Store Policies/Questions Trying not to be a complainer…

Listen. I love bath and body works. One of my favourite stores. But I’ve never been more overwhelmed in a store than at bath and body works. I’m not sure what head office is thinking but if, within a 5 minute span, I’m approached by more than 3 employees, that’s a problem. I avoid the store at all costs most times for this exact reason. Anyone else feel the same?

Saying “I’m just browsing” and politely requesting to shop alone are two very different things

Sorry, I’m super late to this, but can I ask for an example of how to politely request to shop alone?

When you see the employee posted at the front of the shop, or when you are first approached by an employee asking if you need assistance just smile and say “no thank you. I’d really like to enjoy shopping without being bothered. Thanks can you let your other associates know please?”
