The poor fiance had to work a "half" day on Saturday, which for him means from 8-3. By the time he came back I was bouncing off the walls to do something. I was practically begging him to go to the mall with me because I wanted him to get some new clothes and I felt that I needed to be there to supervise his purchase of jeans from anywhere but Wal-Mart. His rule of thought is to not spend more than $20 on jeans, I tell him that he'll spend $20 on a case of beer so why not splurge on some clothing that will last years?
We did not end up going shopping on Saturday, but I went to Target though and made flash cards for my new German vocab and some markers to make them pretty!
So today, Sunday, the fiance and I went to Bed Bath and Beyond to register for gifts. Does anyone have fun doing this? Registering is harder than it seems like it should be... but there for sure was a distinct difference in our Target and BBB experience.
To illustrate the difference in service I'll first explain our Target registration:
"Here is your scanner - have at it"
For our BBB experience we had a much higher level of customer service, which you think I would love, right? Well it was actually quite annoying... The fiance and I come from Iowa, we're not exactly the epitome of class. Before even registering we decided that we don't need a china set that costs $100 or more, we want the practical every day use china. The woman that was "guiding" us through our registration was convinced that we needed high end stemware and china etc. In an effort to get her to leave us alone I gave in and said that her opinions of things we don't need were fine and to add them to the registry... so I'm going to have to delete some things from the registry right now.
The whole experience was way too involved, like this woman really doesn't need to be there to throw in her input for what she thinks looks good together... So anyways, we have a follow up appointment next weekend to "finish our registry".
This begs the question: If you knew someone was registered at Target and Bed Bath and Beyond, which store would you choose to purchase a gift for the couple? The fiance and I think we have our answer but I'd like your input.
We have less than 6 months til the big day! I am getting so excited! I should mention that this weekend was an epic fail in the health category, I haven't worked out since Wednesday, I've ate far too much ice cream and other "bad" foods. Oh well, just need to make better choices tomorrow, right!?
