LYS or daycare?

Yesterday, I visited a LYS for the first time. Selection was ok. Lots of Cascade and Trekking but that isn't what left a lasting impression. The 8 year old who asked me if I was finding everything I needed, the baby waking from her nap in the backroom and the 2 toddlers fighting in the make-shift playpen area with cartoons playing on a TV were a bit more memorable. Then there was the worker (owner?) talking to her mother about how her son forgets his homework at school everyday. Maybe if you didn't make him help your customers, he would remember things like homework and school. Customer service by a child (even though he knew his yarn) isn't exactly comforting or legal. It all left a bad taste my mouth. There was no cozy place to sit and knit feeling of the usual LYSs. It was more find your yarn and get out of here because I have kids to look after. Not visiting that one again.

  • Another Sarah with the same question - I thought I'd been to everything locally, but that doesn't sound familiar at all.
