We ventured out on Black Friday to go to Babies 'R Us and see what deals we could snag. We had a good time and got lots of 9-12 month clothes. We also went to Toys 'R Us a week or so ago and got the changing table. Boy was that an experience. First of all, the store was a complete zoo. So we went in, looked through the clothes, grabbed a few cute outfits, Mark grabbed a couple clearanced video games and we grabbed the piece of paper with the info for the changing table and headed up to the counter. The girl rang us up and then when she saw the paper for the changing table she said they would have to check to make sure that they had it. I explained that we had called Babies 'R Us and they had told us that Toys 'R Us had four in stock. She sent a girl back to find it and we stepped aside so that the rest of the line could continue to go through the checkout. As we waited for about 25 minutes, we saw a girl come out with the changing table box on a dolly, go out around the checkouts and back into the stock room. After literally 25 minutes of waiting, Mark ended up going up to the customer service counter to ask if there was a problem. They said that they would check on it. On a minute later a girl came up and said, "Well they're back they're looking but only 3 of the 4 were scanned in so it might be a few more minutes." I asked what she meant and she said, "I don't know - thats just what they told me to tell you..." The three of us looked over and saw the girl coming back out with three changing tables on the dolly. She came up and said, "I'm so sorry, but I can't find the fourth one!" I said, "Fourth one?? We only need one..." She said, "Are you serious? They told me you wanted four so I've been back there looking for them this whole time!" We all laughed and we proceeded to finish checking out. I paid and then realized I couldn't find our back with the outfits and video games. We looked all over; well apparently one of the people who checked out while we were waiting had grabbed our bag off the counter by mistake and took off with it!!! Mark took the changing table out while 2 store clerks and I headed back to grab our items again! The manager was so apologetic, felt terrible and ended up giving us an extra $10 off our bill. So...we spent about an hour and a half in that store, but in the end, between the extra $10 off, coupons and rewards cards, we got our $100 changing table for $30!!! Ha!
I think that's about it for catching up these couple weeks. Next appointment is tomorrow and then we start 2 week appointments. Wow time flies...
