Working in Retail: Big Dreams Vs. Retail Realities (Ep. 1)
The shop I work in we filled in the crime report after 2 of my staff got hit by a car by a shoplifter took 5 months before the police ask us if we were OK. We no longer fill them out as its pointless.
Wow this is absolutely shocking. What did the employer do? Stay safe out there 💛
@@theshopflawmy store manager sent everything to the area manager that then sent it to his boss besides that not much as come out of it. The 2 staff are fine and are back at work a month ago, will take more then that to make us quit.
Tote yes but yellow and black I wouldn’t wear
Nor would we 😂 white text on black?
Watched a girl swipe an entire rail of lounge wear into a big ikea bag and run off in Victorias secret. Bold move 😂
No wonder it went under! 😂💀
Great guest ❤
Thank you SO much 💛
Hannah who? ❤
I enjoyed this chat as i cleaned my room
Thank you SO much 💛
Enjoyed this podcast and the highlight on mental health
Thank you SO much 💛
Hello sir, Nice to see your content you are really doing well❤ . I am a video editor but here I notice video editing part …video editing can convert your content to Next Level and Viral💥 if your videos look attractive then you can get huge engagement and convert your revenue/channel growth 5x more. I also do Thumbnails design, Video SEO and I am a video editor. If your say then I will do for it with 100% satisfaction, its not video editing it about telling a story about your self business or may be the world around in today's everyone try to tell there own story but sometimes words are not enough and the come video editing and I am also able to provide a trial editing sample🎬. So can I?
I just wanted to say first off, love the podcast!! I studied Fashion and now work in Fashion in London and the content is such high quality. Also, I had so many things I wanted to say while watching this episode. Jasmine is soooo right about them having a sense of exclusivity based on the store location, I grew up in India and again would watch all of these youtubers in America at the time and ALL of them shopped at brandy melville. It felt inexpicably 'cool' to wear brandy melville as a teenage girl and I remember when I went on a german exchange programme in school, the brandy melville store was on the top of mine (and all my friends) list of places we wanted to go in Munich because we couldn't get it back home, which is so wild looking back, the brand rlly had 11-15 year old girls in a chokehold all over the world!! Now I'm older and don't shop fast fashion but one of my younger cousins sometimes asks to go shopping at brandy melville and it makes me sad to see that brandy has managed to keep that age group and consumer who is too young to know better and question their brand values, espically becaise there is already so much pressure on young girls to look a certain way. Also, if you two want a laugh, google the brandy melville tiny door in paris it is soooo bizzare, talk about taking the whole one-size thing to the next level...
Wow thank you so much!!! And thank you for sharing your really interesting take on Brandy Melville. It’s a complex company!! Please like and subscribe, it really helps!!! 💫💫
Great episode as always!!
That means so much to us! Thank you! Xx

Been hearing a lot of people move abroad like Australia, Dubai. London is not worth it, so Atleast tax free is one way to go then come back to London if you’d like.
We’ve heard the same. London is still where our heart is though! Xx
Love these two. Politicians listen up!!!!!
