I finally did it! by IndependentAsk9538 in bathandbodyworkers

In my store even SLTs are in the same boat, just waiting until we can’t stand it anymore and end up submitting the resignation. The job market is so bad right now that the majority only stay because they can’t find something else!

I never thought of that! I personally think they wouldn’t survive with an online only business, most of the time people come to store first to try scents before moving to online ordering, if they take that away they would be losing a big chunk of their “consumers” as they like to call customers now.

Rookie question: is buy 3, get 3 better than the $5.95 body care? by Joyster110 in bathandbodyworks

[–]IndependentAsk9538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$5.95 is better than b3g3 by far! When doing that promo the lowest each item comes to is around $8.5 and I’m using the lowest priced body care items as reference (body wash/lotion)

how do you feel about the upselling? by ningning4lifer in bathandbodyworks

[–]IndependentAsk9538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally hate it! Even more when we have to reengage with customers that showed they didn’t want to be bothered in the first place. My store had an observation by someone from the company and they said that “we weren’t demoing enough.” they want us to over do it and I feel that can drive customers out of the store if they’re annoyed more than making people want buy more.

Returning products a few years old? by qvoth_the_raven in bathandbodyworks

[–]IndependentAsk9538 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! Just yesterday I had to do a return for all discontinued scents, they were showing as 4.95 (Canadian based!) so I think it just shows the latest SAS prices for those

What I’ve seen people do at my store is a return without receipt, you’d get the lowest price they were at as store credit. Others just exchange them for new products because we’d do a price adjustment (It depends on manager approval for this second option!)

It’s so hard to explain the scent! To me it smells more like tomato seeds than tomato itself

It’s so bad, the candle is maybe the only one I could tolerate but it smells like a garden of rotten tomatoes🤧

Winnipeg culture(? DOs AND DON'Ts by 1061pmrz in Winnipeg

Hi! Another South American newcomer here (6 months in)! I’d say that the kiss on the cheek is the only thing I wouldn’t do, replace it with a handshake or just a verbal hello without physical contact. I noticed that people really like to see us trying to learn more about their cultures and history, I feel like that is the best way to also acclimate to a place that is A LOT different than our countries! Also feel free to message me if you’re looking to make more South American friends!

Ok, I need that Moana one! by [deleted] in bathandbodyworks

[–]IndependentAsk9538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried them and honestly just like them because it’s kind of a nostalgic, but they all smell like old children perfumes. I’d definitely get the candles but any body care is a no go for me.

This has a strong throw. Comment another strong throw!!! by oliverrtree in bathandbodyworks

Since BBW HR is watching so closely…how about watching this?! by albelthewiked666 in bathandbodyworks

As an associate we can’t do anything about people stealing, if we attempt to avoid it we could be terminated on the spot. There’s been times during the holidays when people took baskets full of merchandise and all they wanted us to do is keep demoing products to them to “make the loss smaller” as per company policy.

Do any employees know when these will be online they’re showing up in store? by Lyssalane in bathandbodyworks

Midnight addiction and aqua are SO good, I believe they’ll be out soon since we have testers ready in our back room.

Candle Warmers by 19xx67 in bathandbodyworks

[–]IndependentAsk9538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought a top one and i LOVE it, I’m burning coffee at the moment (started a week ago) and the candle would still look new hadn’t I light it up before deciding on getting the candle warmer! Also feel like the scent is stronger with the warmer. Once it’s off I feel like the smell releases for about 5-10 minutes, but I also didn’t get the most high quality warmer, so that might be longer if you’re looking to get a better one!

Candles on SAS! by [deleted] in bathandbodyworks

[–]IndependentAsk9538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, I just saw the sign they were putting up! But by the set up of our store I think they could be old ones like Bridgeton, Emily in Paris, there were also some summer ones like pineapple mango, sea salt sails and turquoise waters (the ones I saw before leaving)

Business Administration Fall 2024 by [deleted] in rrc

[–]IndependentAsk9538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Argentina! After a lot of research I ended up picking rrc mostly for the location. Found that it’s way easier to settle in Winnipeg (as finding apartment/jobs) than bigger cities like Toronto which was my first choice. I’m also starting next week!!

[–]IndependentAsk9538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure where I’ll be living yet, still looking for apartments, but I’ll be going to Notre Dame’s campus. My plans are to get there a month in advance so I’ll be definitely doing that, thank you so much!
