... to say that 'Lush' are an amazing shop?

[SupplychainNpton]

This morning, my DP took my DDs shopping for my birthday gifts.
The smallest is 6, and LOVES Lush. She insisted that I needed something from there so she could play around with the bath bombs.
DP apparently found a few things, and DD trotted over to look at the pretty things. She picked up a bath bomb, and inadvertently knocked the entire display over. Bath bombs rolling all over the place!

DD burst into tears, and was mortified.
The lovely assistant brought her a tissue, laughed and said it was very funny, and not to worry.
She then asked DD which was her favorite. She picked out a bubble bar. The assistant gift wrapped it, and gave it to her for free!

That was such a kind gesture, and my DD was over the moon.
Thank you Lush!

Political about things linked to the product and company I get.

Political as in pick whatever happens to be trending and make a campaign about it that's quick and click baity that is more about superficial shock than debate, not interested.

Oh well that was nice. But Lush is quite a heinous company. Their products are overpriced and laced with dodgy pongy chemicals.

Lush’s campaign was wrong because It was unclear - it visually linked a uniformed officer to the tagline on lying. There was no explanation on the fact it was about behaviour of undercover police. Of course the behaviour of undercover officers shouldn’t be beyond scrutiny - the case where officer gathered a child is shocking and should rightly be investigated. At the same time, it’s grossly irresponsible to smear uniformed officers like that.

Lush have form. They had an horrific campaign where a naked young woman was tortured live in a shop window. They also had a campaign where staff were pressured into wearing t shirts and getting lip prints on them - only young female attractive staff ofc. I saw staff in tears being pawed by men trying to leave lip prints on breasts etc. Grim.

Their individual staff are almost universally lovely ime but as a company they’re dubious.

Staff nice ( if a bit irritating at times) and some lovely products BUT I don’t agree with their political beliefs as an organisation. Teen dd likes it and buys a lot of bday presents for her friends from there
Plus one of their bath bombs turned dd green and when I complained they just said it hadn’t happened before - I Googled it and it had happened plenty of times before!

The shop keeper was nice but Lush lost my custom because of the anti police ads.
I found their ad campaign disgraceful. No doubt they would expect police help if a crime took place in one of their shops.

She sounds like a lovely member of staff but I refused to shop there after they supported hunt saboteurs.

That campaign ad, didn't show anything to didn't undercover cops

Many of their displays included '#Spycops' 'Spycops enquiry: truth or cover up?' 'Police spies out of lives' 'Spied on for taking a stand'. That seems pretty clear to me?

I will never shop there again the political posturing, abuse of the police and misogyny is deeply worrying to me. Nice smell covering vile behaviour

I used to love Lush but they lost my custom with the ill thought out police campaign

This...., Ive just found an alternative ethical local shop with beautiful products, but without the political messaging

So why have a uniformed officer on there then?

Undercover police and uniform police are still police. So undercover police pretended to be nonpolice by not wearing uniform but fact is fact: they were police on duty and paid to pretend to be something else and spy on women that didn't breach the law.Those women just had more principles, motivation and sence of justice than average citizen and thrived to change the world for the better. So that's what Lush has done too-spoke up for them and spoke up for activism and change.

However putting a picture of a uniformed police officer with the slogan saying paid to lie is horrible. What does that suggest? It suggests uniformed police are corrupt, and can't be trusted

That campaign ad, didn't show anything to didn't undercover cops, it showed a uniformed response officer stating they're liars.

So there you go, there's a clear argument

No it isn't, not at all I'm afraid. The ad shows a policeman, half in plainsclothes, half in uniform. That tells you the cop is undercover. It's provocative for a reason, it's supposed to make you think.

And 'paid to lie' suggests that it's the police system that is fucked up, rather than individual police officers.

Police officers claiming they're 'heartbroken' about the campaign should spare a thought for the women victims of the undercover cops.

They had an horrific campaign where a naked young woman was tortured live in a shop window.

Tortured? To show what exactly?

Oh yes that'll be what Laboratory animals endure .

Nope
They have drunk the trans koolaid and that anti police stuff

Might be good with kids but I'd never set foot in the place

So they torture a women instead?
You're saying it's ok for router someone to show what animal goes through?

No doubt they would expect police help if a crime took place in one of their shops.

Too right they bloody would, they pax tax, police don't police for free.

If it gets the message across.

What, you support future of humans?
And lush letting men kiss women's greats when they don't then too?

Kiss breasts

Plus I;m sure the woman chose to be there (the test subject not the police involvement)

And torture not future

Yeah but the staff wear pony butt plugs tails.

These are shampoos and soaps . Cosmetics not essentials.
In this day and age there is no need to test.
Theres also no need to sell in China, I;m sure China can make all the soap they want , there's no need to export it and perform their compulsary tests.

To say support the torture of humans is ridiculous , this is a stunt not something amnesty International is involved in.

Think there's far worse things main stream cosmetics companies do to get worked up about than publicising the spy cops inquiry and speaking up for the victims.

Fact is Lush have the strongest environmental, animal welfare and fair trade ethics of all the multi national cosmetics companies, they pay their taxes they donate to charities and they use their name to spread awareness of many worthy and sometimes controversial causes that match their ethos. They're certainly not perfect and there's mistakes and lessons learned along the way but they're the most ethical of any big company. Plus the quality of their mostly natural products and the results of using them I have personally experienced makes it very hard to find anything that could compare.

No I don't work for them, I did Xmas temp there once many years ago, bucking the trend here - I'd actually say the staff put me off. Certainly in my local shop the quality of staff and customer service has gone downhill. But have had lots of good experiences, it's just recently it seems.
