Bath & Body Works - Bloomingdale, Illinois 60108 - Stratford Square Mall

I purchased 4 of 3-wick candles. Two of them were holiday gifts for two of my friends. First, the sales clerk stuffed those 4 heavy candles into one small paper shopping bag. When I asked 2 extra small bags do the gifts giving to my 2 friends, she goes, "No. The paper shopping bag is for item purchased only. (But, didn't I just purchase 4 of the heavy 3-wick candles!?) If you want, I can give you one plastic gift bag." No, I didn't want that cheap-looking see-through plastic gift bag. I didn't understand what made that small paper bag big deal, especially I purchased 4 big candles and 2 of them were gifts individually!? After I explained to her awhile, she finally goes, "Okay. I'm giving you one extra paper shopping bag, but no next time. Okay??" I took that "precious" extra small shopping bag and swore I was not going to shop either Bath Body Works in this location or the whole Bath Body Works, if this is their policy for the whole nationalwide BBW. Thus, they could keep all the paper shopping bags for themselves. Nevertheless, I'm still wondering, if these 4 big candles were purchased by 4 separate people or at 4 different times, they still needed to give out 4 shopping bags, didn't they? So why I couldn't be given 2 extra ones for my gift candles!? Cheap... Cheap... Cheap... What the heck of the store policy especially at retail stores.
