This is the registry tool for Macy’s. It uses a stylus. Before we were allowed to get this awful machine, my husband and I had to tell Macy’s a ton of details about our wedding. At one point, this exact dialogue occured:
Macy’s Lady: How many guests are you inviting?
Me: Next question please.
Macy’s Lady: It won’t let me make an account unless you answer that.
My then-fiancee: 500
Macy’s Lady: ……
The pre-registry Q&A session was so strenuous that we should have left at that point. But then we finally got the scanner. Woo!
Too bad it was so difficult to use that my husband and I tried entering three items, then went back to the wedding office and handed in the machine.
At Crate and Barrel you give the desk an ID, scan bar codes, and then go to a kiosk to enter your account information, which doesn’t include the question “How many guests?”
