Lush Edinburgh say they wouldn't serve anyone in "woman" T-shirt

So because they didn’t get 100% “you go girl! So right. I can’t believe anyone would disagree” they have removed it?

I bet they didn’t like the fact people bought up the kiss thing either

You’d think they would learn from Body Shop. Oh well.

Possibly someone higher up pointed out that what they proposed to do was in fact illegal.
Or they realised that alienating your core market with sexist bilge and virtue signalling wasn't a good business model.

Shame about the screenshots which I hope are bring circulated far and wide.

I don't see Lush losing any money over this, at all.

Wear your ‘woman’ T-shirt back to front and have a laugh when you leave the store (empty handed)

Could you wear a t-shirt that said woman = adult human anyone, but cover up the last word with a hoody so you get thrown out for being inclusive?

Anyone near Edinburgh want to take a wee look?

Wow, it's almost like they thought that silly sign would be a few easy-won woke points, and it's turned out to not go down so well so they've immediately backed away from it. Silly arses don't even have the courage of their convictions.

The ‘poor floor staff’? Have you met some of them? They often have the vibe of stage school kids.

All the nasty stories of virtually naked staff (getting groped, propositioned and sexually assaulted by creepy customers) is just mind boggling. Against sexism my arse.

I would say "cancel" Lush but i am a mere middle aged woman ( yes a woman) who hasn't a clue what it means or how to do it

I have to say that this all bothers me because it's the poor shop floor staff having to police and manage this.
I'd happily protest, but it's never to the right people. The staff may or may not agree with their shops policy, and it's not a nice position to be in Id imagine.

Oh hang on... it appeared to be locked (so comments bit showing) and now it’s gone puffffft.

Fearty wee Weasels.

Nope it’s still there. Have you been put on the naughty step?

Have they deleted their Facebook post? can’t open the link

It's just a big pr stunt isn't it? Be woke and be offended to get your shop in the spotlight. I wonder whether any of them at lush actually believe prisons should be unisex. They got into an Edinburgh online news site that just copied the info from the Facebook post without saying what the sticker was, which suits lush's chosen narrative. I wonder whether lush Edinburgh just tipped them off and paid for the article? It actually seems like the most likely reason for them putting that big sign in their shop.

Sophocles - they have an online test thing that recommends suitable products, although they're really responsive on Facebook if you have any questions and will refund if no good.

(I don't work for them!)

@NonnyMouse1337 Thank you..... much appreciated xxx

Shame Lush are truth phobic, science phobic and woman phobic.They are also uneducated on trans topics if they think recognising biological sex is 'transphobic'.

They lost me at their police campaign. Over priced smelly stuff.

I fully expect to order a takeaway without being lectured on whether there is a solution to conflict in the Middle East, I generally get my gas supplied without the company handwringing over Faroese whaling, so why can’t I buy my fucking moisturiser without the side order of moralising??

I've hated them ever since discovering they backed hunt sabs years ago. Their current stance does not shock me unfortunately.

Note: I would blur the faces of the shop employees if anyone does pick up on this idea, as the rot comes from the top and it's not fair to punish them for obeying orders from management. I would also not initially attempt to engage staff in conversation about the issues. Just walk in with the shirt on full display and buy some small (preferably returnable) item. If challenged we and our allies can then calmly ask what's offensive about defining a woman according the dictionary, and why we can't choose to self-identify according to sex.

There's no Lush store near me and I don't have any male allies who would care enough to get involved, but I would really love to do it. I'm sick of this sexist nonsense going unchecked by corporations who specifically market their products to women. Bad PR is the least they deserve.
