Now Lush, please
The smell of that shop is unbearable. I avoid that whole wing of Brent Cross.

I thought it was no new testing on animals which is why I moved over to Lush many years ago because none of their products/ ingredients even, have ever been tested on animals, so I believe.sadly their USP of not testing on animals
Always easy to find a Lush, you can smell them a mile off.The smell of that shop is unbearable. I avoid that whole wing of Brent Cross.
Lush did (do?) have a small grants fund that dishes out money to good causes, including many that would be deemed too political for more mainstream funders.I do remember someone on here saying that the founders and still part owners of Lush were good 'uns for supporting a lot of causes, like hunt sabs, out of their own pocket for no publicity.
I like their stuff, but yeah the shop is overwhelming for a few minutes until you adjust. I've been a customer for 30 years, but mainly switched over when Body Shop got sold.
What's "MLM" ?I used to love smelling the soap as a kid, however they also have an MLM arm which is really shitty and I hope they dies.
Multi-level marketing. Massive scam basically. Like a pyramid scheme but with an actual product to sell rather than a list of marks to recruitWhat's "MLM" ?

Yeah as Orang Utan said it's Multi-Level marketing. It's very predatory and they particularly target Mums to recruit to their scam as a way of making a bit of "money on the side" and the vast majority of people lose money. The drive is to recruit for your "downline" and you have to buy a certain amount of products in many of them.What's "MLM" ?
So it's where they knock neighbours doors selling perfume, etc? Gotcha.Yeah as Orang Utan said it's Multi-Level marketing.

There's also a huge crossover between Mormonism in America and MLMs which I've been learning about recently. Which is why so many of the big ones are in Utah.
Hannah Alonzo does some really good videos and breakdowns on YouTube.

Most of it is done online now, but yes can be anything from cosmetics, health supplements etc. They aren't really selling the product they are selling the "business opportunity". A few high street brands have some underlying MLM stuff going on - Ann Summers for examples.So it's where they knock neighbours doors selling perfume, etc? Gotcha.
Mrs Q did ones as well and I was sent off to take the kids to the park and then McDonalds, I think they have a no-men rule tbh which is fair enough. Mind you I'm not so sure I would want to be in the house with a dozen women drinking wine and passing sex toys round.On a side note, my ex hosted a Ann Summers party once, I was banned from the house, and packed off to the pub instead.
And, I was a pleasantly surprised with her purchases, which lucky didn't included a strapon.
It's not like it was unexpected and very grim for staff. On the plus side, it's only half the stores. For now. I gather that the British army was one of the most profitable bits of the chain.looks bleak atm
