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 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wipe my ass with nice store towels.

[–] SpaceNoodle 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Technically that counts as washing

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 6 points 1 year ago

Oh, I guess I wash my balls.

Today I learned!

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. No. That's not true. That's impossible!

[–] Aremel 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

[–] CaptainBlagbird 11 points 1 year ago

Nooooooooo!

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] KillerTofu 10 points 1 year 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 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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?

At first glance I thought these were towels on some rooftop and now I have the hardest time unseeing that

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 5 points 11 months ago

I didn't expect the Spanish towel roof.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mamertine 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] bleph 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

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

[–] snausagesinablanket 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like the fake Marshall amp stacks at concerts.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or the fake lifeboats on cruise ships.

[–] souma 6 points 11 months ago

Hey wait a minute

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why you never go beyond

[–] TheRealKuni 6 points 1 year ago

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

“Bed, Bath, and BEGONE!”

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

It's real? Bro

[–] ook_the_librarian 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Instead they just have hundreds divided by 5.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They have twenties of them

Edit: Scores, they have scores of them

[–] UltraMagnus0001 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.

[–] Viking_Hippie 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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

I prefer it tbh, less waste this way.

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

....sir, um.

now I'd like to sue you for fraud!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
