I do think the selection has always been great, and I appreciate the emphasis on supporting local work, although that also seems to have changed a bit since the change. It is a pricey location for most things, but I do always enjoy seeing what is in the store, the card selection is consistently excellent, and it is a great place to find a gift!

I recently visited the Bath and Body Works store located in the Crossgates Mall. I'm actually a bit…read moreof a fan of the company and frequent the one we have at our mall back home. This time around, we were in the road in Albany and I was looking to buy some body spray for myself and some lotions and whatnot for my kids. Unfortunately, my experience at this location was terrible. Upon entering the store, I was unable to find the body spray I wanted and one of my daughter's had a question about a product. Hoping to get some assistance, I approached one of the employees who was standing near one of the displays. To my dismay, the associate's behavior was unbelievably obnoxious. After saying hi to her, the associate made no effort to respond and didn't even ask what I wanted. She just gave me a disdainful look like I was offending her with my presence. When I explained my issue and requested help in finding the body spray, she rolled her eyes and walked away without providing an explanation as to what she was doing. I thought she was leaving. I returned to browsing and looking for the spray, but after a short while, the associate returned with the item I had been searching for. Obviously that's great. However, her disrespectful behavior continued. I wanted to express my gratitude, so like most adult human beings do, so I said "thanks". However, the associate didn't respond yet again. Instead, she rolled her eyes, as if me speaking to her was some sort of an inconvenience. Again I said "thank you" and she just walked away. I was like, WTF did I just witness?? As a result of this associate's appalling behavior and attitude, I made the decision not to make any purchases and just left the store. Why spend cash at a place where the staff is nasty? Forget about it.

Thankfully she doesn't buy, or burn, these things in our house - I think she uses them at her sister's only - otherwise I'd have a migraine all the time.

So if you want to pay $80 for a cotton print tablecloth, in theory you can be helping the world out. Oh, the problems in execution, though. They can't really tell you how much of the money goes back to the native craftspeople, nor much about the sourcing or labor conditions. It's like Fair Trade coffee - you have to take somebody's word for it, and the word is passed along by the telephone game. I'd actually be willing to do this on faith if the crafts and items here were really unique or even to my taste, but they seem a bit mass-produced to me and without the hallmarks of individual craftsmen, so I'm not only not terribly interested in the goods but I'm highly suspicious of the general claims. This may seem a bit scroogey of me, but I think on the whole if I want to stimulate development in the third world I'll extend a microloan over the internet (very direct and very cost-effective) or buy somebody a share of a goat. I would normally just settle on the usual three stars, given my cynical skepticism above, but the hideously steep prices push it from "would go back and check it out occasionally" to "not going to bother" territory.
