When questioned I just said, "Yeah, strange name, I don't know WHAT nationality she is!!"

I suspect they won't be on your side if you're making a scene and holding up the line.

Originally Posted By EighthDwarf I suspect they are charging for the embroidering (rather than raising the cost of the ears and offering "free" embroidery) because they would sell fewer hats if the price was increased signficantly. If the end result is that they embroider fewer hats but sell the same number, I think they will probably consider that a positive thing as they will have increased revenue and decreased expenses simultaneously. It's a business folks, not a charity. That's why they don't offer free admission, free parking and free bottled water either.

Originally Posted By piratebrittany I've managed to get lucky twice as far as personalization goes. When I graduated from high school I bought a pair of graduation ears and the CM embroidered NHS (my school's initials) on the cap. I think momma HAUNTS had to do some serious convincing though. The other time was in Fronteirland where they personalize leather goods. I convinced the CM that my cousin "Lovinity" really wanted one of the leather bracelets but I wasn't sure which color she would like more. After 15 minutes of debating and a phone call to her manager she put it on both the bracelets. Lovinity is actually an inside joke between me and Mr. PB. I felt pretty good after that. But back on topic, I think it's rediculous to charge $3 for embroidery. They already make so much money off of the "Build Your Own Ears" thing that I can't even see them needed to charge extra for standard embroidery. It would be really hard for me to want to buy any of the leather goods I love if they decided to charge extra for the engraving OR for etching any of the crysal goods.
