Episode Details

Susan drops by to talk about her experiences managing a Clinique counter at a department store. We'll learn the three words that every beauty counter employee dreads: "Gift With Purchase."  We'll also talk about the waste behind the scenes.  This is part one of two.

Read Susan's legendary essay here.

We'll also hear small business audio essays from Old Flame Mending and Rabbit Person.  And Amanda shares how you can integrate "progress not perfection" into your own work toward a more sustainable, ethical world.

You can either call the Clotheshorse hotline at ‪(717) 925-7417‬ or record an audio message on your phone and send it via email.  Or you can just send an email: amanda@clotheshorse.world.
