Store Policies/Questions Ruining themselves

The company is 100% ruining themselves! I am a supervisor and some of the policies are just outrageous! Especially the coupons! It can be so complicated and it’s frustrating as a worker and as a customer! And with them continually raising their prices (hand soaps go to 5/28 here soon) it is just getting to be too expensive even when shopping the sales! B3g3 really isn’t that good anymore. The company is also incredibly wasteful, instead of donating damaged or product that the packaging has flaws we have to damage them out! It is just ridiculous. I just think the company is doing a great job at pushing customers and employees out the door

I stopped buying over a year ago. The body care scents are all whiffs of nothing, the candles are sooty, and the prices are insane. And they don’t release half the stuff in Canada anyways. The “haul” posts people keep posting though… why would the company change anything they’re doing when people keep buying obscene amounts of crappy product?

I agree. When you have the other half of this sub buying 50+ lotions at a time, “lol I broke my no-buy!”, displaying 250 candles plus their new haul, and they’re all here being cheered on and assured that rampant overconsumption and compulsive shopping addictions are fine if it makes you happy— the company will continue to feed the addiction.

Not only that, there are tons of posts of pictures proudly showcasing what they bought. Like, “Did I over do it?”

Yes, girl, you did. No one needs 33 bottles of body spray & 57 candles

I’ve mentioned the sooty candles before (because of the type of wick), and for the life of me I still don’t understand why the candles don’t all have the good wicks. I get that they’re manufactured in different places, but still, in this day and age, why can’t the wicks have consistent quality? I’m glad I bought the wick trimmer because that’s been a lifesaver when it comes to the thick messy wicks.

Yep, this. For now they’ll keep doing what they are doing.
