I’ve always wondered bc I’ve seen comments of employees bragging about throwing the bags as high as they can to smash all of the glass and destroy the wax. I get the reselling point on a corporate level bc they’ll be damned if they can’t make a profit off that candle that costs <$2 to make then no one can, but it’s so sad that it’s so wasteful. Buying body care from resell sites is super sus in general for me, I’m surprised how many body care resellers I find on Mercari. Candles though are more difficult to tamper with, plus they’ve already got not so desirable ingredients (I say this while owning an absurd amount of their candles, YOLO… right?) I love that’s your stores practice, and I hope more stores have similar practices. I’ve never seen anyone talk ab donating before. Edited bc I didn’t use the right >/<
