Not Meant to Be: A Registry Tale

Many moons ago, Mr. Pencils and I wanted to have the "registry experience." I required requested that we swing by one of the locations we had planned to register at to do so in person.

...

It was a rainy Saturday night in October, and Mr. and Ms. Pencils had just eaten a classy meal of Subway.  They entered their local Target with all intentions of creating their first round of registering.  Little did they know that a Saturday night was perhaps the worst time to register.  Many hours before, during daylight, countless couples had spent their days registering at this very store, ringing up panini presses, towels, hampers, and other home goods.

This manifested itself in Mr. and Ms. Pencils going through one, then two, then three, then four, and finally FIVE separate registry scanners.  Each one would work long enough to scan two items and kaput. Dead from lack of battery.

After two hours of fail after fail, the Pencils were resolute: do your registering online.

What's your registry advice?
