Is this OK TK Maxx?

[Supersimkin2]

Not sure this is the best way to boost the TK Group’s huge profits. AIBU?

More likely just a case of bad timing as TKs design order and make their stuff months in advance for Halloween. I’ve seen skulls with crowns before so it’s doubtful HM death prompted this plate.

I want a full set!

I agree this won’t have been designed because of the queens death but they should know that’s it’s inappropriate to keep it out after she has just died.

They've had those in stock all year.

My DS bought some of the cups for university.

Why?

They should have pulled the stock though.

Its not appropriate right now.

Oh dear!

I'm surprised 20% think it's not acceptable.

And chucked it in landfill?

When would it be ok to resell it?

There is nothing new about these prints.

Had your son stopped using his cups?

Skull with crown prints have been around for years! I'm sure TKmaxx won't be the only one selling items with this prints?

Just out of curiosity op (or people agreeing its not acceptable) how long after the queens death do you think it would be acceptable to buy these prints again? And do you people have to put their items with these prints away for now?

In other words don't be daft!

Isn't that the King's official cereal bowl?

They’ve had that design on sale for YEARS. I have one from 4/5 years ago

You boss has it in his bathroom?!

What even is it? The skull looks odd.

I doubt it will make much of a difference to their profits either way.

Haha
i think it’s funny

You don’t have to buy it and she was a 96 year old, it’s not like she was young and died in tragic circumstances.

I bet they will sell out

I think it might be very popular at the moment, some people like macabre.

This is part of the Halloween tableware. Variations of this design have been sold there for years. It is nothing to do with the Queen. Their Halloween stuff is out from July in TK Maxx so this would have been out for months already.

Is it ‘bone China’? 😂

Obviously. I'm not sure whether it's better PR to pull the line when you realise though or leave it for viral posts such as these with an apology after...

Absolutely. No way could this be designed, manufactured and in TK Maxx in 6 weeks.

It's not my taste but better that people who do like that style can buy what exists already rather than sending it to landfill to protect the delicate sensibiities of some who were never going to buy it anyway.

It's a free choice to buy it or not.

I laughed!
Somebody designed them long before the queen died and now can't sell them, so off the TKMAXX they go.

@GloriousGlory

Definitely not chuck it.

Rotate it with other stock for a couple of months maybe? Hardly a massive deal.

Don't get snarky with me, I'm ambivalent about it 😎

TK Maxx don’t make stuff - they buy up brands and other retailers aged stock

In this case "offensive" is a matter of personal opinion. I couldn't give a damn, neither could loads of others here. That isn't offensive - it's "I don't like it". If shops stocked stuff based solely on every shopper loving it they would have no stock on the shelves.
