I used to be a big fan of Bed Bath and Beyond, but they stopped carrying the products I like to buy, which is why I had no idea what they had in the stores recently and stupidly bought underwear that I needed. I have had the gift card for years for this reason. I knew it was then or never, as I have no time to shop. I happened to be in the area for some other reason and saw that the store was closing, and I panicked. I have been extremely busy and knew the gift card would be a loss. Someone else commented that I should I have used it before the store closed. I would never have bought anything in a store in such a chaotic state, but I had that darn gift card. I usually never go to liquidation sales, so I had no idea what was going on but everyone else I talked to in the store was also confused. Thank you for teaching me about the liquidation business. I honestly didn't know I was on an employee part of Reddit and inadvertently offended everyone. Thank you so much for your informative and respectful reply. I would like to know if it is standard practice to use a big company's store name and store to sell products of other companies going out of business. In fact, they were asking me what I thought about the "deals." I don't think people know about the liquidation business. I spoke to several people in the store, and we were in awe about the prices corresponding to junk, and nobody suggested that these were not Bed Bath and Beyond products. If it is true that all bankruptcy cases do this sort of thing, I think consumers should be made aware of it, that's all. I used a gift card for much of it and have contacted my credit card company for the rest.
I don't care about my stupid defective underwear. My issue is that consumers are getting fooled. I didn't know that Bed Bath and Beyond, or any business going out of business as you say, brings in knock-offs and defective merchandise to sell to unwary consumers who think the products are actually Bed Bath and Beyond inventory. I'm sorry I sound very naive, but I thought when a business closes, they sell their current inventory to recoup their losses of buying such inventory. Learn better communication skills or don't post online. This is people reacting to your tone and you arguing about it. An honest reaction to your self-entitlement. Nobody here is defending Bed Bath and Beyond, unless they're defending the employees you also bothered with this. All it's done is offend or amuse the people that saw it. You're right that your post does nothing to BBBY. But wait, you covered that in the comments. Whined like a child.Īll you're missing is an insult to one of the employees or maybe some statement of how something was illegal to land yourself in top-tier Karen status. Called out specific stores, whose employees are either out of a job or soon to be. Most employees would have either ignored you or been sympathetic. Call it a donation.Īn informative post because you want to share what happened so it doesn't happen to someone else should have looked very different. This is outrageous and must be changed! You don't hear about CEOs paying billions of their own money when the business they led goes bankrupt! This is corporate abuse to the working and middle class! Let's all complain about this! Meanwhile, if you have the ability to, how about going to Bed Bath and Beyond's closing-out sales and buying as much as you can to lessen the burden on the store managers. In a strange twist, by me stubbornly refusing to back down from what I perceived as normal hostility on this site, I learned that store managers must pay from their own personal funds for any items that are unsold by the closing date.
Because I don't know anything about Reddit, I posted to this community thinking it was about anything to do with Bed Bath and Beyond, but as the comments came in, I found out this is an employee community and pissed off everyone! I am so sorry. Sorry for offending everyone with my original post! I rushed to create an account and post for the first time because I wanted to warn others that liquidators are using Bed Bath and Beyond's name to sell defective junk that is not from Bed Bath and Beyond's inventory.
