Bath & Body Works — Attraction in Greenbelt

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE: Went in for a simple exchange and had the displeasure of interacting with JEANNETTE - sales associate - short hair - . She seemingly went out of her way to try to make a simple transaction - purchased online for store pick up - went back with original email confirmation— difficult.

I personally don’t shop their because BABW staff was trying to accuse me of shoplifting. I promptly walked out the store. Hell no..and never stepped foot again since and that was...

It's said Virgos are creatures of habit, so to that end, Bath & Body Works does not play well to my need for consistency in product offerings. I've loved far too many B&BW offerings that ended up discontinued (see: Sea Island Cotton, Moonlight Path, Thankful from their Aromatherapy line, Noir from their men's care line, etc)... so I'm starting to fall back on makers and lines that I can count on to be around for the longer term to be part of my regimen. Gotta accept B&BW isn't the settling-down type, enjoy the occasional fling with their stuff while it's around, and not get...
