Having flashbacks to being being 15 with 25 dollars to spend in a boutique yarn shop. 😫 I wanted a really nice yarn for once to make a gift for someone I really liked and a clerk literally told me to stop touching all "the natural fibers, they pick up the oils from your skin." I was so humiliated but couldn't just leave because that felt like it'd be even worse. The clerk came over and started slowly rearranging everything I came close to.

OMG came here to talk about this! In TN there’s a yarn shop where I felt so damn uncomfortable because of the stalking around the store that I ended up just buying the one thing I needed and practically running out.

It has been years since this happened but just thinking back on it I can still feel the awkward / embarrassed feelings all over again.

Hello 👋 also from Tn we maybe are talking about the same place.

I kind of wondered… this store wouldn’t happen to be in the Nashville area by chance?

No Crossville maybe all yarn boutiques in Tn just contain these types of snooty clerks.

Ugh, hate to say it, but I agree.
