People who wait until AFTER I cut their fabric to ask what price it is, make a cat butt face, and decide they don't want their fabric after all.
Thanks douchebag, you just made about 5-10 of honest customers wait in line longer for nothing and now I have to either re-wrap the fabric and put it back on the floor, or I have to log it as a remnant(scrap). This is on top of the mountains of things that need to get done already, so thanks a lot.
People who demand that I custom cut thier fabric.
If I do that, I will get fired. It is against the rules, due to return policy and other people in line behind you.
Perfect example: Fleece. Thousands of soccer moms who don't know how to sew have just discovered the miracle way to be crafty, the no-sew blanket. All you do is cut the corners off of a two yard piece of fleece, cut fringe, tie the fringe. That's all.
Yet they want 6 yards of the same print of fleece, but cut into 3 increments of 2 yards. I can't do that. And you know what? Even if I could, I stll wouldn't on principle.
The lack of work involved in your project is already low enough, I'm not going to do your work for you. How hard is it to measure two yards(72 inches) and then cut a straight line(or straight enough)?
Is this how you made it through school? Getting other people to do your homework for you? Did you copy off of the kid sitting next to you? By the way that you try to argue or even bully me into cutting the fabric for you into three pieces, I'm guessing so. Go away, I'm not giving you my lunch money.
People who know the policy, and abuse it.
After the discovery of the no-sew blanket, came the discovery of the above policy and new ways of getting around it. For example:
Me-So, how many yards would you like?
Sc-Two.
Me-*cuts two yards*
Sc- Oh, you know what? I'm going to need another two yards.
Me-
They think that they're clever, but we'll see who has the last laugh when you try to return your fleece. You see, I have counted your purchase as one 4 yard piece! Bwa ha haaaaaaaa! We don't take back fabric that has been cut or washed! And when you tell them how you had two and two yards cut in the first place, they won't believe you! It's against the rules to do custom cuts!!!!!

There's a reason the price is CLEARLY posted over the fabric, AND on the end of the bolt. Just round up to the nearest half-dollar, and figure out how much it will cost. Not hard. Believe me, by the time I'm standing in that line, I know exactly how much I want of each bolt!
