ATTN: All Lululemon fans!

[kiMMie]

Important info below about returning items at Lululemon:

**Warning**

Lululemon staff are highly trained in "crotch sniff test". If you are to return items to this retail store, please ensure that you will go through a humilating and devastating public experience when returning clothing items at the front counter. Please be advised that they may also be trained in "armpit sniff test".

[True Story]

Friend of a friend had received a pair of Lululemon pants as a gift. Unfortunately, the item was too big, and she wanted to exchange it. She proceeded to the store with gift still wrapped in tissue paper, price tags intact, gift card within the box. She arrived at the front counter, and the sales associate listened to her story and proceeded to take the unworn item out of its original box and unfolded it. She, then, lifted the item up in the air and took an extra-long whiff in the crotch region. Friend of a friend was completely MORTIFIED!

She gasped at the thought of other customers staring, and asked the sales associate, "What are you doing?"

Sales associate replied, "I'm just checking whether or not this item is worn. It's policy that we do this."

Friend of a friend bursts out, "Forget it... I want a full refund. I don't think I want anything from this store."

With refund in hand, she never step foot again into Lululemon.

No.. what would be better is if they sniffed it and then called the person by name!!! IE: oh this must be <insert smelly person's name here>

[wum]

sounds like they're just trying to call your bluff. it's like when someone says "blow me" and you're like, okay!

I heard this story via a cell phone convo at work. I fell out of the chair and was laughing and disgusted for about 25 mins.

And Kraig, they would probably only call it by name if a person had a "return record" on file. Staff whiffs, passes to other staff and says, "Recognize the scent?"

So that's why you never have a V.P.L., it all makes sense now.... :p

[Hot Karl]

i call bullshit.

[kiMMie]

Do new staff have to go through proper sniff training??? If you don't do it properly, would they receive a tutor??? :047: Or take some special training course?

Again, the sales associate explained this was the return policy process. Why would anyone lie about that one?

[lola_phyne]

Ew ew ew. I am grossed out beyond belief.

[Oscar Da Grouc]

because you wouldn't be able to enforce this policy. smells are subjective.

not to mention, what exactly would lululemon do if a person failed the sniff test but the item had tags on it. does it say "only refundable if item passes sniff test" on the receipt? probably not. probably says "receipt and tags on item for any exchange or refund".

um, how about the fact that training RETAIL staff to do this would be like training your cashier to do the plumbing?

oh wait, you heard it via some cellphone conversation. that definetely makes it true.

oh yea, people could easily lie about this because lots of people hate lululemon.

oh did i mention that this would be absolutely retarded for customer service? this "story" reads like one of those stupid emails that goes around.

maybe she's just trying to be funny. i searched google and didn't come up with anything close. if this were a real policy, i'd expect at least someone else on the internet to have mentioned it. it just sounds too crazy.
