Home Depot sucks!

Can anyone tell me if this is 2008, or I have somehow been transported in time back to 1982?
Rick and I have madly been trying to get our wedding invitations out, which of course have a little insert that say where we are registered. My friend Jenica is registered at Home Depot and I thought "What a great idea!". Rick and I have so much stuff and we are in desperate need for some home improvements, so we thought that was a perfect solution. I wanted to get all of our registering done before wedding invitations went out so if someone decided they wanted to look at our registries they would be all done and updated. We registered at Macy's and Target and did online honeymoon registry (which is awesome!) at www.honeyfund.com. So all that was left was Home Depot. So we went Thursday night and the girl at the counter told us that we were the first people to ask to do bridal registry in the 2 years she'd been working there. She took forever to get us all entered in the computer (they don't have a kiosk like everywhere else) and when she was finally done she said "ok you're all set!" and I said "ok, well how do we get what we want into the registry?" She was completely clueless and called a manager over, who printed us out a piece of paper and said we had to walk around the store and write down all the SKU's of the things we wanted and bring it back to them and they'd enter it into the computer. It wouldn't be available online and if we wanted people to be able to shop from other stores they'd have to know the store number of which store we registered at. So this is where I ask what year this is. Does Home Depot not realize the disgusting amount of money to be made for wedding registry? And secondly, who wants their customers to walk around and hand write down all the items they want? The whole thing was ridiculous so we just decided to bag it. So to make a long story short, we are not registering at Home Depot, because not only was that quite the debacle, but now they won't let you register online anymore at all either, which they used to do. And Lowe's doesn't do registry either. So please be aware that we aren't registered at Home Depot and spread the word if you happen to think of it. If you're really wanting to buy us a gift, and really wanted to go to Home Depot, we would be very happy with gift cards.
In other registry news: now Target will not allow you to exchange ANYTHING without a gift receipt. What is the problem here? These stores are making SO much money off weddings and now they won't even exchange things? So please, if you think of it, for us and for any other people you buy gifts for: don't forget the gift receipt!
Can I just say that I am SO over all this dumb wedding stuff that I have to do? Finals are killing me and I am definitely feeling overwhelmed.
Ok, I think I've ranted long enough.
We are off to meet Baby Eva Hall today, go to a going away party for some of Rick's friends and then Alison's 30th birthday tonight. It's always something :)
