Wort shopping experience
Wort shopping experience. I truly hated shopping at JoAnn’s store at Seven Corners, VA. They have the rudest associates, the most outdated fabrics and a bad pricing system. I hadn't been in that store in years and was shocked to find the state of disarray, how hard it is to find not only the type of fabric you are looking for, but also which price goes with what. The prices are marked differently on the bolt of cloth and on the isles, some have price down stickers, who knows. Different types of fabric are all mixed up, look dirty, or are thrown on the floor and stuck in large containers behind the cutting counter. The isles are blocked by freight, it’s so hard to maneuver the shopping cart. Just because it's about the only fabrics store left in the DC area and I had already made the trip, I kept looking. I spent more than two hours to finally find a few pieces I liked but when I was heading to the cutting counter, the associate announced, out of the blue, that the counter was closed and she was not cutting fabric anymore. She was turning everyone away 45 minutes before closing time. I saw this elderly man who had also had a hard time finding fabric being turned away in the rudest possible way. Another lady told me that she asked for a certain kind of fabric and she was dismissed in the same way. So, I left empty handed but returned a few days later because I already had made my mind on the fabric, only to find that the pieces I liked where elsewhere, the prices had gone up, and, oh the horror, the same associate. This time there was another woman who looked like the manager so I thought well, at least I don’t have to deal with the first one. They were loudly and happily chatting away with each other and ignoring everyone around. The “manager” or whoever the other woman was, turned out as rude as the first one. I mean, these women exude aggressiveness, it’s like they abhor dealing with costumers. And the prices turned out different, and higher, of course. Oh well, never, ever again. This brick and mortar store is truly not worth it.
