The second you walk in this store, you get a nose full of all the various smelling salts(and lotions, and body sprays). New seasonal wares are in the front as you enter and anything else on sale or clearance is through out the store. Most of the items have testers, so you’re able to sniff, not scratch, the bottle. Only problem: sometimes the tester is out. Pros: *Tables are spaced out enough in the store to welcome free range walking(no bumping in to anything). * Seasonal items completely in stock(see Cons note about other items). * New gift ideas always coming in(the holders for their version of Purell are cool. They’re rubber animal key ring holders that slip on to the bottle). Cons: * Some items they used to carry in the store, they no longer. Website claims it’s in stock, but when prompted, associate states that some products don’t sell well in store. Or, the website can carry a greater amount of the product. However, there’s a store — unrelated to B&B W that sells the product… or something highly similar. * I feel you can’t really test anything with out getting a «can I help you?» death stare from an associate. What’s the point of being able to ‘try it before you buy it’, if you are made to feel like it’s a no-no? Explain you wanted to try it and they will leave you alone… until you walk to the next batch of tester tables. I always find myself going back. I may not buy anything, but it’s nice to be able to browse. Hopefully the gift ideas stay in stock for the holidays, so then a few things can be bought!
