Barcode Scanner Offline

When my fiancee and I went to the first @Home (Wonderpark) store (18th April) to add items to our gift registry we were told that the scanners were not working and that we should try a different @Home. So a while later (23rd April) we tried the @Home at Menlyn, to be told again that the scanners were not working. So we tried the @Home at Fourways Mall 3 days later (26th April), to be told for the third time that the scanners were not working.<br> <br> While every time the staff were very pleasant and apologetic, it was frustrating to have wasted our time 3 times. Surely there must have been multiple couples turned away from adding to their gift registry during this period?<br> <br> We will be trying again on Friday 1st May at Cresta. We would very much like to utilise @Home's services, but if the scanners are still not working we will have to move our gift registry.
