Oh dear

That's crap! I get sick of being followed around in the store like a shop lifter (I'm not, just to be clear.) I love their products, but it sounds like I need to reconsider.

How many cases do we need to read about before we realise underpaying staff is systematic in Australia?

Visited the flagship store on Oxford St a few years ago. The smell in the store was nauseating. I was ignored for 20 minutes before I finally got served. Staff didn't really seem to care about any customer service. Never purchased from a UK store again.

I stopped buying Lush a long time ago, mainly because of all the rumours going on about their habits of mistreating employees in combination with the everything but cheap price tags. I loved their stuff - but I don't support overpriced employee scams. RespectYourEmployees

What a disappointment. Another company off the list.

How about care companies ? We are being underpaid holiday pay in addition to getting less than NMW at night. They’ll take the piss until they’re MADE to pay it. This govt is having the P taken out of them by them flouting rules - they’re laughing at you BorisJohnson

You can’t get away with that shit except in 3rd world countries and the US

I’ve never used them. I went into their shop once and couldn’t cope with the overwhelming odeur of their products. How anyone works in there all day beats me.

thanks
