Excessive packaging = no clothes?
Okay, so there’s this store down in Westlake Center (in Seattle) called LUSH, which sells soaps and shampoos and stuff. Some of their signs are a bit… interesting… so I usually stay away from it.
I’m definitely staying away today.
Apparently, the company has decided to protest overexcessive packaging by… having their employees come to work in nothing but their aprons today, for about a half hour (the PI’s blog said it was at noon today).
O-kay…
Any of you boys who live down near the city go down to see this? I’m afraid that if I had’ve been working today, and it was up at my mall, I would’ve turned around and went home, calling into work saying that I was too offended by the inappropriateness to come into work.

Inappropriate sure, but that’s kinda the point of a publicity stunt like this. You’ll be happy to know that a number of people did call 911 in regards to this though. The newspapers shot of the apron-only LUSH employees with three guys standing behind them taking cell phone pictures is priceless though…
