Bed Bath & Beyond

I have not always been a huge fan of Bed, Bath & Beyond but today the Providence store won me over with their pleasant and very accommodating customer service on the phone and in the store. All locations are not the same and this location is now my store of choice. Thank you!

This place is HUGE!
Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, willing to order something for you on their site if they don’t carry it in store, and efficient.
Sign up for their offers online and on your phone for 20% off items and others– it makes a difference.
A bit pricey, but great quality and even better when there are sales or items marked down.
Parking is easy, and close to the store!

What a hot mess.
As I was shopping the other day, I decided to peruse this little outlet that I’d never been in. i wasn’t really looking for anything, but in the mood to spend some money.
I thought that the people shopping there would be a bit more… upscale? I don’t know what I was thinking. I haven’t seen so many sweatpants since my 8^th grade slumber party!
Anyway… I thought I was experiencing vertigo as the floor began to shake from the parking garage underneath. Gosh. Next time I’ll take a dramamine… if there IS a next time.
After I found a mirror that magnified 10X so I can really get at those pesky eyebrows and pores, I looked for the checkout. There were people scattered all over the place with no direction. Um, where do I go to pay? There appeared to be 5 or 6 checkouts, but the staff were either filing their nails or had 8+ people in their line. Since there were no lights or anything above the checkouts, there was no way to indicate whether they were accepting customers for ringing. I started waiting in this very long line… and what happened? The woman in front of me turns and says — «Oh, this is no longer a line. I work here. I’m just standing here to make sure nobody else gets in line.» WHAT?! That is ridiculous.
So after I am moved to another line, after several minutes I am told by the cashier that her line is too long and I should look for another checkout. THIS ISN’T BLACK FRIDAY PEOPLE! After getting to my 3^rd checkout line, I was finally able to pay and LEAVE.
I did explain my aggrivation to the clerk, she apologized quickly and then told me she liked my dermal piercing.
If you’re looking for Wal-​Mart 2.0 this is the place!

I always seem to manage to use up all my coupons when I make a trip here for a single item. How is that possible? The other day I came in for like a dust ruffle and I came out with $ 1000 worth of items. There’s something wrong with this picture… but then again if you’ve shopped here before you’ll understand my predicament
They have stuff… lots of stuff that you need, don’t need or really want and really don’t need. For example… I don’t always cook. Ok, I’ll be honest… I don’t cook but I really really wanted this ice cream machine for when I throw those, you know, ice cream parties that I’m famous for … or will be famous for.
Park on the lowest level otherwise you’ll find yourself hauling all your good buys up to the top floor and you’re going to curse the other people in the car for letting you drive all the way up.

I come here when I need a kitchen gadget or a pan, mostly. Big selection and low prices. Although I’m short and some of their items are really far up the wall :(
Sheets, comforters, towels etc. are ok enough prices but the colors and patterns are either boring or look like they were designed with a dorm room in mind. Nothing exciting here!
So, in summary, good prices and you’ll probably be able to find what you’re looking for but you won’t leave feeling particularly satisfied.

It has all the stuff that all BB&Bs have. It was nice to see it in a shopping mall. My complaint is that I was unable to find anyone to answer my questions which differs from my experiences at the company’s other stores.

Typical Bed Bath and Beyond with a much much smaller bedding section. It was disappointing to see only a few sheet sets. Maybe they were in the middle of restocking, I don’t know. but when I got to BBB to find something I am willing to throw my money at, it is disappointing to not find what I am looking for.
