Body Shop
I completely struck out at the Body Shop yesterday. My plan was to pick up a couple of things for John as a tiny surprise, and one thing for me, since I can hardly ever buy a present for someone without buying myself one, too, no matter how small.
But…the Body Shop near me had none of the things. Not one. So, I decided to try and get the stuff on-line, instead. Imagine my surprise when I learned that the only things you can buy from the website are “selected gift items”. This pretty much blew my mind, partly because you can buy just about anything on the Web, including castles, and partly because the Body Shop is supposed to be so forward-thinking. What is the point of having a website where you can read Anita Roddick’s views on hemp products, but you can’t actually buy any of their products, including the hemp-based ones? Call me crazy, but I would have thought that one of the things they would want their website to do is actually sell things.
One Response to “Body Shop”
Oh I hate that, when you go to a site and want to buy something, and they don’t have all of their products listed. Blah!
