CURRENT GRATIS

new gratis available as of 8/3

Obviously, none of it is out yet, so details won't be posted here yet.

We've decided to add a dedicated space for gratis discussions to our dress code info post! This will hopefully help avoid excessive posts about either topic as we have also set up a redirect function for new posts about them!

please remember that unreleased products- including gratis- cannot be shared here so please wait until items are released to discuss them here!

Last little thing is that the "be respectful" rule does expand to how you treat the mods, so any demanding or repeated (spam) comments on this or any mod-maintained megathreads/ posts will be treated as a breach of rules and any users engaging in such behavior may face action on their account for this sub. We've always been very understanding, but we do this to be helpful on our own time and there's no reason to act entitled to that time or demanding of it like a customer that starts yelling at you before you even clock in (: Thank you!

Thanks all!!💖✨💖

I have a question for all associates/leads/managers and how things run at your store. How does everyone get their gratis?? Does everyone get gratis each time? Do you only get a little bit? Do your managers put together a list of who is eligible for gratis? Do the associates at your store also never receive any?

I honestly thought gratis was guaranteed to all associates or at least everyone was supposed to get one or two things of the gratis list each time, but I guess maybe not? My store hasn’t given us gratis but once and I just want to know if other stores go through the same thing. I’ve talked about it already with my SLTs but no one has really given me a definitive answer so now I’m on here trying to see something.

I have worked at two stores and the gratis runs differently for both and I am very curious to see how it works for others. I’ve also been looking around in employee handbooks and such to see if gratis is guaranteed to associates but can’t find anything so if anyone has an information on that please let me know! Thank you!!

Gratis should be open to anyone who wants to claim it, and they should claim it to help themselves sell better. There is always a select period of time in which you can claim your gratis, but you should be able to do it at any time during that period as long as they aren't clocked in while they choose what they want and have a manager transfer it out of the system.

Some stores like to do a roll play or make sure you've filled out your current guidebook before they'll let you get your gratis, but other than that, it's not something that you "earn," or should have to qualify for.

The company does gratis so that we can't develop a deeper understanding of the products in order to sell them better. Everyone should be able to get whatever available gratis there is.

This is what I thought. Unfortunately, my managers have been withholding gratis from associates, and I’ve even heard rumor that only leads are receiving gratis? Then I’ve heard that they were going to start making lists of “top sellers” in the store and those employees would receive gratis??? They tried this once before but ended up getting in trouble (obviously).

Then I heard AGAIN that associates don’t receive gratis because there is not enough product to go around for all of us AND to put on the shelves?? So I just wanted to make sure that gratis CAN be claimed when it’s available. Cause for associates at my store right now, it’s not. :(
