I worked there in college. I had to straighten these all the time because people tried to reach up and take one... Instead of the nicely folded ones that were within arm's reach.

We were hoping they hadn't been pawed over by the unwashed masses

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

I wipe my ass with nice store towels.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Technically that counts as washing

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Oh, I guess I wash my balls.

Today I learned!

Where is this? (Sorry, I'm an European, on the edge of the map)

[-] Steve@startrek.website 44 points 11 months ago

Bed Bath and beyond, a piece of shit home-goods store

[-] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

May they rest in peace.

A soon to be extinct retailer called Bed Bath And Beyond. Watch the Adam Sandler movie 'Click' for a full rundown of the brand.

[-] ledtasso@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

My understanding was that overstock.com bought them for their brand only, and then changed their own name to Bed Bath & Beyond. So the old BB&B is now extinct, and overstock.com is now masquerading as BB&B.

If you go to overstock.com or o.co, both actually redirect to Bed Bath & Beyond now (which is presumably just a re-skinned version of the old overstock.com?)

I second this question, where is this?

Well there goes my dream of quitting my job and living in a towel fort at Bed Bath and Beyond

[-] Mamertine@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Sorry, but your dream also died when they closed all of their stores earlier this year.

[-] bleph@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Hey! No spoiler tag!? Some of us are still getting caught up on the last two seasons of reality

[-] MrBusiness@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago

Not all yet, the one with the ridiculous mark ups near me is still open somehow.

[-] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

Like the fake Marshall amp stacks at concerts.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 22 points 11 months ago

Or the fake lifeboats on cruise ships.

[-] souma@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Hey wait a minute

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 26 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Wait till you hear about the plastic and play-dough "food" they use in advertisements and the glamour shots on a restaurant menu or order board.

[-] Dublin112@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Watching a video that showed how they do cheese for pizza makes seeing those commercials absolutely hilarious to me knowing its basically nothing but glue.

[-] DarkGamer@kbin.social 21 points 11 months ago

That's why you never go beyond

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

If you ever go Beyond, and find the Fell Beasts, just remember the Words of Power to banish them:

“Bed, Bath, and BEGONE!”

[-] sag@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

It's real? Bro

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

I'm 40 and I just found out right now!

I prefer it tbh, less waste this way.

Instead they just have hundreds divided by 5.

[-] Afghaniscran@feddit.uk 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They have twenties of them

Edit: Scores, they have scores of them

[-] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 12 points 11 months ago

why yes I'd like to buy all of your towels

....sir, um.

now I'd like to sue you for fraud!

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I worked at K-Mart in the towels section when Martha Stewart started her line. Trust me when I say there were hundreds, there were. I was in a very busy store at Green Acres mall in NY Queens and people loved to mess up my wonderfully folded towels.

[-] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

Is this an Ikea reference? I'm not trendy enough to get it.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 6 points 11 months ago

No. Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

Real towels would certainly flatten over time and look really unappealing anyway. But it's a good reality check for sure!

[-] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 months ago

Very odd that this same account is going ravenously against GME and BBBY.

Seems suspect a day before earnings.
