More Registering, But Carson's Is Out

Sunday, March 8, 2009
Kelly and I were able to get out this afternoon and do some more registering for our wedding. She went to her check-up for her Lasik surgery in the morning and everything checked out just fine.

We headed out to Macy's to start our registry there and had a great experience. The Bridal Registry folks were super nice and helpful and we found several things to add to our list. We will probably add some more items later on, but have a good start. After that we decided to head over to Carson's (Bergners, Yonkers, etc) to open another registry. We had planned to pick 3 stores to register at. One we knew friends and family would be able to find in both their areas (Bed Bath & Beyond), one that my family could find around the Quad Cities (Carson's) and one Kelly's family could find around them (Macy's). We chose these 3 because they also have locations near us as well. After wandering around Carson's trying to find the place to sign up for our registry we decided to ask a woman at a checkout counter who acted irritated with us and snapped at us to go around the corner where some one could help us. We went around the corner where we found no one so Kelly hunted down someone who said she could help but treated her like she was bothering her. Then after sitting down with her she gets a call and then tells Kelly she has something else she has to take care of and if she wanted to wait around 10-15 minutes some "might" be by to help. At this point I said forget it. There is no way we are sending friends and family business their way after that kind of treatment. We are currently in the process of identifying another store both here in the Chicago area and in the Quad Cities. If you have any suggestions we would love to hear them!

Aside from that Bed Bath & Beyond and Macy's were excellent!
