OFF TOPIC (somewhat) but do not know where to post this.
Something happened recently that made me rethink my purchasing loyalty to MAC.
On Monday, I went to the counter and saw a group of people doing makeup sessions instead of the usual group of ladies who greeted me. A lady came up and I asked her what was going on. It turned out that the counter ladies who helped me during the last year were no longer with MAC. Only two people (who I barely knew) remained and the makeup sessions were actually part of the interviews for replacing the group.
Later on, I was privy to information and I felt that with what I heard, I cannot in good conscience visit that counter. And I do not know if I want to purchase MAC products as well.
Out of respect for the people who I came to know as kind-hearted spirits, I am skipping the Glamour Daze collection, and most likely, future collections.
Edited to add: No, I do not intend to denigrate anyone who buys MAC products now and in the future. And if you have a great set of counter staff who are sweet and help you immensely, continue to visit them.

Nope, not Seattle. I am talking about a counter in Fort Wayne, IN. BTW, the visitors conducting the makeup interviews, plus the coverage help all came from Indianapolis and Chicago.OK OK OK! At least tell me which counter you go to...is it somewhere in SEATTLE?!!!!

Nope, they know better than selling on EvilBay. They would be fired much sooner if they pulled that stunt!

I would assume not, unless MadTheologian has not updated the location on their profile. Looks like this has been answered!OK OK OK! At least tell me which counter you go to...is it somewhere in SEATTLE?!!!!
It's unfortunate, but if MAC is cracking down on something (just speculating), then good for them. Luckily, I love the crew at the counters I visit, so I hope they stick around for a long while!
Hmm, wonder what it could have been for it wasn't an ebay issue...

The girls at my MAC counter (except for one) are all so catty. I'm use to women being that way... but in general, it rubs me the wrong way. I feel almost judged or maybe in my insecure thinking; ugly. That's why I stopped buying from the counters. I try to just buy online. Only when I need to BU (If its not online) do I go to the counters.

Oh ok! well I will quit being nosey
I wish the people at my mac store here at SOUTHCENTER! yes I named them! would be nicer and more helpful! I usually order my goods online because it is so ridiculous in there. How hard is it to be nice? I worked in retail for 5+ yrs and can't imagine being that rude to costumers!
