New lows in MLMs

[pantsparty]

Apparently everyone who purchased a Starbucks unicorn sugar smoothie SHOULD HAVE spent that money supporting her local MLM friend. Because, yaknow, LLR doesn't make any money when leggings are sold. Nor does Starbucks pay their employees.

This just makes me want to spite drink a dumb unicorn drink. AND I DON'T WANT TO. BUT I WILL OUT OF SPITE.

I saw a Rodan & Fields post that was similar. People have no damn shame.

[wambam]

I would give $5 to Starbucks over an MLM every day and twice on Tuesday.

[cleo29]

LOL Love the rant her her product plug.

[Leeham Rimes]

guess she didn't have a high selling day yesterday with her leggings and lady parts cream.

She mad.

[steph96]

Coochy. <gag>

[mskitkat]

She knows that the people working for Starbucks aren't actually volunteers, yes? They get paychecks.

[adhdfashion]

Straight up shameless.

[miniroller]

I've got her "coochy shaving cream" right phuckin here...😒

If I had to choose between an MLM and lighting $20 on fire,

I have disliked every MLM I've ever been suckered into trying.

MLM has ruined friendships. People don't want to be my friend, they want to sell me their shit and I find that very sad.

Also, Starbucks isn't bothering people by adding them to pop up sale groups you didn't ask to be in and posting incessantly on their page about how you need to support their MLM bc millionaires don't need 5 pools.

How do you sign up and sell that with a straight face. I'd get the invite and swear it was a joke.

I will never, ever forget a deposition i attended once. The woman was being asked about what doctors she sees on a regular basis. She said "I see the coochie doctor".

And why do we have to give it , what they think is, a cutesy name? gah

1) Are your leggings caffeinated? No? Then FUCK OFF.

2) Coochy shaving cream? Do I want to know? If this is something trying to convince me I need to shave my bush because it's dirty, then FUCK OFF.

3) I sure as shit am glad that when I worked food service jobs, people bought our products so that I, you know, STILL HAD A GODDAMNED JOB. I'm pretty sure the cashier at my neighborhood coffee shop who has 9-month-old twins works for an actual paycheck.

4) I hate everyone.

5) FUCK OFF! Have I mentioned that yet?

[Deleted]

But Starbucks didn't use network marketing, if anything wouldn't it be viral marketing?

I do not understand the correlation.

I'm having trouble too.

I guess that Starbucks the company made bank, but the baristas didn't?

But then, how does that translate into coochy cream? 

[mrssandro]

Actually I have seen a ton of LLR MLM actually get called out because of the Unicorn connection when they have Unicorn prints. It was like a win day for them.

Coochy cream sounds so disgusting. Nope.

[knx9211]

Coochy? SERIOUSLY? I hate this person. Set them on fire.

Also, yeah, I'm pretty sure that the person who made your drink at Starbucks receives a paycheck. What an idiotic thing to say.

and and AND that person didn't have to dump $5k+ of their own money into the business that they might never get back in order to potentially pull that paycheck.

[Deleted]

Starbucks wouldn't attempt to shame me for buying coochy cream (ha, which I wouldn't buy anything from a MLM) and then act like I'm displacing all the barista families for not buying their drink.

1) companies are evil 2) people bitch about MLMs using network marketing BUT LOOK STARBUCKS IS DOING IT TOO SO THERE 3) buy stuff from me so I make money directly.

This. WTF is she even talking about?
What does one have to do with the other? She is mad all the Instagram posts sold more frappes?
Or is she mad that the word "unicorn" was used by SB and that people want that unicorn more than LLRs unicorn?

All your spare money needs to go to the shit they're selling because Starbucks is rich enough and they want you to directly fund their retirement dreams.

[WOUNDTIGHT]

What in the mother fucking fucking fuck? Coochy Shaving Cream is an actual MLM?

[Deleted]

I sincerely don't get the premise of the argument. They're two totally different business and marketing models that I don't get how they could be remotely comparable. I don't get how these sort of posts sway anyone.


One could point out the fact that if Starbucks got $1 million dollar profit in one day it's a better model than the coochy cream.

[readyin07]

Oh the humanity. Seriously everyone I know is schilling something these days. I do just a teeny tiny bit feel,jealous when one person posted a pretty nice beach getaway she surprised her H with using "just" her money from selling that face stuff. Another face stuff person said she bought tickets for a ski trip, lift tickets and ski school with hers. But I still have my soul so that's cool.

I mean obviously this is on Pure Romance. They need to get on creating a Coochy Cream Snapchat filter already.

[wambam]

I use my H's after shave on my coochy and it's just fine.

Not the point, I know.
