Ocado boycott after support of Primesight action part 2

Ooh yes, I just got one- asked to be removed yesterday

Previously had one a Fortnight and wasn't due one for two weeks.

Since I asked to be removed from the Ocado customer lists I have been receiving emails from them daily when I didn't before. Is anyone else finding this

First Waitrose order placed. Very pleased to note that if you click through to the website via Quidco (cashback site, free to join) you get £20 cashback for the first FIVE deliveries, then can get £2 thereafter.

With free delivery from Waitrose and not having to pay for the Smartpass (which only gave us midweek deliveries) we're actually going to do quite well out of this switch! Thanks Ocado, for reminding me that I have a choice of retailers. Convenience made me complacent.

All this talk of taking umbrage is making me feel as if I'm in a Barbara Pym novel.

Just trans peaked the Waitrose delivery guy

If anyone from Ocado is reading, they might like to note the articles in the Sunday Times and The Mail on Sunday about Stephanie Hayden, one of the group of activists who claims to have convinced Primesight to take down the poster giving a dictionary definition of woman.

Stephanie didn't need the dictionary definition of women to know to go after Graham Linehan's wife when HE posted information pertaining to the multiple identities of Stephanie and their business dealings.

woman disobeys the cult, go after her
man disobeys the cult, go after the closest woman.

And the aim is not to distress her, but to take her down completely.

I still very rarely darken the doors of Boots or M&S having taken umbrage at their staff’s snotty attitude to customers in the 1980s.
Superdrug/Lloyd’s Chemists and BHS/Debs got my custom instead - I really regret the demise of BHS, got some great knickers there.

I took umbrage with Tesco in 2003. They failed to deliver my online delivery three days in a row and charged my bloody card each time! By the end I was £300 out of pocket and still had no food and I demanded they give back my money and they said 'we can't do that for fourteen days.'
Can you tell I am still cross?
At that point I switched to Ocado, who were good in those days. I was happily anticipating using Ocado again when this happened. If I am capable of being cross with Tesco for this long I can do the same with Ocado.

Customers can clearly see how ridiculous this is. But not Ocado. A public apology is needed.

There

Get the issue out their anyway you can.

Anyone want to email their local gurdwara and mosque about this whole issue, including information on The Gender Recognition act explaining why the boycott is happening?

TrumpsToddler yes you are absolutely right. I had mentioned Ocado's sometimes poor packing, but as we rely on home delivery and it was always easy to get a slot at short notice and they have a wide range, I kept going back regardless as it was just so convenient.

I could have saved about £30 this week with the deals I had chosen and turned down a free smart pass for 12 months too :(

I will not tolerate this disrespect. I also hold a longstanding grudge against Tesco!

I boycotted International Stores, which is probably why they no longer exist.

My employer paid my wages into someone else's account and they wanted to charge me for going overdrawn. It was the fact that the charge was disproportionate to the accidental overdraft that pissed me off. And this was in the good old days when I could pop in the bank and talk to a human being.

Hold a grudge !

@redshoes. I’m laughing because all those poking fun at us boycotting ocardo and feeling they have won don’t give shinny crap about that company anyway. They won’t support them. It’s a one way street. Ocardo I have no sympathy for, obviously they thought the picking popular side.

I need to know why now what happened in 1978 with NatWest, do I need to give them evil eye 🤣

I think the woke folk don't understand that 82% of Ocado's customers are women.

Even sadder is that Ocado don't fucking understand it either.

I also guessing the don’t read those name big branded companies who quote as approved by mumsnetters

I might have to have that post deleted. I cannot be that old

Just wanted to say that misguided on twitter think it amusing we boycotting Ocardo.

They don’t believe mumsnetters have any impact on these companies. I’m sure that luxury hotel spa? would beg to differ when they was going to be stampeded by lots of angry protesters

I think I win.
I took umbridge with the NatWest in 1978
And I've never been back.

I have a decade of boycotting argos, I do hold a grudge.

I think it's important to stress to Ocado that the reason we're boycotting is because of this issue rather than any problems with the service. They (and any other companies that may have a female customer base) need to be aware that we're prepared to sacrifice convenience and good service for a principal. I bet they're sitting back expecting us to be back by Xmas. Ain't happening here, Ocado. I took umbrage with Tesco in 2008 and haven't set foot in one since.

Remember when Ocado Annie used to pop up on here all the time to answer Ocado related questions? Wonder where he/she is now?

They tried to ring me but didn't get through. I will tell them that I will only return to Ocado if they (i) force PrimeSight to reinstate the entirely legal and inoffensive billboard, or (ii) stop doing business with PrimeSite.
