Do you feel pressured to add things to your registry from employees at the store?

I know they are doing their jobs BUT it really pi$$es me off. This happened the other day.


It's none of your damn business if I have more than one registry and don't lecture me on what I need to add...I got it!

wow, i never had that happen to me. that is so rude! i would go so hormonal on them

I never felt pressured to put anything on the registry. The showed us how to use the "gun" and let us be.

Re: Do you feel pressured to add things to your registry from employees at the store?

Well first when I got the gun the woman said so how is the registry going? I said fine, so she said let me look at tell you how it's going..UM excuse me??? She then rattled off all of the things I needed to add and ask me if I would be breast feeding.

Then when I handed in the gun she lectured me and asked if this was my only registry I said "yes" but that was a lie. She shook her head and said I better start adding more things.

nope, not at all. i registered at BBB in westbury and huntington.

No. I actually found the people at BBB to be really helpful. I have been back several times to add some stuff and they ask if we need help and if I say "no thanks" they walk away.

something similar to this happened to me while registering at BRU. The salesperson made this snide comment when I scanned the Dr. Brown's bottles "oh, this must be your first"
me: "yea, how'd you tell"
BRU: "because all the new moms register for those, because they're lazy
These curved ones are better for the baby..."

Anyway, I just appeased her by scanning the ones she recommended, then took them off when i got home.

I never had this happen to me. I actually had the opposite when I returned the gun & she said "wow, you got so much done the first day of doing this" & my response was "I was well prepared!"

Sorry this happened to you

Re: Do you feel pressured to add things to your registry from employees at the store?

No, this didnt happen to me either. But I registered with my husband and my sister. She pointed, he scanned, and I nodded in agreement. I guess we didn't look like we needed help!

Sorry this happened to you. It would really annoy me too!

Pressure...no thankfully.
I had one woman give her opinon on carseats, but we already had one on the registry. I let her talk - didn't change my opinion in our choice.
