    GinAndTonic Got Stuck in the BarneyMadeleine Davies

    I love to shop, but I don't get any pleasure from buying cleaning supplies or towels, man. Dropping $200 at BB&B [read in Abbi's voice] will never be as fun as spending that money at Sephora.

      Secondeeeeeedddd. No wait, actually I fucking *adore* towels and cleaning supplies (Caldrea Black Coriander and Lime laundry stuff, omg). But makeup definitely trumps, and also I loathe Bed Bath & Bullshit. There isn't a single item in that store that you can't find elsewhere, of better quality, for less. They're the WORST.

      See, I'm the opposite. If I get a $30 mascara or something I think "that could have been x home item!"

    Ugh. As a former retail worker, I feel bad for the employees who are going to have to explain this policy change to very angry shitty asshole customers. Despite signs. Fuck.

      That was my first thought as well. People don't read signs or handouts. Those employees are gonna get screamed at.

    I wonder what the Beyond part would like at the Bed, Bath and Beyond store in Welcome to Night Vale. You know Cecil is all about those 20% coupons.

      1.) Moisturizing leave-in hair treatment (Carlos' fav)
      2.) Toilet brush (for when the wheat and wheat by-products ravage your intestinal tract)
      3.) Soothing candle (for during the station renos by Strexcorp)
      4.) Canvas picture of Desert Bluffs (on clearance)

    I know someone who registered there for her wedding, returned all the gifts for cash, then re bought what she really wanted using the 20% coupons. She got presents and earned money. Simultaneously incredibly shitty and impressive.

      When my sisters and I were very young, our mother made the mistake of trying to wean us off of our shitty gift-giving (e.g., 8" high plastic Grecian topiaries with blue sweetheart roses from Kress's, no lie) by telling us she liked Reese's Peanut Butter cups. Well, she got buried under a landslide of those things (there were three of us kids, the poor thing) on every gift-giving occasion for about four or five years thereafter, 'til we were approaching the age of reason and could show some mercy. It's going on fifty years and she still cannot abide Reeses or the combination of chocolate and peanut butter in any form at any time, ever.

      That bride is going to pay for her manipulativeness with a lifetime of getting the same crap she registered for, and her children will get next-generation equivalent useless crap as well. And it couldn't happen to a nicer person. "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."

      Not being sarcastic - why is this shitty?

      Depending on age and income, I would actually want my gift to count for $XX + 20% towards the new household. Admittedly, my view is impacted by the fact that I am solidly middle-class in a family with some very poor members and some very rich members.

    So, if I bought something on sale, I could return it for a refund of full price, if I pretended not to have a receipt? Part of me wish I had known. I assume 20% off is their normal sale.

      It will probably be off the most recent price of the item. Stores like Macy's, offer the lowest selling price on unreciepted returns.

      I've since learned from some of the other threads that they constantly distribute 20% coupons, so the same theory applies.

      There is a BBB where I currently live and I know that I've bought a couple of things from them, especially when we were setting up this house, but other places they were always more than an hour away and I've never noticed their coupons.

      The sound of pampered white ladies complaining at the returns checkout at the BB&B on 60th is awkwardly something that just fills me with joy. their completely delusional requests, refusal to understand basic logic, and inherit belief their concerns are better dealt with by someone higher up is hilarious.

      The last time I was there one lady was super upset she couldn't return a box of opened formula. No matter that it's a health risk, She had decided she would be changing formulas mid-box opening. Demanded to speak to manager after being told it was a health code violation to accept. then asked for the managers supervisor.

        I would cringe because I've been the employee who's had to deal with shit like that, while getting paid just above minimum wage.

      is BBB going to keep on sending out unsolicited coupons, though?

      What a weird business model!

        But a brilliant one. I wait and wait until I need things and have the right number of coupons then go to town. My BBB has a drug store minus the prescription part. The prices are pretty much the same as every where else (sometimes a bit cheaper) and THEN 20% off. Nobody's giving you 20% off tampons anywhere else.
