Previously, Lush and I didn't get along too well. My social anxiety mixed with the lively (but lovely) staff at Lush just didn't work. In fact, I never really gave it a chance. I'd walk into a store, head down, ready to grab my go-to products and make a run for the tills. I'd never have time to browse the products due to the fear of being asked my favourite scent, for me to answer with either the generic 'fruity' or something stupid, like 'petrol' or 'tuna', you know, the standard answers?!
This post is not shaming Lush or their staff at all, yes, I'm often put off when I'm approached by staff in stores as I prefer to browse at my own pace and hate feeling pushed to buy a product, but at the same time, when I worked in retail, I loved helping customers, so I totally get it.
