Lululemon is facing backlash after firing two employees who called the police during an armed robbery at their Peachtree City store. The company’s CEO Calvin McDonald has defended the firings, claiming that the employees broke company policy by engaging with the thieves. This decision has ignited anger among conservative consumers who are questioning Lululemon’s ethics and values. Furthermore, the assistant manager Jennifer Ferguson has revealed that Lululemon prohibits its employees from apprehending thieves, intimidating them into silence, and even requiring them to scan QR codes instead of calling the police. This policy endangers employees and customers, especially considering the growing epidemic of retail theft and burglary. It is time for Lululemon to reconsider their “reckless” policies and prioritize the welfare of their employees and customers.
