the basic level of polite customer service. \n\nIf you've ever read any of my reviews, you know I am a stickler about customer service. I've worked in multiple customer service fields and I KNOW what little amount of effort it takes to be decent and acknowledge someone's presence. Each time I have gone to this shop, I have NEVER EVER been greeted. Not even a \"hello\". It's ONE SIMPLE WORD that changes the whole experience! \n\nI went into the shop with full intentions of purchasing multiple yards of at least 2-3 fabric patterns, plus additional accessories. I would have honestly been a gauranteed $100+ sale for the evening. Seriously. \n\nInstead, I walked around the store, passed by SEVERAL people working, talking about their personal lives, ignoring the fact that a customer was present, and was browsing at fabrics they were working with! Not even hello, excuse me, how are you, can I help you. I even walked directly past an employee, we made eye contact I SAID HELLO and there was nothing. NOTHING. Really?!?\n\nNOT ONE WORD WAS SAID TO ME for the duration of my whole trip. I made it around the shop and doubled back to check some prices. It's not like I popped in and out too quickly for anyone to even notice. \n\nIf you don't want to interact with people or customers, find I different job. Seriously. \n\nI wanted to keep coming back and giving more chances, because honestly, it is a nice shop, it is nice to support family owned stores. Plus, a good friend LOVES this place (5 star review) and I figured, \"hey, everybody has a bad day now and then\"... I've read all the reviews. It seems like they go in cycles - either that or you just get the luck of the draw depending on when you go in and who is working. \n\nSo, after not even one simple word from anyone in the store, I left - drove down the street to JoAnn's where I was greeted with a cheery \"hello, welcome to JoAnn's\" upon entering the doors, I browsed and was offered help which I declined as I knew exactly what I wanted and knew the process. Then, due to their friendliness and their simple greeting, I SPENT MY HARD EARNED MONEY THERE. Simple as that. Had someone taken the time to say hello, I would have likely shopped at Quiltique. \n\nInstead, I spend $100 elsewhere, which was cheaper so kind of a bonus for me anyway, but you can imagine that my bill would have been a bit larger had I been acknowledged at Quiltique. \n\nSo, sorry to say, but ladies - you will never receive my business and I would NEVER recommend you to anyone I know. I would rather order online, sight unseen, then to support such rude people who disregard others.\n\n*I should make clear, my last visit was last night (11/20/2013) between 5:30-6PM*"^^ . . "2"^^ .
