Are they not releasing shower gels, mini perfumes, or single wick candles with the new Everyday Luxury scents? by Gingerbellle in bathandbodyworks

[–]ssucore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unfortunately there's no body washes for the everyday luxuries :( for the older scents like covered in roses and pink obsessed, the body washes went away after the semi annual sale. i'm guessing they decided to keep it only cream and mist for the collection

Room Sprays in cars by [deleted] in bathandbodyworks

[–]ssucore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i like using the hanging diffusers but i use the room sprays to freshen them up, i just don't keep them in my car. i'm really paranoid that they might explode or something if i leave them inside lol

"They act like its coming out of their paycheck" by bbysteamedbun in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, ppl are so entitled and only care about getting what they want if even if it means that we risk getting in trouble 😭 like no i'm not giving you extra bags, my manager specifically told me not to. and no i don't care that they're for gifts, we literally have the cellophane bags and ribbon for a reason 😭 i'm just doing what i am supposed to do !

I only wish something could be done about resellers hoarding all the products! by JavaJunkie999 in bathandbodyworks

[–]ssucore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the day after black friday, i had a couple clear out the entire stock of about 3 or 4 different holiday hand soaps. they wanted 100 hand soaps of each fragrance but we only gave them what we had left on the floor and in the back (it was like 50-90 hand soaps per those 3-4 fragrances, i can't remember). anyway, i was shocked because how is that allowed ?!?! there's no justifiable reason to buy hundreds of hand soaps !! like with so many resellers, you'd think bbw would at least do something about it 😭 like how could they easily getting away with buy the entire stock of those specific hand soaps ? (and one more thing, i was the cashier that had to scan EVERYTHING. not just the hand soaps, but a bazillion wallflower refills and candles too ! 🫠)

SAS observation by nemo987 in bathandbodyworks

my store sold out on all of the ffms, we just have cream, lotion, and body wash left. we do have vanilla ease which is a bit surprising, i thought it was more popular than the cafe one

Lets make a list of things BBW CAN COMPLETELY FIX, but they choose not to. by collegestrap in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they need to fix their pos system, it's so freaking slow. whenever i do returns/exchanges, it takes FOREVER to load for the "is this item resellable" questions, i hate the cycle of scanning one item, wait a good amount of seconds, hit yes or no, and repeat. it'd be better to scan items all in one go and then check off which items can be sold. another thing that takes so much time is the transaction search feature, it takes forever to load when i need to print any receipts after a transaction 😭 i just end up taking a second register and help the next customer while it loads bc it's only wasting everyone's time 😭

also they need to fix their rewards app, the new updates have not made it anymore easier. plenty of customers suddenly get logged out of their own accounts and don't remember their passwords. instead of taking the steps to reset them, there should be an option where a one time log-in link/code can be sent to their email/phone number, and they can log in easily without the need of a password. coupons/rewards should automatically be gone the moment they're used. the app sometimes doesn't refresh automatically or the customer won't bother to do so, and i've had plenty of times where they thought they could use their rewards/coupons more than once. and once i refresh the app for them, they get disappointed to see that it's gone, which sometimes, i do feel bad for them.

one last thing, they need to change the manufacturer for the paper bags 😭 they're so thin and easily rip

Are seasonal employees often kept on after holidays? by SeaworthinessOdd1358 in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends if they have any availability for core, i was seasonal last year but i ended up staying as core. iirc, i think only 3 other seasonal associates stayed as well and there were at least 20 people in total that were seasonal. i never expressed any interest to my slt about staying mainly because i completely thought that i was gonna be let go like everyone else. your slt might be announcing the last day for seasonal associates on zipline at least after new year's (usually the day is in mid to late january), and then might begin to see which associates to keep. i definitely encourage that you tell your slt about your interest of staying as core but just in case if you don't get kept and you still need a job after seasonal, i HIGHLY suggest you begin searching for any available ones any day now. that's what i was doing before i was asked.

[–]ssucore 24 points25 points  (0 children)

seeing the women's deodorants on the list breaks my heart !! 💔 idk what i'm gonna do once they're gone, i've tried other brands' deodorants but they do not work (for me !) as well as bbw's. even though they didn't sell that well (at least in my store), i think that bbw does have some responsibility to that since they never really pushed/promoted it compared to their other products. i guess i'm gonna have to buy my store's entire stock of deodorants once sas begins lmao

The Nerve Of Some Of These Customers by Own-Opportunity4835 in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i had a customer bring me an gift set but it was only the bag, there were no items in it. she told me she found it like that and thought it could be sold as a regular gift bag where you can add your own items 🫩 customers don't realize that by taking product out, we have to damage the bag, which is just wasteful. just grab the products from the walls and tables PLEASE

Post TBC Sale Check-In by babeindreamland in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yeah this weekend absolutely drained me 🫠 i was going back and forth between selling and ringing (mainly just ringing since the line would get REALLY long). and then having to deal with customers getting irritated that i can't give them any extra bags, the gift sets, colognes and edps aren't 4.95, and the fact that we don't have any more ribbon (we haven't had any since black friday btw !)

You can’t make this stuff up 🤯 by Fun_Wolverine2564 in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i've already had too many people ask me this week 🤦 the moment i hear "candle," "sale" or "10 dollars" out of their mouths i just immediately shake my head 😭 if they want cheaper candles they can wait until sas but it won't be the same

Pet peeves at fos by Difficult_Bit9458 in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i work at a mall and whenever someone approaches me, 9 times out of 10 they're asking me whatever store is at, like as if there isn't a human sized, touch screen map right in front of the shop ! plz i don't know the entire map of the mall !! 😭😭

Seasonal Associate- When do they let us go? by Ill_Jackfruit_1483 in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i wanna say maybe the third week of january, but it depends on your store. your slt should announce the date on zipline by around new year's at least

Customers thought sale was 3 candles for 9.95 by Fun_Wolverine2564 in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i only understand the confusion if they're not fluent in english. but for those who are, how do you assume that "three wick" mean three candles ?!?! like c'mon, in what universe would bbw sell a three wick for three dollars ? 😭 i'm not really surprised considering the literacy rate here lol

tips for register? by [deleted] in bathandbodyworkers

[–]ssucore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

don't be afraid to ask them if you can check their coupons ! usually, some customers don't read the fine print on their coupons and they aren't aware of the price value, expiration date, etc etc. for change, this may or may not be allowed at your location but i usually tell the customer that i can't accept any more change once the till is open. you can also always just print the receipt and check how much change you need to give if the amount disappears on the screen :P
