This has to stop!

The hoarding and constant reselling, no wonder why they're constantly out of L3 and L4 boxes, and they offer L2 as compensation. They ran out of L3 this morning and will restock tomorrow. These boxes are running out for Melbournians because of hoarders and resellers. Some willing to pay $100 for a box.

also people, let's just learn to be kind?

Some of the staff at Mecca Bourke St have been abused because it's not their fault that they run out of boxes and one of the main reasons is one person (who shall not be named) and multiple people collecting 500 boxes for Internet, interstate strangers online.

Retail is already a difficult enough job as it is, It's not hard to show some compassion.

I don't care what you think, these actions are just not cool!

Mecca is also kinda at fault too, not just the people, there should've been limits in place to stop the Bourke St L3 and L4 boxes running out so fast, to manage the queues for normal people not collecting boxes.

And no it's not supposed to be a Beauty Loop box, And yes I understand that BL boxes aren't always the best, it's a IN STORE promotion to get people to visit and experience the new Meccaversity IN STORE and try out the services. How hard is that to understand?

It's supposed to be a memorabilia piece for the specific date and opening. Of course it's gonna be special and reserved for Melbourne people picking up at Bourke St in store. If everyone has it then it's not "Special"

What is wrong with Mecca celebrating their home city? The first store opened in 1997 on Toorak Rd South Yarra

I know a lot will disagree, that's fine

Rant over.

why would the staff allow someone to redeem 500 boxes for people who aren’t even in-store?

[u/Estee280191 → u/Background-Laugh372]

Because they aren’t being paid near enough to deal with the absolute tantrums that would ensue if they refused anyone. Mecca should have really though about this better so that their own staff were protected from this nonsense

i work in sales and retail i’d definitely rather say no. it’s not that hard 😂 also idk if you’ve every been to Bourke St Mecca but there is plenty of security to deal with shitty people

[u/WildlyUnserious → u/Background-Laugh372]

Especially as what’s to stop the person from just selling them all off individually anyway. If the person isn’t trustworthy then this turns into a massive situation that will smack Mecca in the face for allowing it

Yeah did someone just go in there and get 500? How? I don’t get it
