M&S

Bold fail, sorry. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The fetishistic reviews were left up in spite of their attention being brought to the issue.
Their attitude to single sex changing rooms in a world of up skirting and cameras being left in dressing areas.

As the great saying goes "when someone shows you who they are, believe them".
So I do.

M&S dont have a nice attitude to women.

Yes, yes, yes to all of the above. Plus their utterly dismissive, patronising and just downright rude email responses to women's concerns, which boiled down to "you're just a nasty bigoted pointless woman so we're not going to respond to you anymore".

As sad as I am for the (mostly female) workforce who will be hit by store closures, I have no sympathy for M&S.

I've not cancelled my sparks card just in case anyone is running any reports to see customer spend has changed. Obviously individuals won't make a difference but enough will show them there's been an abrupt change. They'd probably put it down to covid though.

Let's face it they don't care what their female customers think, they are another organisation that patronisingly thinks they know better what we should think

We can't rely on M&S to be sensible any more.

If M&S is not a solid practical workhorse of a brand shunning fads to give people what they need then what is it?

Nobody wants expensive dull wokery.

Well since changing rooms aren’t open at the moment, why would that make a difference!

I’ve been boycotting them for a year now. Won’t spend a penny with them. Soon to be mum of 3, higher earner. I should be squarely their target market. They can fuck right off.

I'm not big on boycotts either, but M&S wont sink because I dont buy their school socks .
Fortunately Dunnes Stores have upped their game and their socks are just fine for school.

What may sink them is the attitude.

[quote Galvantula]@FionaMacCool it seems they may have cleaned up the reviews.

I haven't been on for a while either, but just went and selected a few pants at random and there were no obvious "man tucking" ones there. Previously it was on almost every one, except for boring practical cotton ones of course 🤔[/quote]
Tangas and suspenders are still popular with the likes of Damien, girlyboy and Doug

Did M&S not get cancelled for sticking Harry Potter merchandise? Or is it just small companies that get bullied

(And judging by the availability of items, the clothing range is very popular)

After I read those reviews and learned about what some of their penis people customers like to do with clothes and on the floor of the mixed sex changing rooms, and that M&S enthusiastically supported this as a Jolly Good Thing, I wouldn't buy anything from there or even go in there without putting on a hazmat suit first. Never mind have any good associations with their brand. Have some lovely cashmere ladies! Freshly wanked on this morning!

Shudder.

Their inability to stock their popular products in popular sizes is what blocks me from buying. The website annoys me. Good on imagery, shite on functionality. - YES, THIS!!

The only things I ever buy from M&S are school uniform and underwear and sleepwear. And every time I go into our local M&S store for these things it pisses me right off. They never have a range of sizes. Always sold out on basics like school shirts (my son will only wear the M&S collar shirts, no other shirt will do). Website too. Seriously, they need to get their stock levels sorted.

I still try to buy from them because I like their products, especially underwear and school clothes. I am not one for boycotts.

Perverted comments from men in the underwear reviews describing how ‘supportive’ the knickers are.

@FionaMacCool what comments? I've just had a quick look but couldn't see what you were referring to

Didn't the baroness send M&S a letter about changing rooms?

I removed myself from their mailing lists; and havent shopped there for about 12 months. almost broke when searching for school socks.

This is purely on the basis of the comments under the women's underwear section of their website.

It's there in plain sight, and I wont support it actively or tacitly.

Did anyone ever get a reply from them? I didn't. I'll try again but despite them being my first port of call for clothes and buying a lot of food I've found it easier than I expected to switch away.
