Yesterday I did a shop for the old BBB MSC. I used to do a lot of BBBs but got burned out and quit a while back. It's getting close to Christmas so I decided to start back up.
I had not completed a BBB shop since the gift registry requirement was added. I only did one up until yesterday, with no issues.
Yesterday, when I asked for the gift registry, the clerk asked me, "So is the wedding taking place in Florida or here?" I was not expecting that! My response was, "Oh this bride has to go with the most expensive options." His response, "So it's going to be in Florida." Then a few minutes later as he is showing me the options on the registry he says, "We can have the items shipped directly to Memphis."
For the next hour, I was followed by one or more employees at all times. All six employees independently approached me on the floor and asked if they could help me find something. I had their undivided attention, well wishes, and smiles.
I did not realize the employees had access to the address of the intended couple. Hmm . . . or do they? I don't know but before I do another one of those shops I will be checking out the registry online first to see if I can see what they can see. Lesson learned.
