ladies, let's talk about bath and body works.

i like the store, love it even, but for some reason all of the fruity or floraly hand lotions make my nose totally freak out. the rice/shea butter one's like the only one that doesn't bug. it's weird. and all the other stuff in the store is fine - like the aromatherapy line, and the skin care stuff, totally fine, nose approved.

but those hand lotions/body washes etc. with fancy names like pearberry, or cucumber melon, or coconut elephant turd verbena... man it's hell when they get near the nose region of my face.

so anyways, i got some country apple hand lotion from one of my sisters this xmas and yesterday i finally remembered that i needed to go exchange it.

have you ever needed to exchange/return something there? weird. i mean, they're totally nice about it, even with no receipt. but when the girl was finishing the transaction, while she was waiting for the paper to print out of the register, she wrote a big fat D (for defective or dumbass, i'm guessing) and dumped the contents of the bottle into this large bin..

just the way she did it totally made me feel like this terrible, hardended criminal, someone who bought the stuff, peed in the bottle and returned it with a bs story about having a sensitive nose, secretly hoping some hapless customer would take the tainted bottle home and use it.

it's entirely possible that i have issues.
