I HATE it when people are rude to their own customers. Why don't they get it??jaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244508868327967327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11088859.post-1141169853003531122006-02-28T15:37:00.000-08:002006-02-28T15:37:00.000-08:00My friend and I went to Stitches as well and I wan...My friend and I went to Stitches as well and I wanted a pattern that Tess had. Well the woman with the white skirt (Melinda?) in front of the files was trying to find it and couldn't. The files didn't have labels on them by the way, just seemed to be grouped by colors. At any rate, she didn't have the pattern, so she volunteered to make a copy, said it would be 5 minutes. 5 turns into 10, 10 turns into 15, 15 turns into 20, and she's no where around. I'm thinking the woman doesn't know how to operate a copier, so I say to one of the cashiers "Where did she go?" One points to the back, I decide it's time to take charge,I start walking to the back of the auditorium and here she comes, empty handed. I ask her for my copy, she says "I forgot the copy had two sides, I only made a single sided copy." I say "All right, can I go back and make the copies?" (What could she have possibly been doing back there???) "NO!" she says "only vendors are allowed" and she sits down and that's that! Well, I really considered getting my money back and leaving, particularly since I had two friends waiting for me who had to get back to the city. But I too like you wanted that damn pattern and I felt like she had a responsibility to follow through. I went out to the lobby to flag my friends and they were okay with waitng. I've waited for a good twenty minutes at this point! Gee,what's another 20??? I finally did get the pattern, but there was no apology or any kind of kind remark for taking so long to follow through on a simple request. I think she has some gorgeous yarn, pricey albeit, but would I buy online from her? I'm still searching, though she has a silvery light green that I've seen know where else (sigh.....).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11088859.post-1141087977479887432006-02-27T16:52:00.000-08:002006-02-27T16:52:00.000-08:00Glad you went, sorry someone had to leave a bitter...Glad you went, sorry someone had to leave a bitter taste. Note to anyone that has this happen (and you will), slip into the Faye Dunaway mantra - "Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am?...) Because they don't. I see she's not coming up to Seattle for the Fiber Expo and it is smart of her. She would be laughed at by the other vendors and we love nothing more than a good excuse to have a protest. Knit good thoughts into the yarn and all will right itself.
