Julie<p>Another rant about small businesses: </p><p>As I’ve said before, I try to support local businesses. But when they’re just not interested… I wanted to buy some quilting fabric - probably $200 worth, not a $4 fat quarter. </p><p>The woman who was ‘helping’ me choose fabrics went on lunch. She walked out, when she was serving me, to go to lunch. </p><p>The woman who came in to take over from her looked at my choices and said, you’re using that grey. I said it was the recommended colour for the pattern. And she walked off. Now, I don’t think I have BO or bad breath; she just could not be arsed to help. </p><p>So I am supporting a local business, just not one local to me. I ordered the whole run of fabrics I wanted from the one spot, delivered to my door. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/canberrabusinesses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canberrabusinesses</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/onlineshopping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onlineshopping</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/canberra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canberra</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/hobartbusinesses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hobartbusinesses</span></a></p>
