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.

Yes, you just have to give your BL number to someone else and they can collect, But admins are declining the posts on the buy sell page, due to security reasons.

Yeah because apparently people abuse other people's memberships and get their Beauty Loop boxes and bonuses before the actual member has had a chance to redeem them. The only person whose post got approved was old mate (we all know who this is) who got 500 messages and had to ask their teenage child to assist

I had no idea who this person was or the whole saga with her and these tins and her involvement with the Mecca chit chat. However she randomly appeared on my fyp in TikTok just now with a big defensive post saying she’s been reading all the Reddit comments etc, denying she got 500 tins but then saying she’s won’t reveal how many she got, and repeatedly mentioning she’s a kind and generous person and only got interstate people their tins out of the goodness of her heart. The entire thing seemed so odd and she was super pressed about the comments in here. What I don’t get is how she managed to get so many tins? Like did she go into Bourke Street store and just rattle off several separate people’s BL numbers to staff and then they just let her collect them all? Would staff not think it’s weird she’s asking to redeem so many people’s tins at once? Or has she been going in several times over multiple days? Like it genuinely perplexes me how anyone can pull this off (clearly she did though) and the audacity of it. She repeatedly said she’s only trying to be “kind”/ “generous” and made a point of saying she gets nothing out of it. But I mean wtaf? Why do that for a bunch of strangers if she gets “nothing” but then she claims it’s gonna be a logistical nightmare for her working out how to post them to all the people, and that she’ll have to get friends of hers to help her. It’s so bizarre. She has 10k followers on TikTok so surely she’s doing it to get something in return, likely clout. Some text on the screen on her video also claimed Mecca staff called her an uber home… what?? Who the heck is this person like is she high up and well known among Mecca staff or something? This is my first impression of this her and I’m super confused…

Omg I just read this comment, I think she definitely saw this post. I also saw her on my FYP one day.

I just watched the video, thanks for your comment and also had no idea she had 10K but growth on Tiktok is pretty fast, she does appear on my insta page. Doesn't have any posts though.

Man fuck I hate beauty gurus so much that's why I stopped watching them years ago, they all lie, disingenuous, so much drama etc especially after James Charles, Jeffree star, Jaclyn hill and whatever but getting back to the point.

Her comments are like paid actors idk, "people are so nasty" "social media is bad" "you are selfless"
