Funny thing happened at Wal-Mart today.

First of all, I am shocked and saddened to know that the new Wal-Marts and the Wal-Marts that are being updated will be without the fabric section :(

So, I went to a WM (a newly updated one) and was horrified to find the fabric section GONE. So I had no other choice but to go to a different one. (Which really was only about 5 miles away, but anyways) I got to this other WM and pick out my fabric. I have to say this took forever. I had to find the right combination of colors. Finally when I was done I made my way to the big counter/table thing to have my fabric cut. Only there wasn't anyone there. So I walked around a bit longer to see if someone would come.

Finally I went back to the table and no one was there still. There was also another college-aged girl waiting too. We were trying to figure out what to do because we had already rang the little bell...numerous times (that was me, I was trying to get someone's attention). So I went and found an employee and asked them to page someone to come to the fabric section.

Back to the counter/table. A couple seconds after the page, the phone rings. I figure it's someone who works there asking if anyone had helped us yet, so I answer it. Turns out it was NOT a WM worker, instead it was a customer calling with a question. I believe she wanted to know if they had fleece material with certain kinds of patterns on it. I didn't want to leave the lady out in the cold so I just acted like I worked there and put her on hold. I went to the fleece section and found a couple that she wanted, went back to the phone and described the kind I had found. Kind of like "Maam, we have this kind and this kind." She was happy and said thank you very much and hung up.

Jason couldn't belive I actually answered their phone and then helped the lady like I actually worked there. But hey, who else would have answered her question? Obviously not the person who was supposed to be at the counter.

HA!
