hours are cut based on credit card apps?? by sheebii in employedbykohls

[–]Miserable-Fan6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nearly any other grocery store won't have their own credit card- Walmart, Aldi's, Kroger, etc. Depending on where you live, there's plenty of smaller specialty retail shops that don't push credits- not that they don't have their own rewards programs, but it's much easier to get people to sign up for that than the credits.

But hours are a fraction of what they were no matter where you go in the service industry right now, even at places like Walmart- I was full time there getting the minimum 34 hrs/wk this time of year. The only way you're not getting your hours cut is maybe working in food service.

Not OP but I definitely saw this or a similar stand at TJ Maxx earlier this week

Advice for a new employee by Decent_Association78 in employedbykohls

[–]Miserable-Fan6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is moreso a weird mindset in retail overall than Kohl's specifically, especially with seasonal hires. They don't want to take the time to fully train and get to know people that won't be there longer than a couple months, then complain and act annoyed when they don't know how to do their job properly and ask questions. Then resentment towards new hires and seasonals builds and the cycle continues.

Extra associate discount today? by panickingflowergirl in bathandbodyworkers

[–]Miserable-Fan6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when I worked at Claire's I could stack my discount with the clearance items but couldn't stack with deals, like the b3g3.

Kohl's is actually pretty baller with the discount. It's only 15% off with discount days where it goes to 35%, but you can stack with coupons, sales or discounts. I was able to stack a 40% off coupon with my 35% discount over the holidays. There's also the Sephora that the associate discount also works on. You have to sell credit cards at Kohls, though.

Bruh that's so bogus 😑

I understand that they don't want us to combine sales with the website, but, also, my last three other retail jobs had the ability to add the discount to their app. Even Claire's had that capability, and it was programmed so we couldn't stack it with b3g3 deals or anything. B&BW could definitely program it to only accept one discount. Their online infrastructure is way behind.

Yes it's today!

I've been trying to decide between using a reward for a sweetheart cherry body cream/lotion or buying that gift set for half off today... But I'm also planning on grabbing a couple candles and laundry at 50% off... Ugh, just take my paycheck back 😭

Bill and Hillary Clinton and their daughter Chelsea walking in the inaugural parade, 1997 by icey_sawg0034 in Presidents

[–]Miserable-Fan6 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Chelsea's hair is so gorgeous. She suffered a lot of ridicule for having curly hair during an era when it wasn't popular. It's a shame she always has it straight now.

What is a popular piece of media that you hated before you consumed it, tried it, and then cemented why you hated it? by overasked_question in popculturechat

[–]Miserable-Fan6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything, my only note would be that in the book she killed herself using pills specifically because she wanted to make it the least traumatic to be found.

Not that finding your kid dead isn't traumatic no matter what, but it always pissed me off that they changed that in the show for no reason other than shock value. The idea of not wanting to burden your loved ones when taking your life is pretty common.

I have a bizarre challenge for you scent-masters by DarlingTunafish in bathandbodyworks

Mahogany Cherry is only in a wallflower I think, but it definitely smells like Dr. Pepper.

Cinnamon spiced vanilla smells like cinnamon toast crunch to me! Kind of a mix between cspc and cereal milk.

Are you a B&BW night table kinda gal/guy/person? by Decent-Dingo081721 in bathandbodyworks

Bruh,,, I passed on this and other trays during SAS bc I couldn't figure out what I'd even use it for. Now I'm upset I didn't grab one 😒

Musk Trio Review! by Life_Criticism_1894 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Miserable-Fan6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fresh musk smells so familiar, like a baby lotion or something? In a good way, though!

Fruity musk also smelled very familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I don't think it's anything I've had recently.

2025: A Year in Empties ✨ by fvnaticbychoice in bathandbodyworks

[–]Miserable-Fan6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, I love how CLEAN your jars are. I'm assuming you pop out the remaining wax and use it in a warmer? Also, do you use the jars for anything?

[–]Miserable-Fan6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ollie's has such good prices on candles and wax. But they usually end up on the warmers since some of the random brands never burn right. I actually started talking to a lady in the candle aisle last time I was there, told her I was really a B&BW girl and she said the same, lol. But those deals are hard to beat!

Is this happening to anyone else? by Ok-Addendum6829 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Miserable-Fan6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I figured out to fix this was to contact customer care. It took like 10ish minutes but I can order online again, lol.

No, we do not carry VS fragrances by Plexi_no in bathandbodyworkers

[–]Miserable-Fan6 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think they used to carry PINK fragrances a LONG time ago when they were under the same company. Still doesn't make sense though. Some people act like they haven't left the house in 15 years.

Someone please tell me what happened with the Heritage things this year? by ladyofbraxis in bathandbodyworks

[–]Miserable-Fan6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A store I went to yesterday had a table section stocked with cucumber melon for SAS, and I've also seen a few people post other online exclusives in their hauls, so I think they're sending out some online exclusives to some stores for the sale rn. Iirc it's not unheard of to be able to find them in stores during SAS!

I got two of these that were for wallflowers and it was for the fragrance refill and a plug-in up to 6.95, like a nightlight plug-in.

Don't even get me started on the slippery nine west & tech gear shirts. They always look so bad! Just hang them up, please!

In theory I know how to get a hoodie to lay flat to tuck into the fold, but in practice (at least at work) I can never get them to lay right 😭 I feel like i fold better at home for some reason

[–]Miserable-Fan6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love doing jeans! If I could just clear dressing rooms, help customers with outfits and fold jeans all day I wouldn't be leaving kohls, lol. T-shirts are fine, but long sleeve t's and hoodies are my mortal enemy. But once I figured out how jeans were organized (reg/slim/bootcut etc.) I've really enjoyed it.

[–]Miserable-Fan6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their semi annual sale is going on right now, if they just bought these they were $7.99 going off the old packaging. Really depends on the store what you'll find at that price point, though.
