Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed this sentence:

"Typically, the most profitable product in the company is whichever over-$100 trash can the company is pushing at the time. These cans are made by simplehuman."

What is the source for this statement? Carax 16:39, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't know the source, but I do know for a fact (I am a former BBB employee) that Bed, Bath and Beyond does indeed sell Simplehuman trashcans, which can get well above 350 USD. While I don't recall the exact markup of these items, I do remember them being one of the highest in the store.

The most profitable item in the chain, as of my leaving in mid 2006, was the Oxo Good Grips Spatula, which retailed for 5.99. We would often display them year around in the highest sale areas of the store.

[edit] Grand Theft Auto parody?

Didn't the Grand theft auto series have some sort of parody reference to this place, called "Blood Bath and Beyond"? I am pretty sure it was a gun shop, but I can't remember if it was an "Ammunation" or not.

The gunshop in GTA is called Ammunation.

[edit] Something about the Pop Culture section

It says that Adam Sandler asked for a universal media remote at Bed Bath and Beyond. Then it says ironically Best Buy now carries such remotes...It dun make sense.--72.16.114.224 21:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Bed, Bath, and Beyond is also mentioned in the movie Bewitched. Nicole Kidman's character goes shopping for things in her new house and there is a BB&B sign labeled "Your Father" and her father is standing under it.

[edit] Cut Down the Pop Culture

It gives a short description of the article, then goes on with pop culture references. We need balance. TheListUpdater 21:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

The original screen play- would have featured Nicole Kidman walk up to the customer service area. In this scene she approches lines and the impatiant Kidman 'wiggles' her nose to make the lines go away. However after review of the scene and script with Bed Bath & Beyond's CEO and Founder's they removed the scene due to the true culture that one customer constitutes a line- which the BBB Rep's didn't want in the film, which later was re-written to the final scene with Nicole Kidman using a business card to pay for her products. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.253.65.218 (talk) 03:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is this the best anyone can do?

Surely, Bed Bath & Beyond must be notable for something other than pop culture, right? This article has nothing about the company's history, stock movement, important officers, outlook, or anything else that's actually relevant to the business that they provide. Can't anyone add something important? Timneu22 21:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
