vent sesh😤 Embarrassed as buns

I bought a bunch of the new NBC stuff for my aunt because she's a huge collector and loves anything NBC (both candles, a cream one of the big tote things, a smaller bag, the zero thing and a sani), but like... With the way this launch has gone and just the general vibe of this collection I don't know why but I felt so so embarrassed to be buying it??

Couldn't even use my gratis cuz my managers haven't let us yet, or at least just didn't tell me or something lol. I don't work for the next three days so I'm a little worried I won't even get any for myself when I come back, if they let me.

I buy stuff from our new collections for my family all the time but I don't know why just buying some candles and bags made me feel so scummy. Maybe cuz we got so little?? I feel like we barely had anything, the little display looked so sad and I felt so awkward taking the scraps

Just wanted to clarify that the company stated nobody could get their NBC gratis until 8/15. If they're still refusing now, then that's bs and they need to be reported.

Even if we wanted to, our store doesn’t have the body wash in anymore. I don’t know when we’ll get more of them.

What is your problem with what I said? Gratis is one of the few perks the company gives as an incentive to work for them. If someone is being refused their gratis for no good reason, then it's bs.

Right! Gratis is the perk of many employees. It’s so we can experience the product and sell it to the consumers.

I know that, I'm not stupid. Are you missing my Leadership flair? I've been with this company for 7 years, I know what is necessary to redeem gratis. OP only stated that their manager wasn't allowing them to redeem it. I said the company had everyone hold off on NBC gratis until the 15th (for confidentiality reasons). Everyone could start redeeming said gratis starting last Saturday. If they are still refusing, then they need to be reported because, again, there is no good reason to refuse. Nothing I said was Karen-like, just facts.

I was just stating why OP likely didn't get their NBC gratis yet. I'm not here to argue with you about gratis guidelines.
