Shocking prejudice at virgin active

There was a promotion of VIctoria'S seret perfume at VIrgin ACtive menlyn.WHen I had approached the club to ask if I could also promote my product,I was refused.THe person who refused is the club manager RObert.I enquired why and he said that he only does cross marketing with VIctoria's Secret.SUrely there needs to be some consistency.I mean if he allowed some people to do marketing,then should he not allow me?HE Said that it would benefit the club if he allowed the sales of perfume,but my product could also benefit the club as it was also perfume.THat is just his excuse.UPon further investigation it was discovered that he broke every rule of the health club to accommodate these women to promote their perfume as he was pally with them.HE is most certainly tarnishing the good image of VIrgin.SHeryl at head office confirmed that no vending was allowed at the clubs.I want MR BRanson to become immediately aware of what is happening at the clubs and comment.I felt prejudiced and discriminated against as some people did do vending so why not me?A portion of the sales I could have made was supposed to go to the needy.I did not expose to media as yet,need satisfactory response.
