Before my husband and I go to a new restaurant, we read the Yelp reviews. If the owners of this LQS knew they were a "turn-off" maybe they'd change their tune. I'm sure their business needs more than just their "favorites" to be financially successful. I know there are businesses like that as I have visited a few and it puzzles me how they stay in business. I have been on 2 shop hops within the last year and encountered only two "bad apples" which isn't a bad ratio, and fortunately our feedback on the Shop Hop will hopefully improve their customer service. It is so much easier to be nice. I helped out a friend who owned a quilt shop when she anticipated crowds even though she was always very gracious and welcoming, it's important to have enough staff for Shop Hops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621075977533998822.post-76375833733878125322013-01-24T11:37:39.440-05:002013-01-24T11:37:39.440-05:00Good Customer Service is a must if your business i...Good Customer Service is a must if your business is to survive.....I know how it feels to be "invisible" in those "high end" quilt shops but I have also gone into some where I have been treated like royalty.....what a difference!My Sister Made Me Do It....https://www.blogger.com/profile/04390527342550098130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621075977533998822.post-45798581740959519162013-01-24T11:11:06.583-05:002013-01-24T11:11:06.583-05:00What a bummer!!!

The person who owned the shop was the person whom I had difficulty with. She is a published designer and I asked a question and she treated me like I was the rug you walk on. But a person in her click came in and I was ignored. I made a purchase but have not set foot back in the sore. I sold fabric for 18 years and never treated anyone like I was treated. I feel you pain.
