I am NOT guilty!!

Most of my posts so far have had positive advertising for various places and things, well, except for the "bounce burn" I guess. Anyway, this one is bad advertisement for a certain store that I am sure most of you are familiar with. . . Joann's Fabric Store (which I have never had a problem with until the other day)! Here's the story: A few weeks ago, my husband wanted 6 yards of black spandex fabric(which isn't cheep) for something he was thinking about doing for his school talent show. As a dutiful wife, I went to get the fabric at Joann's. They had 4 yards on one spool, and 2 yards (so I thought) on another spool. I thought we could just go ahead and sew the two pieces together, so I went ahead and bought the fabric. The lady assured me that I could return it if I didn't cut it, and she felt bad that they didn't have the full six yards together, so she said I could use my 50% off coupon on the 6 yards combined, since you are only able to use the coupon on one item. Well, my husband didn't end up doing the talent show, and therefor didn't need the fabric. We never even took it out of the bag! So, I went to return it the other day, and the lady said she needed to measure it first. When she took it out of the bag and saw it was cut, she said, "Oh, we can't take it back because you cut it." I explained that that was how I bought it, and she said, "The recite shows that it was one item." I explained all the details about the purchase, and she said she would talk to a manager. So, the manager comes over and measures both pieces to see if they added up to 6 yards, and they didn't! It was 6 inches shorter than 6 yards . . . and as I said earlier, I we never even took it out of the bag. The ladies both kept questioning me and saying that their employees know the rules and they wouldn't do this and that, etc., etc. Anyway, after a lot of explaining on my part, the manager finally agreed to refund the 5 yards and 30 inches that I had with me. In the long run, I didn't lose out on much money, just 1-2 dollars, but I was completely innocent, and I know that when I left, they thought I was a liar and a stealer, and that I was in the wrong, when in actuality, their employee charged me for 6 inches of fabric that I never got, and sold me fabric that was already cut without writing a note and signing the recite, like they are supposed to do. It was just annoying to try to plead not guilty for something that I was really not guilty of doing! Thank goodness, it was only 6 inches of fabric, in a fabric store, and not a murder case, in front of a judge and a jury!
