This is a screen shot of EIGHT of us milling around in Bella Bertone's store BellaRose looking for her group gift, because one of her fangirlz says she just got it.
None of us can find it because there isn't a sign for it.
It's also not very visible because it turns out, it's a little, brown, unmarked bag by a chair.
It doesn't rez for everybody and/or the other stuff around it -- very busy -- distracts the eye and you can't find it.
Whenever I raise this problem in a slice of time by myself, all the fangirlz pretend it's just my problem and I'm blind.
So let's document how that is not the case:
[18:34] TrinityZen Resident: Is the January group gift out ?
[18:34] mets Rassir: YES AT STORE
[18:34] mets Rassir: AT DOOR
[18:34] mets Rassir: sorry caps
[18:34] mets Rassir: lol.
[18:34] TrinityZen: okay looking thank you :) lol
[18:35] mets Rassir: yvw.smiles
[18:36] Prokofy Neva: a reminder that BellaRose Designs Furniture New LM goes to the wrong place, inside a house BellaRose (136,85,23)
[18:37] Prokofy Neva: now it's a forest, but not a store in any event
[18:38] Prokofy Neva: the LM that goes here to Furniture store has no group gifts by the door BellaRose (50,166,23)
[18:39] Prokofy Neva: so you have to "just know" that THIS LINK IS WHERE YOU NEED TO GO BellaRose (96,192,23)
[18:40] Prokofy Neva: Or maybe not? 8 of us here now milling around and not finding it?
[18:41] Wild Bedrosian: hehe
[18:42] Prokofy Neva: @mets Rassir yoo-hoo?
[18:43] TrinityZen: she does have the nicest gifts of any furniture stores though :)
[18:44] Prokofy Neva: not if you can't find them -- you have to "just know" they are here -- in a little brown shopping bag on the floor by the Love set BellaRose (105,192,23)
[18:47] Prokofy Neva: I'd say the LOVE shelf is adequate -- if you like letters in decor (I don't). But the hunt for the gift is to help you see the things for sale that are nicer like the walnut accent table for only $199 -- ok, I'm a dutiful [BR] myrmidon, I bought it!
[18:48] Prokofy Neva: there's also this, very lovely and well made even with a bit of sticker shock:
[18:47] [BR] Amera Lounger & Decor SET whispers: [BR] Amera Lounger & Decor costs 1499L$ for non group members and 1199L$ for group members. Please right-click and select 'pay' to purchase.
[18:51] TrinityZen: Thanks Metals ! I found it :)
[18:55] PrettieDevine: where did u guys find the figt
[18:55] PrettieDevine: gift*
[18:55] Prokofy Neva: it's by the Love set see my link above, in a little brown bag
[18:58] PrettieDevine: Thanks loads
OK here's another round:
Thanks loads
[19:33] RaineJordon Resident: can someone please tell me where the group gift is located at?
[19:33] Subtlety Dalglish: i can never find it either
[19:33] Jeralee: i thought they went out in a notic
[19:33] Pilar Raynier: right as you walk into the main door ; it is the Love shelving unit ; there is a shopping bag to click on to receive it
[19:33] DeviLyra: not normally
[19:34] Jeralee: o.Otp me
[19:34] Jeralee: lol
[19:34] Chrissie0101: it's right when you go into the store, it's right beside the couch in a bag on the floor
[19:34] Chrissie0101: right side
[19:34] Subtlety Dalglish: ok ty chrissie
[19:34] RaineJordon: ty
[19:34] Jeralee: ooooo thank you
[19:34] TATIANNA Francois: does anyone have the LM
[19:34] Chrissie0101: your welcome.. I had a hard time finding it too the other day until someone told me where it was
[19:35] LadyWhite Farrior: yeah I was checkingfor you but i having issues rezzing lol things
[19:36] RaineJordon: yw
[19:39] Tiara Majestic: not sure how I missed a group gift, ty :)
[19:39] Jeralee: i always forget cries
[19:40] Tiara Majestic: Now if the store contents would just rezz :)
[19:41] Jeralee: :)
And note how in spite of this very frequent problem, every day, in her group, Bella browbeats customers:
[19:55] DeviLyra: lol other stores have people spoiled to big signs that practically jump out at you when you land.
[20:02] Bella Bertone: I dont know how you can miss it.. its in the middle of the store floor entrance.
[20:02] DeviLyra: I'm not sure either, that's the only thing I can think of though.
[20:06] Athens Underwood: who cares even if it is a bit tough. ITS FREE STUFF! quit Bi$#^ing lol
[20:07] DeviLyra: It's not really tough, people are lazy.
[20:07] Athens Underwood: ^^truth^^
[20:12] Prokofy Neva: it's because it's in a tiny brown bag on the floor without any sign that says GROUP GIFT, that would be my guess
[20:16] KellyBaby214: am i really this blind lol
The middle of the store entrance, Bella?
But your LM goes to a field with deer munching grass. Fix it.
But when people finally figure out how to go to the right area inside the store, nothing says GROUP GIFT.
People mill around aimlessly trying to find it because you can't be arsed to put up a sign that says GROUP GIFT or put it by your work desk with all
the other business information. That's what.
Here's my longer discussion of why I think this is simply DELIBERATE.
She is probably doing this (hiding gifts) to get traffic. The longer people mill about, the better chance of that person showing as traffic. More traffic equals people thinking the store is popular. I stopped shopping at Bella Rose, the customer service sucks and Bella is just not a nice person. Her cheerleaders are kissing her ass in the hopes of getting free stuff as a thank you for protecting Bellas's honor. I have pretty much stopped paying for groups. When you pay a couple hundred dollars to be in a group that says they have monthly group gifts, I expect there to be a new one every month. And not a piece of junk either, I expect something that is worth what I am paying the group fee for. Not some out of date, old ...crap. And as far as these people saying that creators are not obligated to give out gifts or they are giving gifts to be nice, we should kiss their butts for doing so and the creators are the salt of the earth because they do gifts, I do not agree with that. If I paid lindens out to be in a paid group that promises monthly group gifts, then yes...they are obligated. By not doing so, they are ripping us off. These stores that go months before changing out the group gifts are crooks.
