JoeKnight Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Well, it happened again. A 3 guys in NY state walked out of a VS and stole 231 bra's at a value of $11,000. storyMy question: how do you walk out with that many bra's and not get stopped? Quote
I LOVE ADRIANA Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 ^ Were they planning on wearing the bras or what?! Quote
JoeKnight Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I know. Maybe there's a black market for bras Quote
I LOVE ADRIANA Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 There must be. I'm sure they're just going to sell all of them. Quote
PinkCouture Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 Well, it happened again. A 3 guys in NY state walked out of a VS and stole 231 bra's at a value of $11,000. storyMy question: how do you walk out with that many bra's and not get stopped? I can answer your question. Limited Brands (and most other retail corporations) forbid shoplifters from being stopped and retained. Even if a shoplifting incident was witnessed, the only thing the stores can do is try to recover the item(s). Example, "I see you have selected some of our Very Sexy bras. We have some new panties that would go well with the bra. Let me show you." But based on the incident describe above, it was an organized crime incident so a recovery statement would not have worked Stores may not accuse anyone of stealing b/c the accused can then technically sue the company (and it has happened before.) As for what the shoplifters could do with the stolen goods. 1) They could sell it on the black market as suggested. 2) Sell it on eBay. 3) Return it to the store for merchandise credit. 4) Create fake receipts for the items and get cash back. I deal with shoplifters everyday at work. I got so more LP stories than Jenna Jameson has had... Quote
JoeKnight Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 wow, thanks PC. BTW any updates for launches. Is adriana doing the launch for angel wish thing this week. Quote
I LOVE ADRIANA Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Pink, is it true that VS won't be selling any of the santa outfits this year? I was wanting to buy the outfit this year. Quote

I LOVE ADRIANA Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 I know, Joe. So Pink, I know I was hating on Heidi but I must say I love the limited edition lipstick and gloss she has out... Quote
PinkCouture Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 ^ I have to agree, the lipstick is fabulous Honestly, I highly doubt she contributed that much to the line I think VS pretty much just slapped her name on make-up to bank on her fame. Quote
PinkCouture Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 Sample of this year's VS Holiday 2008 shoppers, gift card holder, and VSFS 2008 flyer. Sorry for the bad quality I snapped it quickly at work in-between clients with my camera phone...hahaha .... Quote
I LOVE ADRIANA Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I'm totally loving the lipstick. Now I just need the gloss. Also, tonight I just purchased the Extreme Lip Plumper... it feels like I rubbed jalapeno on my lips. But hey, it works! I got it for a steal too because like you know it is $26 but today I bought it for $10! I already have 3 secret santa gift cards. Also, my VS is hiring and I'm finally going to turn in an application. lol. I hope I'll get hired because I know pretty much everything about their bras and beauty products. Like today, for example, I was helping my older cousin pick out a bra and I was telling her all the differences between the bras and she laughed at me and was all "You need to work here." And I do... I want to. What do they look for on an application? Quote
PinkCouture Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 ^ Honestly??? Someone with open availability or is very flexible with their schedule. You must be willing to work long hours and willing to stay longer if needed. They will ask you to lift, clean, and do tedious work. And I said this before, you have to be aggressive when selling---and yes that does occasionally mean shoving products onto customers. And standing around looking cute and pretty is not an option!!! You don't understand how it frustrates me when associates do that...arghhh <_< ... And know that you are disposable I know that sounded harsh, but that's the way they think. So many girls want to work at VS, so if you aren't "top talent" you can easily be replaced Everyone thinks working at VS is so glamorous, but it is totally not. It is hard work and you must have a thick skin. Some of the most nasty people you may encounter are not clients, but your fellow associates and often your bosses :| I have been in the company long enough to know how the stores operate, and I have witness a lot of things that aren't so glamorous or "pretty" I am not saying it is a horrible place to work nor it is all bad. It is a fun place to work if you have a sense of humor and stay focus on why you are there (Y) Also, some of the perks include trying out new products and being around products you love I am planning to leave the company soon. Like they say, why do I need sex when my job f*ck with me on a daily basis (see, sense of humor! ) Anyways, whether or not I will return to company only the future can tell Quote
I LOVE ADRIANA Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks so much for your suggestions. Aww, that'll make me so sad if you leave the company. We won't get anymore VS news posts. Quote
PinkCouture Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 ^ I am sure you all will manage to find a way to get exclusive VS News If you get the position at VS let me know if you need anything Quote
