That was the single biggest pitfall with aforementioned Heather. She would lie and say something was ordered when it wasn't. I can take the truth and get what I want, but keeping someone dangling and thinking they will patiently wait six months is poor policy. I might even wait six months so long as I knew the score !
I tried it out at our stitchin this a.m. and said someone in metro is considering an LNS. You would love the result and since I didn't want to elaborate, I wished I had said nothing. Someone was going to be in Moncton next week so we were all advised to 'phone Because You Count and order up anything we wanted so she could pick it up.
I think you could have a winner quite easily.
