Well, whatever shiny corporate human rights policy they have, it is utterly meaningless if it is not enforced at each store.

But then she wouldn’t have a disturbing visual image to share on instagram, which I rather suspect is the real reason for the corset. I’m pretty sure that this is the impetus behind much of their behavior, actually.

Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff are of the same generation, a.k.a. a little old for this shit.

Never heard of a “waist trainer” but I have heard of a corset. That is a corset. There’s nothing sane about working out in a corset.

Heads up:

You seem both obnoxious and pathetic.

Do you have any particular reason to doubt the facts as presented?

Horrible, and yet it sounds almost idyllic before Dr. Freeman’s tenure. White people: ruining things since forever.

Where I live the hairstylists rent the chair from the salon and keep their own earnings. Those chair rental fees are high enough to cover the salon’s overhead and rent and a profit I presume, but they are steep enough that a haircut costs about $80, and takes about a half-hour. The only places that you can get your…

You’re right- I did miss that x2, although if it’s just a walk-in place, then they won’t be booked as solidly as you’ve calculated for. I used to do a similar job booking clients for multiple practitioners in health center and it’s very difficult to build up a packed back-to-back solid 10 hour x 6 day x 5 practitioner…

So you’re figuring that you are paying $25/hr and the shop is paying the barber $20/hr? That seems very unrealistic. I very much doubt that the shop’s owners are paying for rent, overhead, utilities and a receptionist for $5/hr. I think your math is way off.

Ugh. Racial caste system.

That’s ridiculous. That seems like a fairly obvious red flag that the staff are not being paid minimum wage.

Common sense must be part of it; if you’re paying prices that are too low to cover someone’s minimum wage, they’re definitely not making minimum wage.

Well you don’t just run the faucet down the drain!

You could make a pretty decent argument that the money and political power made off of opposing abortion completely hijacked our country’s political process.

It’s such an odd election (non) issue. Canadians feel pretty much the same as Americans on the issue (though we are a bit more pro-choice due to being a lot less religious on average) and here abortion was legalized-with certain conditions- in 1969 and completely decriminalized in 1988. Every once in a while you’ll…

I agree; the only purpose of this book is to provide juicy details for nosy parkers and make money for Donovan. I would be so angry if I were one of the victims who trusted him, only to have him turn around and try to make a quick buck off my trauma.
