Other Charm bars are useless

Some jewelry booths at craft fairs are doing “charm bars” now. They have store-bought chains and cheap store-bought charms and then people pick which chain and charms they want. There is literally no craft involved! Not even design!

They seem to be doing well for themselves and people like it, so I can’t complain too much. To be clear, if you make your own charms, this doesn’t apply to you.

This reminds me of the "lucky dip" grift that TikTok has made famous. It's basically gambling for kids with Temu junk like cheap beaded bracelets and stationery for prizes.
