As a part-time employee of Jo-anns, I know they tell us to ask
customers what they are making but I've never seen any salesperson at
my store ask rudely or be rude at all with a customer. I usually don't
ask the question unless I'm genuinely interested in what the customer
is making, which I often am, unless it's obvious she is into quilting,
since I have no interest in that. I see no reason for the customer
to act rudely to me when I ask but sometimes they do anyhow. Curt,
sarcastic comebacks are not called for in my opinion. Why do
salespeople have to be treated as if they are just cogs in the
corporate machine (even though I feel that way often)?

Quite frankly, I'm glad if the fabric store employees express an
interest.
So often they are totally indifferent, if not downright rude. I just
give
them a simple, "early 19th century dress (or whatever)."
And as to the rude an indifferent, right now my nearest fabric store
is a
JoAnn's, where that is often the case, but I'm kind of stuck if I just
need a
spool of thread or something. (The not-so-close JoAnn stores are
better, I
have to admit. And there is a Hancock's that isn't bad.)
