We've had a spate of these lately, timewasters fishing for free ideas, you'd think we'd be able to spot them by now

I wonder if it's the fact we're shops, they think that well we're there anyway, and that's what we do, why don't they just wander in and have a look see, clearly we have nothing else to do but share our knowledge and expertise gratis, we are after all just stood around waiting for them to call in for a chat. We had a pair last Friday afternoon, mother and daughter, brandishing fabric samples, we were flat out doing two weddings, said sorry we can't do a consultation now, can you book an appointment, never saw them again. Confiscated the fabric samples though
