Is it weird to be reviewing a Bath and Body Works? Or to seek out a specific location to review? Ok well, I'm doing it anyway.
My hubby and I went to the mall last weekend to just wander and browse. It's cold out, gets dark early and there's just not much to do. So here we are.
We walked up to the front of this store, keep in mind we haven't entered yet, and immediately are greeted by one of three women waiting at the front. Ok fine, I'll say hi and no thanks I don't need a bag and no thanks I don't want to hear about the special deals. Leave me alone I'm literally just here to smell candles (kidding), but really it was a little much when we're still technically not in the store.
Our mistake was walking further into the store, where the remaining two associates proceeded to give us the same speech, "hi, are you looking for anything? Need a bag? Did you know about our sales?". I'm sure they're trained to do this but ohmyGOODness you're selling lotion and candles I'm fully capable of browsing on my own.
This may feel very rant-y, and you're right because it is. But keep in mind there are literally several other Bath and Body Works locations at this mall alone. Plus a Body Shop or any other options. I get they're aiming for service-friendly, but there's a balance and a high-pressure sales pitch is just not going to do it for me. read more
