Disney Sells Perfume?

Sephora's workplace is considered a "stage." The employees are "cast members" and their uniforms are "costumes."

In 2008, Jezebel conducted a very revealing interview with a Sephora employee and found out that working at Sephora is like being a performer. Here's how "Jasmine," the Sephora employee who used a pseudonym during the interview, details life "on set."

She said, "The 'stage' is the sales floor. Then 'backstage' is anywhere that isn't the sales floor. I'm not an employee, I'm a 'cast member.' It's never called a uniform, it's called a 'costume.' And I mean... that's just like, wearing black. Your bosses are 'leadership.'"


Do Disney cast members get "gifts?"

Yeah, they took the terminology as their own. Disney came up with it but I know a few companies that do the same thing, and I am positive there are many that I don't know.

The vocabulary is a tool. It works. It isn't possible to copyright and licence. Thus one shouldn't be surprised that other organizations will pick up on it and use it. Universal has hired so many Disney managers that it's becoming the norm there, for example.

Disney does sell perfume, and has for a long time. The Parfumery in New Orleans Square was perhaps only the second shop in the US where guests could blend their own scent. Cheap scents are also on the shelf for tweens in a number of shops today.

And to answer the other question, yes -- Disney Cast Members do receive gifts. I received everything from a free popsicle to a set of crystal ears over my time.
