BRU Madness

I am about to slap Babies R Us back to when honeys were wearing Sasoon’s. We have a registry at BRU that has exploded to hell and I feel like going to their nearest location and giving them a piece of my mind. I have my first baby shower this coming weekend and over the weekend I received several texts and calls saying that there is no registry for us at BRU – we happened to be heading up there yesterday so I thought I would check it out for myself and sure enough, nothing on file. I asked the associate at our local store and she said they had regional outages for online registries over the weekend and that some were indeed wiped out, ours being one of them. They told me they would restore it back to the last backup version and then would help us edit it if needed. Long story short, they restored it but told me they couldn’t promise the registry would be “stable” and that I should consider moving the necessities to another store registry if I was concerned…
SERIOUSLY? I will gladly move my registry to another store but it’s a little late for that now, isn’t it. She offered us a 15% off coupon on one regularly priced item and I literally felt like exploding. I’m sure a lot of people have good experiences with BRU but I am not one of them. I should have known.
This is only a minor annoyance and the weekend definitely brought far more good than bad. I had a crazy idea for the nursery and my sweet husband made it happen - he is my favorite thing.
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and if anyone wants to join me in mobbing BRU, please start making your protest signs NOW…

Love the nursery!!
I had a small issue with BRU with my registry for DS1. I got a few gifts multiple times. All the people said that they either bought it online or used my registry in the store and let the cashier know. It wasn't a huge deal because I could bring the stuff back and use the credit for the stuff I still needed. I just felt bad opening up the same stuff over and over.
Now THIS is the time to write a letter to corporate! I know I would; and I don't do letters.
On a happier note.. Your nursery is adorable!!
Your nursery is the cutest thing ever!!! I'm obsessed!! It's simply adorable, great job!

They are overpriced, their coupon policy sucks too.
