You know you've been at BB&B too long when...

...your scanner runs out of battery and you have to feed the meter twice.
That's right ladies, we started at 2 pm and 5 HOURS LATER we only had enough gifts if every guest purchased 1.
I don't know how it happened, the salespeople weren't pushy and FI and I weren't arguing, it just took FOREVER to get through that store.
No questions, just wanted to share Smile

    Cathy, that's hilarious! I know what you mean. When FI and I registered, we had no idea how long it would take. I was exhausted. We went to the one in Orland Park (which is enormous), and they were SO helpful.

    lol it took us about that long when we were there a few weeks ago, too. We still probably don't have enough items even after adding more at home!

    LOL! How big is your guest list? I'm kind of concerned now b/c FI HATES shopping and gets impatient after about 10 minutes.

    Ha!  Yeah, we spent about 3 hours.  The saleslady kept saying, "You can make an appointment to come back if you don't want to do it all tonight!"  I think we still have to go back though!

    Guest list is 225 and when we were finished we had exactly 224 items scanned. I did go online later that night and added some things that weren't at that specific store so now I think we're up to like 250. I thought FI would be impatient but he got pretty excited about knives and cookware! And as long as he had control of the scanning gun, he was pretty into it.
    Just come on a full stomach! FI started to crash and burn when he got hungry Smile

    Haha my FI got too hungry as well! And we were only there 2 hours! We had started it online and just finished it in the store for things we needed to see in person. Luckily when we went to C&B it was right after dinner, so he was fine there.

    Sounds exhausting! Speaking of which - does anyone know if there are any incentives to actually go in the store vs online? I'm sure there will be some things we want to see in person, but I'm guessing the two of us will do a lot better in our PJ's at home with a laptop and a cup of coffee.

    Thanks in advance!
