Body Shop

Be careful if you visit this shop! I’m saying this b/​c when I was there yesterday, my debit card got stolen. I bought an $ 8 Christmas-​sales gift set for a friend. When I got the receipt from the store employee who rang up the purchase, I remember thinking at the time that something felt «off» but I couldn’t pinpoint what. I realized later that something had felt «off» b/​c he hadn’t given me my debit card back.
That’s when I also found out that whoever took my card also spent $ 500+ in Tysons Corner at various places — Champs [shoe store], $ 50 gift card at Starbucks, Auntie Anne’s, Haagendaaz — a hungry crook. I can’t point the finger directly at the store employee who rang me up (early twenties, larger-​sized black male) but I *can* say that I didn’t leave my debit card on the counter b/​c it was never given back to me, so it seems unlikely that the next customer just picked it up since it would’ve been behind the register where the employee put it, not on the counter, and b/​c the bank tells me that the crook started using my debit card 7 minutes after my Body Shop transaction. There was also a girl working at the shop at the adjacent register, probably also in her early twenties, blond-​ish hair with sort of a bob haircut who called everyone «hon». Like I mentioned, I have no proof it was the employees but I feel like it’s likely to be them and it’s unfortunate that it’s such an easy one to pull. So, watch your credit card and be more vigilant! Yes, if I’d been more vigilant, perhaps all this trouble could have been avoided but just the same, be careful!

I love the products they sell. I love that they are against animal testing, support community trade and help protect our planet.
I know Bath and Body Works has better sales, but The Body Shop has been around a lot longer. Their range of products are geared for all skin types of all ages. Their Nutriganics skin line is my favorite!
Keep an eye out for my favorite sale: Buy a bag for $ 5 and everything you buy that fits in the bag is 50% off! Think of your mom or dear old granny. the Body Shop products make perfect gifts. They even have a line of products for men.
