Not sure if others have received emails from Ocado after withdrawing their custom due to the billboard issue - but I received this today:

^Dear Peas

Recently one of our customer services representatives, in a response on Twitter, inadvertently entered into a debate that did not relate to Ocado, our marketing, or our values. This issue was not for Ocado to comment on and as a result, the Tweet was withdrawn.

We apologise for any confusion or offence that this message may have caused. At Ocado we believe passionately in a culture of inclusion and creating an environment around our business that is completely free from discrimination, harassment and victimisation of any sort.

I apologise again for any confusion or offence caused, and I do hope you reconsider.

Kind regards,

Stephanie Richardson
Ocado Customer Service Team^

Random customer services folks don't get to drive the social media accounts! Dear god I have to manage 8 of the bastards and no one gets my passwords not even my MD.

I hope the CSR was sacked.

Tell them to apologise publicly and stand up for women’s rights.
Or fuck off.

FekkoTheLawyer · 22/10/2018 17:32

Which says what exactly? Again - a public announcement but a private explanation?not apology).

Try again ocado!

Wouldn’t it be nice if they made a public statement on their actual values

Amazing how many times inclusion does not involve women. Does seem a bit too little too late. They must have lost a lot of customers

NotMeOhNo · 22/10/2018 17:31

Are they still not saying this waffly bullshit publicly?
