Babe, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I know it's not important in the grand scheme of things, but seriously...

Not offended, but I'd question whether the shop's brand identity and I were a match.

SecretWitch · 12/04/2019 16:27

No offense at all. Delete and move on.

I do hope you get a negative result, op. I can understand how you must be feeling very fragile right now. X

Not offended but just makes me think I’m definitely not their target market and wont bother looking there!

AhhhHereItGoes · 12/04/2019 16:34

I'd think it was funny tbh.
Certainly no offence.
If it was a specific worker in a live chat then I might see why you'd not like it but it's pretty generic really.

Also hope you have a positive outcome on your results (a test you should fail).

They were likely trying to sound trendy/catering to young people. 🌷

It's a bit over-chummy, but surely it's much better than 'Oy, minger' Grin'

For a generic message, if you have any greeting, what else would you use? Madam seems quite quaintly old-fashioned even for middle-aged women nowadays, so I can't imagine that teenage girls/very young women would really relate to it.

Personally, I would have just gone with "We're sorry....", but then I don't work in marketing or branding.

Cringe worthy........not worth energy to get offended over. Ignore it at best.

I got part way through ordering some shoes before having a word with myself about the impractical size of the heel and abandoning the idea. I had an email yesterday calling me "Love" and offering me a 20% off coupon. Today it's gone up to 30% and I've become "honey". Maybe if I leave it long enough I'll get the shoes free and and be married to them.
