I have found that every department in WalMart is understaffed. I have had to walk about the store to find someone OR get on the phone and call the manager, or someone, and then hear them announce that a customer needs help in the fabric department. That is not a problem anymore as none of our walmarts carry fabric anymore. AND there is NEVER a customer in the craft department that replaced fabrics. That was a real money making decision on their part. I now shop at Holly Hobby, JoAnns, or my lqs.

Sounds very familiar. I can't even count the times I have walked out of the store. There is no longer any fabric in the store here. It's hard to get any help in the store at all. I use to buy paint there but after waiting 20 minutes for help I now go to Home Depot. I usually don't go unless I absolutely have to. They have stopped carrying things I use all the time and fail to restock their shelves in a timely manner. I sure don't know what they are thinking. Their prices have gone up to be equal to other store on most things except junk food.

I really miss the fabric they used to have at our Walmart. I never had any problem getting help but I guess that isn't always the case.

I actually did cut my own one day before the woman got there. She had to measure everything and wasn't real happy with me but I told her that I had waited too long and couldn't wait any longer for some help.

This happens frequently with me in Wal-Mart. I have gotten to the point where I pick up the phone that is on the counter and page that s customer needs help in the fabric department. Now they put the phone under the counter, BUT I saw it and still phone for help.

I have been reading all the comments and the dissatifaction with
the customer service in the fabric department, my response to
that is to make a comment to 1-800-WALMART. They would
love to hear your comments, good or bad, and quite possibly
it will impact the management of the store and the fabric department.
Hope that you give that a try and see what happens then.

I know this won't work at Walmart but it did work at a large mall Dillards a few years ago. (When I was young and fiesty). I had about $300 worth of merchandise and I wanted to check out. Wandered all over 1/2 of the 2nd floor and could not find one single sales person. So I carried my items over to the big door into the mall and waved my dresses around. The alarms all went off and almost instantly I had 3 people coming from 3 directions to stop the "shoplifter". I just stood there and said "Now, who wants to check me out!". I think I was remembered at that Dillards for a while.
