If you thought it felt a bit steamier the last time you went to Bed, Bath & Beyond, you wouldn’t be alone.

A new report from Bank of America says that the retailer has been turning down its air conditioning as a cost-savings measure in light of struggling sales, according to CNN.

That goes with a bleak overall picture for the company.

CNN reported that the Bank of America analysts who visited stores observed that labor hours were being cut, store hours were being reduced and remodeling projects were canceled, as well as the scaled back utilities — which Bed, Bath & Beyond said was not a top-down order.
