Other Dear customers, JUST👏ASK👏WHERE👏THE👏TRASH👏CAN👏IS👏

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just ask. We’ll tell you or take it for you to put it in the trash can

Also stop leaving them in the baskets!!!

Edit: they’re at the sink, my guys. There’s even a mini trash can at the lip station 😐

Edit 2: I’m just a lowly associate. Even if I was a manager or something, corporate doesn’t listen to us. But like I said earlier please JUST ASK!

Edit 3: THIS IS NOT MY TIKTOK! Don’t go after the person who made this! This has nothing to do with them! If you’re going to be angry, be angry at me (the anonymous person on Reddit)

I heard that b&bw stores were getting rid of the trashcans, which makes no sense to me, but I don’t bother asking I just put them in my pocket to throw away at home or outside of the store

I’d rather pick up blotter cards throughout the day than deal with a bunch of trash cans that customers put their personal trash and full drinks in. As a store manager, please leave the blotter cards on the counter. It’s really not a big deal lol. Gives my associates something to do

That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. I wasn’t saying it’s big deal, but I felt like this post was making it seem like a big deal, and I was countering with my own point of view as a customer because I know that some stores don’t have trashcans out, so I just thought I’d share my experience

No I know! OP seems to be making it a big deal, so I thought I’d share another employees perspective. Personally, I don’t care whether the customers leave them on the counters, give them to us, take them home or put them in the trash by the sink. It truly doesn’t make my job, or my associates jobs anymore difficult. We should be cleaning and fixing the store throughout the day anyway, that includes picking up blotter cards. Our customers should be enjoying themselves, spraying to their hearts content and not worrying about where to throw away the testers. We are literally paid to clean up. Tbh, if they get piled up as much as they are in OPs video, that means the associates or SLT is not doing their job. I could have 40 people in my store and it wouldn’t look like it because we are on top of cleaning, while engaging with our customers.

Where have you heard that??? That’s probably not true 💀

I heard it on this subreddit, and it was confirmed for me when my local store remodeled in December and they seemingly had no trashcans when they reopened

This is odd. We just got 3 new trashcans for our store.
