Has your LQS stopped cutting fat quarters?

I have never asked if they cut fat quarters but they have a whole wall of fat quarters with almost every fabric in the shop so they probably do.
I dont like buying them there though cus they are 3.00 a fat quarter and that comes to 12.00 a yard when most of the fabric in that shop is 9.99-10.99 a yard.
But if I need something and only a little I have picked up maybe 2 fat quarters from them.
I love connecting threads because they cut in fat quarters that way I dont have to order a quarter yard

I have one LQS that never ever had Fat Quarters,... a dissapointment. Another LQS will not cut on request a FQ. They only use ends of bolts for FQ.
I'm not sure why this trend away from FQ is starting, since so many patterns are geared toward fat quarters. Plus I always end up increasing my purchase with a few FQ's.

The LQS near me has lots of fat quarters already cut for everything in the store and has them in little cubbies right above the bolts. If there are none left they will cut them for you unless they're busy having a big sale... then they will cut half yards or more because it's too time consuming to convert the inventory from yardage to FQs since they have a different price. They only have one cash register/computer so it would tie up everybody in line waiting to check out.
