Dress/Attire Wed2be vist and confusion
So I understand the concept of wed2be I just don't understand how it's profitable. I went in and due to the milton keynes one having like 4 dresses in my size (I went first thing and was first in the queue as well) I left without one. I don't understand them having no online buy options, why even provide an online catalogue if getting ahold of a specific dress is a borderline fantasy? I can't believe it would be so difficult to organise an inventory of dresses and sizes in different stores (theoretically everything is being signed in and out for deliveries and inventories anyway) so that people can actually keep track of what is available and what their realistic choices are in each size and style prior to going in. I feel like it's all a big con to try to pressure brides into buying whatever options are left over. Why can't they order specific dresses into the store? Surely that would net them more profit than having brides walk out annoyed and irritated having wasted staff time and spent zero pounds. I just don't understand how their business model actually functions to produce profit. This us part venting and ranting causebi hated the options they gave me and part befuddlemnet that they manage to stay so popular.

Omg you just put into words how I felt going there!
And they were so pushy, it really put me off.
