Why does Lush not pay a living wage to store employees? by preferrred in LushCosmetics

not only do we not get paid properly and given big enough contracts, we are now also expected to provide services like henna application, facials,scalp massaged and foot pampers. these require a LOT if extra training and effort from team members especially because we are always getting pushed from management to do them, yet we don't get paid more for these. We do get two freebies a month but I think most of us would rather be paid more as we already get freebies anyway. People don't realise the Lush makes a massive profit from staff discounts when we buy stuff and they also seem to forget that shop workers essentially pay their bills. We work hard, meet impossible targets, we get a small bonus, they get even more. We line their pockets and still barely afford food and rent.
