EX-BATH AND BODY WORKS EMPLOYEE EXPOSES 'SECRET' ON WHAT THEY DID TO RETURNED MERCHANDISE

The video comes from creator Dee Dee (@sassywithsumass), it starts with a stitch from creator Ella (@glamourddive), in one of the videos the Daily Dot previously covered, showing the treasures findable in a dumpster near a Bath and Body Works store.

Declaring, “These are some secrets that the public doesn’t know,” Dee Dee—who says she worked at Bath and Body Works but no longer does—talked about the return policy that leads the retailer to throw so many products away.

“We have to scan it into our system,” she notes, “and if it’s not out on the floor or if the packaging is out of date,” a code pops up in the system, and “we have to put it in a box in the back of the shop.”

Then, as she explains, “Twice a year employees can fill up a king-size bag to the max” with product. Though an employee has to pay a nominal $5 to do this, Dee Dee remarks, “I’ve saved like $400.”

But then, she reveals that whatever doesn’t move after that just gets tossed.

“We’re gonna throw it away because we can’t put it back up on the floor,” she says. “I currently work there,” one commenter said. “Any liquid soaps get dumped down the drain. Either way, we place our trash in the compactor so it gets all smashed.”
