Build a Bear - con?

Anyone else with a DD (or DS) who loves this shop?

They have this thing where the cuddly toys are barcoded and the child has to enter their email address onto a computer so if the teddy is lost it can be traced back to them - oh yeah and they then bombard your DCs account with lots of direct marketing junk emails...

Oh and they are pretty hard sell in the shop, eg (to DD) 'do you want a beating heart/voicebox for your bear?' (at £4 each!) - and 'Don't forget pants for your teddy' - £3 a pair - I don't pay that for mine! You end up feeling quite mean only buying the bear!

Grrr - it's on a par with McDonalds!
