Haerle, J.
I. INTRODUCTION
Crystal Morgan, Karla Sylvester and Janay Famous (plaintiffs or appellants) filed this lawsuit against their former employer Wet Seal, Inc., and Wet Seal Retail, Inc. (Wet Seal). Plaintiffs alleged that Wet Seal violated California law by requiring employees to (1) purchase Wet Seal clothing and merchandise as a condition of employment and (2) travel between Wet Seal business locations without reimbursing them for mileage.
This appeal is from an order denying plaintiffs’ class certification on the grounds that common questions do not predominate over individual questions with respect to either of their claims and that utilizing the class action *1345 procedure is not the superior method for resolving this lawsuit. Appellants raise a panoply of issues on appeal but none provides any basis for reversal. Accordingly, we affirm the order denying class certification.
