I went to bath and body works in Naperville store #1821 i must give kudos to the associate that helped me, her name is Tanika, she was AMAZING.!!! She worked with me took her time with me even though i was a bit harsh and difficult she held a great demeanor and positive attitude. To me she deserves some type of recognition.

First - Nowhere on your website - except to "File a Complaint" can an email be sent. Very frustrating. "Send Us An Email" takes you to your canned FAQs.
Second - The music in the Watauga TX and Southlake TX stores is so obnoxiously loud that both the customer and the store personnel have to yell is order to be heard/understood. When I inquired of the Store Manager at each of the locations if they could lower it, was told they had no control it was up to Corporate. This has completely changed my frequency and method of shopping in these locations. I go in when I know what I want, when the store is about empty and try to get in and out ASAP. I no longer browse or look to see what is new.
Third - It seems that now, if you don't have a receipt for a product your get a standard $5. In the past, was able to exchange for a like product. I understand not being able to swap a lotion for a scrub, etc. But like product should be able to be exchanged for like products. And, this also depends on the clerk. Some let you exchange others don't. I was insulted when someone told me I must have had this hanging around a long time before I brought it in. In fact, it was a Christmas gift and I brought it in within 2 to 3 weeks. I am not in the habit of asking people how long they had this product in their possession prior to giving to me.

I have used your products for years and used to enjoy walking around and trying different things. Shopping should be a pleasure not an assault on the ears and credaibility of the customer.

Thank you for your time and I suggest the "Send an email" on your Website actually let the customer do that.

Was virtually ignored by Latin man who worked at one of the stores. Was in the middle of asking a question when I finally got his attention, only to be by passed when a Latin woman came in and rudely interrupted. He proceeded to walk away with her giving her all kinds of info leaving me in the dust. The woman walked out without buying a thing and I, after helping myself bought quite a few items. I will Never go back to the store in question.

Cashier: 1403603 was so not helpful or friendly that I was appalled and I believe she was the Manager. My issue is when you see a regular customer going through their email to find a coupon etc for their purchase. Rather than push their order to the side so you can take the next person in line. How about assisting the regular customer by asking questions to help them find what they’re looking for. It wasn’t just me either another older woman had the same issue without assistance. Where were the smiles? 12/27/18 4:15 pm store 81843... needs an overhaul in Customer Service.

I PURCHASED GIFTS FOR SECRET SANTA AT WORK IN PLENTY OF TIME TO RECEIVE FOR COMPANY PARTY. NOT ONLY DID IT NOT ARRIVE ON TIME , YOUR COMPANY ALSO CANCELLED ITEM OF MY ORDER, THIS PUT ME IN A VERY HUMILIATING SITUATION AS I WAS UNABLE TO GIVE MY SECRET SANTA THEIRE GIFTS. VERY UNPROFFESIONAL. I WILL NEVER SHOP WITH YOUR COMPANY ONLINE AGAINA ND I WILL EXPRESS TO OTHERS HOW POOR YOUR ONLINE ORDERING IS. I HAVE 1 OTHER ORDER THAT IS STIL PENDING WITH YOUR COMPANY, I AM HOPING THIS ONE ARRIVES, IN FULL, ON TIME FOR CHRISTMAS TO MY DAUGHTER. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Yesterday I went to a Bath and Body store in Ames Iowa to purchase some products for Christmas gifts and talk about poor service. I asked the clerk if they had 1000 Wishes in a gift set and she said no but soon after I found it in the store. I also bought other products and went to pay. The clerk rang me up which totaled over fifty dollors then she when went to wait on someone else. I was left standing there with no sack and then when I asked for one she handed it to me and I had to bag my own products. Really! What happened to the days stores valued their customers?

I ordered 15 candles on candle day via the phone online. I was told I could use my 20% off coupon if I called your store relations phone number. Your phone system was jammed and I was never able to get through. Your customer care center will not honor my coupon although I have done it this way for many years. And if I gone to my local store I would have saved about $30 and I would like that amount credited back to my charge card .my order number is attached. please show me that you value me as a customer and refund the correct amount to my charge card. Thank you. 25132045 order number

i have been buying your candles for a long time and love them i just got some on order and also in store and am having trouble with the way they are burning or at least the last two sometimes i realize that something could be wrong but the first burn is great and the seconds is also good now the third time lighting them i cant keep them lit and they are only a bit less than half gone i have tried everything i could think of until you look at it and see that one wick went out and it is burning uneven until you just have to throw it out half gone. i purchase over 50 candle per year and have never had this problem. i also noticed that the third time trying to lite them the smell is very weak. Any other people having this trouble. The scents were Fresh Balsam and Pumpkin Pecan Waffle

I was racially profiled in your Highland, Indiana store which led to discriminatory action. Yesterday, while in line for check out and next to be served, I experienced the cashier proceed to walk right past me and ask everyone in line behind me who happened to be white if they were paying with credit card and if so she could assist them. She finally found someone 4 customers back who was and she ushered them to her cash register. I stopped her and asked her why she had opted to not ask me and I advised her I too was paying with credit card. She responded nastily with a yell "ok but you are next in line" and took the other party behind me to her register and waited on them while I remained in line waiting to be serviced. What residue she felt I had on me to suggest I was not paying with credit card I do not know. How the store allows its associates to treat its customers like such is heartbreaking. Why the manager thought it's best to just talk to her and not accept ownership that her cashier had severely wronged me is proof that your associates need training not only on customer service but also racial stereotyping and discrimination as well. I will be contacting our local EEOC and filing a formal complaint on Monday. I'm a black woman not a second class citizen. All customers should be treated equally. I've shopped bath and body works for years, I should not have been treated this way for any reason. PS. KUDOS to the associate who waited on me and tried her best to turn a poor experience around even though the damage had already been done.

I went to your store tonight to purchase items for myself and co workers for Christmas as I do every year. This year was by far the worst. In the 20 minutes my husband and I were in the store not one employee asked if they could help us or tell us about any sales going on. I made one small purchase and left. The whole time we were their 1 employee was fussing about a personal matter and the other 2 were walking around putting out stock. I will take my holiday business elsewhere. Very disappointed because I have always loved your store!

I went in to follow up on a resume for seasonal work 3 times and the manager had supervisors take my info never replied her name is Delia at the Valencia Ca, store, not one reply of positions are maybe filled? left msgs also, people want to work for the holidays and have open availability the manager never came out at least to introduce her self i found it rather rude and unprofessional. Considering Bath n Body Works is looking to hire, out going people, what dose this say about the management or Bath and Body Works? I have shopped here for many years and choose this co. for a second job for the holidays and felt so ugly in that store and still bought 50.00 dollars of product that day! the supervisor did make up for the poor management and said don't give up!! I just felt yes this was really something to complain about bath and body works has always made me feel good when i walk in!! Always but not today your management couldn't even acknowledge a human customer!! not once but 3 times I have yet to receive a phone call from her.

Sincerely,
Jeannie Cabrales
I still love your products and i know one
bad apple does not make the co.

I went on Friday ,Aug/10/2018 in encinitas California in the mall in camino real, and there the first woman was very helpful and I got a basket of items from the no discount products , and I went to pay and the cashier was helping a customer and I was next , I’m a very noticeable Brasília woman with exotic curly hair and the cashier de decided to ignored me and help only white customers until a male customer told her that I was first than everyone;( so she look at me with disrespect and she said ok without anything else to say , and I told her this; you know what I was buying your best products but I just changed my mind and I gave her the basket and left

I went to a the Hialeah store located at 407 W 49th Ave Hialeah FL, 33012. I bought 40 worth of product and used a coupon after I was going to the movies with children and could not continue shopping so I waited till the movies were over so I can back and purchase more stuff. When the movie was over I went back to Bath and Body works with my children, my son bought some stuff and used one of my coupons. I shopped again for myself but the cashier with an attitude told me she was t taking the coupon because I had shopped a few hours before when I came in the store before went the movies with my children. In total I spend 120 dollars at this store and I could not believe I was treated like this. I think should have let me know before I purchased that she was not going to allow this. I have other stores near me and is totally different I feel there was discrimination towards myself and my children. My children felt awful when the cashier went back and forth with me. when I asked for a manager she replied to bad the manager Is me. Thank you in advance and I hope that something is done because I shouldn't feel discriminated when I visit this store.

I usually love Bath and Body works products...they are the only ones I ever buy for bubble bath, shower gel, and hand soap. But I was very disappointed in this year's Winter Candy Apple foaming hand soap. Whether it's the soap itself, or the pump...the soap comes out 1/3 foam and 2/3rds pink liquid. Not only does this cause a great deal to be wasted in the sink, but the bottle isn't lasting near as long as it should. I love the smell of Winter Candy Apple, so I will continue to purchase it in the regular hand soap (during the holiday season)...but not sure I'll buy another foaming bottle unless the problem is an isolated one...or is taken care of.ou.

I shop at Bath & Body Works every month and one employee at the Columbia Place Mall location in Columbia, SC had a really nasty attitude because she was trying to put out items and customers were shopping. She kept saying "there's other stuff over there," and would point. At first I said, "okay, thank you," because I thought she was just trying to assist customers. However, she continued to repeat it and then deep breathed and told her manager she was just going to leave.

This so called manager just laughed instead of addressing the situation. I understand that it is frustrating when you have to work around customers. I worked in a grocery store stocking the shelves while I was in college so I know the feeling, but her behavior was inappropriate. It's 4 days before Christmas, everyone is trying to grab last minute gifts. When you work in a retail setting you must learn how to deal with these things or just go find another job.

There was a nice young lady there who has the skills necessary to be the manager, I actually thought she was the manager! I wish I would have asked her to tell me her name!

They are so rude there at my local Bath and Body works store in the mall. They would make remarks to each other about the customers. I will drive 30 miles before driving 5 to the Athens, Tennessee location.

I went to the black Friday sale like me and my girls do every year we spend almost a 1000 between the three of us we went there 3 times Friday well when I went to burn the fresh candle after 2 hours 2 days in a row you couldn't smell them and our daughter said the same about hers. I went back to bath and body and the lady told me I wasn't burning them right I told her I was and she goes your wrong to me and that I didn't know what I was doing and she said she wouldn't exchange them and laughed at me I have been burning candles for over 40 years and never had a problem for one.

I have always bought they holiday candles for as long as I can remember and never have a problem well I put them back in my bag and left and as I was leaving the lady was laughing at me as I was walking out and by the way I use a cane and have a cast on my leg I then called customer service after all this and the rerp said she was calling the store cause she cant believe it well she called me back and said that they said they were educating me which was a 100% lie.

I said and she said she had to believe them and not me and that they cant be exchanged and that I wasn't truth full I hung up how dare them lie about this I am a very honest person and never look for something for nothing .and for your employees to say that is totally wrong I,m going to talk to my daughters and tell them we are returning everything we bought and am sending emails to all of our family and friends and im going to contact the BBB and our attorney general of Ohio on this.

I will go back to buying at yankee candle when I left that store I was in tears and upset by what they said and did and no one should ever be treated this was and since they wont take the ones I tried burning I will eat this cost but everything else will be returning this week once I get my girls to get it all together and my rating for this company is a 0 for terrible.

When I went into the Birch Street Brea Store in Ca today, the cashier was extremely rude and unfriendly. She wouldn't allow me to use my coupon saying that the company has changed its policy. When she said this she would not make eye contact, I am sure this was a lie. She had no people skills what so ever and acted very apathetic to me and my situation. No one greeted me upon coming in nor did they ask to help me or other customers. She didn't even say a kind good bye either. Usually when I go into this store they are so nice! This cashier by the name of Brianne, is either new or the store's standards have changed to beyond low! People like her have no business working with the public. I was very disappointed by this poor treatment.

Staff at Bath and Body were unable and unwilling to figure out why one hand soap was not on sale. Too busy to care about a basic customer for an item on sale in their ads.

My daughter and I went Bath and Body Works this morning around 11am at Christown Mall in Phoenix Arizona. The two girls working completely ignored us and while walking around you can hear them complaining about customers and coworkers. I couldn't believe it. I heard them cussing and being unprofessional. Finally one asked if we wanted help and I was so angry I just said no I don't want your help after hearing you talk shit about customers during business hours. Very unprofessional. I was pissed. At least I know they will have something to talk about tomorrow.

I am a true candle lover but usually buy Yankee Candle products. I received one of the Bath and Body Works Black Friday totes and have been trying to burn the Apple Spiced Toddy candle for days with unsatisfactory results. The wicks wont stay lit it burns unevenly its the worst candle I have ever had. If all the Bath and Body Works candles burn this way I will not buy from them in the future. Very dissatisfied with this product and the customer service I have received so far.

40

If you like something and bath & body don't get use to it. They have a habit of discontinuing things all the time. I loved the Romance by Breathe and it was discontinued. My friends warned me. They no longer go there either. Word of mouth. The only time I go in there is at Christmas for Noel for a present and I am sure they will discontinue that one also. I have sent e-mails to Bath and Body Works after they discontinued but the ignored me. You have lost my money and my friends money. I am done because I cannot get anybody to help me.

Pamper yourself for a while with great products on bath and body products that can change the way you feel about yourself. Since I didn’t get time enough to go and relax in a spa, I decided to get the same experience at home and made purchases from BathandBodyworks.com. They have some really awesome spa collection that gave me a really good experience. I purchased the EUCALYPTUS SPEARMINT body scrub that was really a stress reliever for me. Great product, gentle to use everyday and has some natural products used in them. I would definitely make sure to buy more in the near future. BathandBodyworks.com has everything you would want for your skin care. I would definitely give BodyandBathworks.com A+ for their products as its worth the money.
