Cartoon Man posted:I always chuckle when he stumbles into the beyond section of bed, bath, and beyond. The rest of the movie is a mind gently caress though. I was working at Bed Bath and Beyond when that movie came out and a bunch of middle aged white chuckle fucks would ask where the "beyond" section was. At one point I started sending them to storage or curtains.

I still say that Bed Bath & Beyond could have not only saved itself from bankruptcy but become a titan of industry akin to Amazon if every store had stocked a single section of dramatically overpriced inscrutable mechanica made from metal and crystals. You know some dipshit would have bought a $10k copper and crystal fountain-clock just often enough to make it absurdly profitable across the chain, especially after the whole Influencer trend took off.

Schindler's List was rough. We watched it in (Jewish) school. That said, I seem to remember it not really being that bad, probably because we'd already been taught a great deal about what happened during The Holocaust. Not to mention it's mostly about Jews being saved, for a change. The situation had about as good an outcome as one could hope for, under the circumstances. I have no great desire to watch it again, but going by the synopses I'd far more readily watch it than the other movies mentioned. I will say, though, that because I

When I was a fedex guy Bed Bath & Beyond got hundreds of parcels daily of individual items for retail sale. That alone was an extremely senseless and gigantic waste of money that would have been avoided with any logistics work whatsoever. It was unthinkably stupid. Every single shipping bill for each item would have eaten the majority of their profit margin before they even made the sale.

I do not kid in the slightest. 100% of the problem with an $8,000 coffee maker is and was that it has an identifiable purpose. Doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on inscrutable, incomprehensible things that could barely be called products at all would have made them the next Supreme, but before Supreme. Commitment to the bit is, however, critical. Nothing cheap or fake in the Beyond bits, which is kind of the antithesis to the rest of their whole... model? (Do we call it a model if it demonstrably never really worked? I don't know). I'm not asking for changes to the core business, no, I just want to be able to browse arcane ephemera at the same place I go to get bathmats and guest bedroom comforters.

I can't remember for the life of me what thread it was in but someone here told a story about going on a first date and trying to be thrifty so they snuck a bottle of whisky into a movie theater and just chose one of the movies playing without knowing anything about it. They chose Leaving Las Vegas.

fartknocker posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5rXBq7vyck Yeah, "the beyond store" was one of the reasons I think it eventually collapsed. A poorly designed website that they cannibalized the in-store business to prop up by rewarding employees who redirect all their sales to web orders while allowing them to apply a 20% discount (eating up all profit) and waiving shipping (so in addition to the store losing a sale, the company would actively lose money for each customer) without any oversight. One of my coworkers was apparently the top "beyond store" salesperson in the company and it's because she'd try to redirect every in person sale to the website with free shipping and 20% off. freeedr posted:When I was a fedex guy Bed Bath & Beyond got hundreds of parcels daily of individual items for retail sale.

Every single shipping bill for each item would have eaten the majority of their profit margin before they even made the sale. We received almost all of our merch on pallets from a warehouse, through the major freight shippers (DHL maybe? I forget who). FedEx would deliver a few dozen store to store transfer items and would take about as much of either store to store transfers or largely damaged merch that vendors wanted back.

FedEx would deliver a few dozen store to store transfer items and would take about as much of either store to store transfers or largely damaged merch that vendors wanted back. This was long ago, but our local BB&B store had their own 40’ truck from our FedEx Ground warehouse. That truck only did two things: Bed Bath and Beyond in the morning, then go back and load up for a giant shopping mall. BB&B got as much as the entire mall every single day. They were the only business in the whole city with their own rollers and staging area in the warehouse. My daughter worked at BB&B for a bit during covid and college but she wasn’t sure about the freight etc so i don’t know if it was still the same. (We put our most useless package sorter on that truck because it was the simplest)

My BB&B story is also how I knew it was totally, completely hosed when it was circling the drain. My wife and I got a $100 BB&B gift card from someone when we got married. We went there a couple of times but didn't see anything we wanted. Finally when it was in the news constantly years later for how it was days away from going under we went there with the set mission of finding loving something, anything to spend that card on. Weird kitchen gadgets we'd never use. Over priced loofahs. Whatever. Walking through that disaster of a store - organization was a joke - we could find loving nothing we wanted even for what was effectively free. We're standing around discussing maybe selling it on ebay for $.50 on the dollar when I realized they had a small corner section of weird, supposedly fancy candy and beer. And that's how we bought $100 of bad candy and no-name "craft beer" that we later figured out was bottled by budweiser or someone.

Bed Bath Biergarten & Beyond I just completely missed the whole drama arc of BB&B's downfall apparently. Back in the day like 2003-5 it was a perfectly normal place to get a coffee maker or some sheets or whatever and I did so a fair number of times. It was always full of people and seemed like a useful store. It caught me completely off guard when they "suddenly" imploded as far as I had been paying attention once I moved somewhere else and no longer had a house to keep furnished.

I bought a set of nice knives there around then and the cashier was new (or dim) enough to let me use my 20% coupon even though they were specifically mentioned on the coupon as not being eligible. Thanks BB&B!

I contributed to them dying because i only bought items there when they put out their “25% off any item” coupons (quarterly?) and then i would buy one expensive appliance at that steep discount and never spend any other money in the store. Way lower price than what i could find anywhere else in most cases. That’s how i got most of my countertop appliances, except our coffee maker. The one i bought there somehow exploded coffee grounds everywhere (???) when you tried to use it, no matter how faithful to the directions you were. I’m not even sure about the physics of how it was happening. So i returned that.

That's not so weird. They do that at department stores because it looks nice and it's not practical to stock things on shelves 16 feet off the ground.
