Lululemon fired two employees that confronted masked robbers

Two Georgia women — including an assistant manager — are blasting Lululemon for sacking them from their jobs after they called the police while three masked men pillaged the store.

Shocking video shows the brazen thieves burst into the Peachtree Corners store in metro Atlanta earlier this month to grab as many fistfuls of athletic clothing as possible.

“No, no, no, you can march back out,” former assistant manager Jennifer Ferguson can be heard saying.

The looters — who had allegedly struck the store nearly a dozen times prior — momentarily stood in the store doorway and stared at the women before jumping back inside to snatch several more pairs of leggings.

“Seriously? Get out,” the frustrated retail worker says to the men.

The women follow the group outside and watch as they pile into their getaway car, but notably do not try to physically stop the thieves — which has caused workers to lose their jobs or face charges in the past.

Instead, they reported the robbery to the Gwinnett Police Department, who later tracked down the thieves and charged them with felony robbery charges.

Both women said they weren’t given “specific reasoning” for their immediate terminations other than that Lululemon has a “no-tolerance policy.”

According to Jason, the women were told it would “look bad for Lululemon to be the company calling the police.”

Gwinnett was the first county in Georgia to go Red back in the early 80s.  Now that it has gone back Blue, this is the result.

Maybe going out of business looks better...

Maybe the thieves are running an insurance scam with the owner...

I doubt they can still afford to buy insurance.
