Except it's not anything like that. Target sells a lot of quality stuff. They sell a lot of the SAME stuff you could get at Macy's, but it's quite a bit cheaper.

Giving your guests crappy food vs. giving your guests a less expensive place to buy a gift. Not sure where you're seeing the similarity.

Yeah, Target's idea of stemware is Dublin Crystal Goblets yet Macys carries a complete line of Waterford stemware. We won't even get into fine china or silver.

I went to a wedding for a co-worker recently who was registered at Target. I looked online at some of the stuff they registered for and was like WTF! There's nothing on here that's worth half a crap. I ended up getting her a $50 gift certificate to Macys instead. She loved it.

They do carry Riedel though. Which is one of our issues. We have some Pinot Noir glasses and we want to exchange them for Red Wine....they cost the same, but we have no receipt and they won't help us out. I just didn't want to register at Walmart because I'm from TN and would "fit the stereotype".

Point taken.

Sucks that they won't take the glasses back. I'd call their corporate office and complain.

Edit-Congrats on the nuptials. :wine:

You can "Return" some of the stuff to wallmart.

I'll give another :thumbsup: for Bed Bath and Beyond's return policy.

I got my girlfriend a set of sheets for her birthday (among other things, of course). After about a month, she noticed a couple of holes in them. We were able to walk up with the sheets in a grocery bag and walk out with brand new ones. No reciept, no hassel, no forms.

Awesome customer service.
