Haha just kidding.
As of today, BBBYQ shares have been "cancelled on the Effective Date and have no value", which means that even the former biggest shareholders and people who bought yesterday have as many shares as every other person on earth (none). Many towel apes have finally come to accept that they're bagholders, but as SEARS and other meme stocks tell us, the party (city) never ends!
Because Bed Bath & Beyond sold off the IP to a different company, it can no longer be called 'Bed Bath & Beyond'. It reregistered as 20230930-DK-BUTTERFLY-1, INC -- a name that reveals the intention to let the thing stay dead. Naturally the qanon-type faction of the BBBYQ community has been going wild over this and connecting the dots . Their conclusion: that BBBY will reemerge from its chrysalis as 'Butterfly', they'll be reissued new Butterfly shares, and
they'll finally be able to order those lambos they've been window shopping their wives and children will come back to them.
Some choice threads:
Teddy teaches us about shills + A BUTTERFLY (note that this book is a vanity project by Ryan Cohen, who's a messianic figure in the meme stock community. Apes literally, unironically decode his tweets and children's books like gematria)
There's a Canadian term called 'butterfly transaction' wow I'm getting a lambo after all!
I will never sell! (he literally can't anymore lol)
The /biz/ BBBYQ general is also pretty good, though it's mostly trolls trolling trolls.
Will the towel apes finally be showered in extravagant wealth next week? No.

Stores weren't that big and really just sold towels and stuff. The "beyond" was kitchenware.

It's a store that could easily be replaced/outdone by Walmart/target
It's unfortunate cuz it kills a lot of mom and pop shops off but it also kills irrelevant zombie stores like bbby too

People prefer buying $10 scented candles that they'll burn for 3 hours and they'll only use once to give off that scent for the next 12 months.

We used to get them at my old store. They were always returned because they don't know how bad an orange scent smells to a man or that candles can be burned more than one time...

Interesting. Please tell me more!

Well, we used to do exchanges on opened items depending on the amount of use. So if the box was dented, missing the outer shell, or had any evidence of use at all, it'd be denied. We'd ask the cashier if this was a return because we weren't sure at first and they never said no. They always acted like it was a new purchase of the item. If someone didn't know any better, it'd get past us, but the returns department would see right through it and deny the return.
I hope that helps! I'm so glad I could answer your question without hesitation. Please don't hesitate to reach out in the future.

It was overly expensive and trying to buy things there sucked and the employees where shit.
White women with money go to places like Williams Sonoma or whatever where the store is nice. Poor white women just buy stuff at Wal-Mart or Amazon after window-shopping at BBBY.
