New England Fabrics & Decorating Center

From a beginner sewer, I went into the store with intentions of making flannel masks for my family and friends for the holiday. I went in and grabbed my different flannel fabrics and went to the front desk to check out. I explained to the worker that I a beginner sewer and I want to make 20 masks for my family. She gave me a yard of each fabric which was appropriate, and when she asked me how many elastics I needed I said forty pairs thinking they were a set. She cut me forty feet of elastic (I didn't speak up because I am socially anxious and this was a terrible situation). Anyway, I explained to my mom who is an experience sewer and told me that was too much elastic and I should try to return 36 feet of it. I went the next day to return the untouched elastic, and the same worker told me they will take it back but only give me 20% back. Hello? I feel that they low key took advantage of the beginner sewer not knowing what she is doing and asking for help. P.S. I think they are a front.
