Transparency:
while
I
consistently
seek
the
good
in
most
everything,
the
Bay
is
no
longer
the
wonderful
shopping
experience
it
once
was.
I
visited
a
physical
Bay
store
today,
after
3+
months
of
miserable
experience
trying
to
buy
and
send...
a
$100
Bay
gift
card,
online...
to
a
couple
duly
registered
...
In
the
Bay's
official
wedding
registry...
to
repeatedly
find...
each
time
(and
only
after
re
entering
all
the
info
and
pressing
pay)
that
the
Bay
is
consistently
out
of
stock
of
their
own
Bay
gift
cards!?!?!?
And
calling
the
Bay
customer
service
phone
reps
confirms
they
are
based
somewhere
else
in
the
world
and
have
no
interest
or
access
tools
to
help.
Finally,
seeking
in
person
support,
I
physically
went
into
this
Bay
store,
a
landmark
location
in
Toronto
(Yonge+
Steeles).
Even
after
I
showed
them
clear
screen
shots
of
the
Bay
wedding
registry
payment
screen,
showing
the
out
of
stock
gift
card,
for
3
months...
there
was
zero
interest
to
help.
Why?
Because
they
claimed
this
Bay
store
has
no
access
to
the
Bay
wedding
registry!
They
suggested
I
go
to
ANOTHER
Bay
store,
'in
case
they
had
access'
?!?!?
If
none
of
this
is
making
sense,
imagine
what
3+
months
of
this
feels
like!!!
After
declaring
I'd
escalate
this,
someone
came
from
behind
the
cashiers
to
say
she'd
help
if
I
could
give
them
the
registry
#.
I
referred
them
back
to
the
Bay
screen
shots
which
had
been
displayed
to
them
this
entire
time,
but
none
they
found,
had
the
registry
#.
The
screen
shots
clearly
did
show
the
wedding
party
name,
my
name
and
my
Bay
rewards
account
#.
So
now,
we
had
achieved
nothing
after
20
minutes
into
the
in-store
episode
of
this
Bay-created
and
Bay-fueled
fiasco.
Minutes
later,
while
I
was
frantically
still
fumbling
with
my
phone
to
search
for
the
registry
#,
yet
another
store
person
showed
up,
with
a
printed
copy
of
the
correct
registry,
and
a
Bay
gift
card.
So
3
months
and
much
aggravation
later,
with
still
zero
explanation
or
empathy
from
anyone
at
the
Bay,
I
paid
for
the
$100
gift
card,
but
now
am
on
my
own
to
get
it,
embarrassingly
late,
to
the
now-married
3
months
couple,
in
Montreal.
Respectfully,
I
will
think
twice
about
shopping
at
the
Bay.
