So every time I work at Joann’s I try to remember one thing, one customer that strikes me as interesting.
Today, I was ringing up a lady who bought all of this stuff for quilting. Like over a hundred dollars worth of notions and rulers and maybe some fabric, right? So I confessed I was interested in trying it out and she said “Don’t do it.”
I said, “Do you really need all of this stuff?”
She says, “It’s half price. And no you don’t,” pauses. “Except when you enter contests… then you become a perfectionist.”
“Wow. That’s serious,” I say. “But do you ever get home and look in your one bag and say, “What did spend a hundred dollars on?”
She deadpans, “You get used to it.”
“Maybe I should just stick to knitting.”
Scoops up her one bag, “Yes! You should, it’s wonderful, you have your yarn.”
“Have a nice day.”
“You too honey.”
