Subject: RE: BS: Why don't they make simple appliances?
Well you said simple, you never said beneficial!!
I know what you mean though.. The Body Shop keep bitching about their falling profits. I wonder why? Whenever I go to a Body Shop I want to refil/replace what I'd bought previously. They sold it to me in huge quantities so it's usually a good 6 months or more before I need to go back. When I do, they have ceased to do that line. Take bath oil. They used to sell huge quantities of it and you could add your own perfume or leave it unscented. They've stopped selling it. I asked why. The store manager said and I quote "Oh, it was just too popular, so we stopped it". I went to one yesterday after only a couple of months but didn't recognise a single item I'd bought previously. Either the ingredients are different or the line has been discontinued. And they wonder why no-one recycles there anymore.
