Lighting at Joann's
#1
Has anyone noticed a change in the lighting at Joanns? I was at the Henrietta, NY one and they have reduced the light by half. There is no row of lighting in front of the quilting fabric, and very little in home dec. I had a terrible time trying to match colors. I had to walk to a row where there was some light. When I finally had made my selections, and went to the cutting table, two of the fabrics had to go back, because they did not match. There is light at the cutting counter. What is up with this? Some corporate idiot's idea of cost cutting?

Maybe its a way of getting you to browse more, that way you buy more, as if we need help spending money on fabric! The wal mart here does that also. But instead of the lights staying out all the time it rotates around so the lights are constantly coming on and off. I had to ask what the heck? as one of the employees came by and they said it was a way of saving energy.

There is a brand new Joann's in Bend, OR that has hands down the MOST fabulous lighting I have ever seen in a store. Incredible bright lighting, not harsh, sooo easy to see and match fabrics. Sure hope they don't change. It's such a pleasure to shop there!!

I haven't noticed any change, however, my bff gave me a little portable Ott light for Christmas. It's palm sized, really cute and it works well for matching fabric when there is no natural light available. Think she got it at Michaels.
