Has anyone experienced bridal stores wth registration fees just to try on a dress?? I am in a wedding that is not local, but need to find a local store to try on the bridesmaid dress for sizing. There was only one main store in my area that carried the brand the bride has picked out. I went to the store and they wanted to charge me $25 to try on the dress (if i was buying from the store it would ultimately go towards the cost of the dress, but since i was not it was just a fee to come in their store). I checked the store's website and found that their poicy to "ensre customer service" is to charge a fee. Since when do we pay retailers to offer cusotmer service to potential customers?!? Warning for brides in NC - stay far away from the Bridal Boutique of NC in Cary, unless you don't mind paying for customer service.
