To report this to Superdrug head office

[GiveHerHellFromUs]

I went to Superdrug today to get my eyebrows waxed.

There was a mother and daughter in the queue ahead of me. The beautician (i dont know if that's her job title) asked how old the girl was. Mum said she was 15 and asked if she was old enough (she'd already paid and the question hadn't been asked at that stage).

Beautician ummed and ahhed and said company policy was 16.
Mum went to speak to another employee who came over and said to beautician "her mums given her permission and you do kids when you think nobody's watching anyway, so just do it."

Now normally I'd turn a blind eye but I was a asked to sign a medical disclaimer so I'd say Superdrug, as a company, must take their policies quite seriously. Would you report this to their head office or would you mind your own business? (Quite happy to be told to my own!)

Ps if anyone's interested my eyebrows look shite.

@magnetic1s I'm a real wimp and can't bear the prolonged agony of threading!

FFS, I'm not quite sure people are getting the point here...

OP ISN'T bothered by a 15 year old with parental consent having her brows done.

OP IS bothered that the company have policies and procedures in place to ensure that their work is carried out safely and efficiently yet they have staff openly stating that these rules are being broken "when nobody is looking". What other corners are these particular employees cutting when no one is there to point out that they aren't sticking to the rules?

I probably wouldn't complain but I wouldn't be using them again.

Oops that was for @Fedupwithmyhouse

@magnetic1s I might learn to crochet angry letters

Been getting my eyebrows waxed since the age of 10. Get a grip OP.

Thanks @BlueEyedFloozy. I was beginning to wonder whether I'd written the post in another language by accident because some people miss the point entirely

OP is hiding behind the 'policies and procedures' as an excuse to be difficult.

I agree with most here. Get a life OP.

We haven't missed the point we just see straight through you.

@TantricTwist there's no big conspiracy theory here. Don't get your knickers in a twist. What are you 'seeing through' exactly?

I asked a genuine question, got told I was being unreasonable and to get a grip and completely and wholeheartedly accepted that response.

What do you want me to do? Grovel for the forgiveness of the Mumsnet Gods for daring to feel differently about something than you do?

I really wouldn't worry OP, I've been on the receiving end of it too.

I'm sure some people would reply to your angry letter with an angry response letter just to get the final dig 🤣

Why post on AIBU

AIBU = Yes

@TantricTwist I asked if I was unreasonable - most posters said yes. I said ok, thanks for your input, I'll accept I'm unreasonable.

Are you upset that I didn't do the standard thing of arguing that I'm not unreasonable meaning you can't kick me for that?

Give over Tantric

What's with the 'we' and 'I agree with most here. Get a life OP'?

A few posters have made totally over-the-top replies. Around half haven't. You're creating a narrative that isn't here, to be part of an imaginary group offensive. It's not even a particularly racy thread.

It's a franchise, is it not. What are Super drug going to do.
