INSIDE debates: Flowers – fake or real?

We don’t sell flowers at INSIDE, but we use them in our photo shoots or for in-store display. Mary used to be a strict fresh-flowers-only person, but this got a big thumbs down from the sales staff. Apparently, real flowers bring insects into the shops. Obviously, we can’t have insects at INSIDE, so she had to give in, and to everyone’s surprise, she’s become a bit of a convert.
