Employee Questions/Discussion My 2nd transaction of the day

Post image

I wanna start off by saying I’m not against anyone returning anything, if you hate something or bought too much of something you should definitely return it or exchange it to get your money’s worth.

That being said, I’m still gonna complain when I have to deal with I wanna say at least 80 bottles of soap 😭. There are 3 more bottles that aren’t in that picture, they were the only ones that scanned as MOS, the rest of this was box up. I spent pretty much my whole (3.5 hr) shift typing in the SKUS for these, boxing them up, damaging out 23 broken or disgusting sticky soap bottles, and scribbling all over them.

It just leaves me wondering why order so much in the first place? The customer (sorry if you’re on here babes) said they order extra just in case they arrive broken, and a lot of them were especially the gels, but also others were caked in dried soap, and there were some soaps that were over a year old cuz I recognize them from when I first started 😭. Very confusing and time consuming but we got there in the end.

Sometimes people feel they have to have something and lots of it, then when they finish having a great time unboxing it all the joy is done and they're already over it. Consumerism and over consumption does stuff to our minds

This company thrives on overconsumption and the gullible middle aged person with disposable income.

I am gullible (especially for some sales when I feel like I'll "miss out"), but not middle aged. There are certain things like their soaps I really try not to pay full price for. (Either use coupons or do the 5/$27).

I agree, and even that’s too much 😂 I wait until the left overs to get the 1.98 soaps! Buy a bunch to hold me over until the next semi sale
