because I don't!I got an email from Macy's registry this morning, from my "preferred" location.  The bridal consultant is blatantly scolding me for only registering for 6 items and pointing out that the mugs from the china place setting we picked out will probably not sit right on the saucers (from the same line that sell separately).  Then she questions the quantity of dessert plates we're asking for.  She specifically uses the phrase "random selection" to refer to the registry.I'm sorry if we only registered for the china at Macy's so that we can actually own formal place settings?  I'm sorry if the only other thing on our Macy's registry is the "fancy" flatware set?  I'm sorry if we love to host parties at our place and we really only need appetizer (or dessert) plates?  It's not random.  Our home is fully furnished and we don't need much.  The point of having three registries was to pick what we wanted from whatever store.  And the only thing we want from Macy's is the china and flatware.  We are picking items that go with our lifestyle not what society and etiquette dictate.

    Since it's so conveniently in written email form, I would definitely take that to a manager, or corporate. That is so ridiculous that she is judging what you put on your registry. I would have some huge complaints to some high up people for that one. Ridiculous!

    I'd call the manager at that local. and fax him a copy of the letter. That's terrible customer service. Its your registry, you can add and subtract whatever you want.

    Girl,BBB is starting to carry fancy things like Kate Spade. Run over to BBB and register for your fine china and delete your Macy's registry!  Evil people! Unfortunately, Macy's corporate probably tells her to harrass people, I mean, offer help.  She's just doing what they are telling her to do. Yet, her delivery was not professional. I'm sure they are under alot of stress to push sales, increase commission, and "help you COMPLETE" your registry.

    Wow that's awful. I got something similar from our 'preferred' location basically telling me that it was pointless to have a registry if we weren't going to put enough items on it for all of our guests to buy something. It's ridiculous.

    Sorry you are dealing with such an idiot! FI and I just went yesterday afternoon to Macy's to register. Our consultant was extremely helpful because we had no clue what in the world was suppose to be included in a nice china set. You should definitely escalate the issue. I agree with PP that BBB has some great pieces as well.

    I agree.. show/discuss it with management. And I was thinking of the other BBB... Better Business Bureau. Don't just sit on it.. talk to a higher up about it.Sorry Macy's is a PITA. GL!

    I agree that she's probably just doing what she's told to do, however, the way it came off is aweful. Def. take it up with someone higher up, and if you're not satisfied with their service at that point, get rid of them.

    My reply to her:Dear ________,I appreciate your concern over my wedding registry, especially when you use phrases like, "randomly selected" to describe it.  I will make it a point to visit the store when I have the time available to stroll through Macy's and look at items that my future husband and I have already considered but do not need.  Our home is fully furnished.  We have been living in it for almost a year and have most of the items we need.  Although we have two other registries elsewhere, we registered for the fine china and flatware at Macy's because we both thought that Macy's carries beautiful yet economic lines.  Those are the only items that we do not own at the moment.  I apologize if we have not been as active with our registry as Macy's would like us to be.I wish you a wonderful Sunday and an exciting week to come.  Perhaps we'll see each other soon.Regards,____________________________I'm just shocked that she'd actually send me an email like I described above.  I'm not gonna take it up with management because I can care less what she thinks.  But seriously, her nerve!
