Ocado boycott after support of Primesight action

999 replies

PerverseConverse · 25/09/2018 21:59

On discovering today that Ocado are continuing to use Primesight after they removed Standing For Women's billboard, thereby showing they have no respect for women or our rights, I have emailed them to tell them that I will no longer shop with them as they support misogyny. I'm just wondering how many others have done the same and hoping this thread gets picked up by twitter and/or the press.

Live chat is very slow. They must be extra busy for some reason.

'Megan' said that she understood and would pass on my comments. She seemed fairly downbeat, as much as you can tell from these things.

Agh, so cross. It was so convenient and made life so much easier.

Hate that I've had to boycott but you can't hear about something like this and not act.

BesmirchingMotherhood · 26/09/2018 17:19

Is there a marketing/pr/customer service version of ‘all leave cancelled’?

I agree with PP - if they’ve not gotten a statement out in the whole of today, they’re not going to. Vote with your ladywallets, adult human females.

If I were Megan I would be looking for a new job
Wine for Megan sorry your bosses are idiots

I’ve just been on the phone to someone very sweet who really had no clue about all of this. Doesnt really seem to have penetrated the organisation.

I’ve been a customer for 15 years and will be really annoyed if I have to cancel - have asked for clarification from someone higher up.

Potatoandleeek · 26/09/2018 17:23

ive been using ocado more often as my schedule is getting busier and delivery seems more appealing.

I won’t now though! Just emailed them to say so, and asked for my account to be deleted. This adult female human has no interest in handing my money over to cowardly, virtue-signalling idiots.

NobodyToVoteForNow · 26/09/2018 17:23

Ah, they don't need my custom then. Or that of any other woman with two braincells to rub together. Consider them boycotted.

RangeRider · 26/09/2018 17:23

What sort of hate crimes? Reading a dictionary? Passing a dangerous billboard?

I'm properly gutted, I loved Ocado! But have just placed my first order directly with Waitrose who luckily deliver to my house. We spend £1000 a month on groceries.

FFS Ocado, you've ruined my day. Angry

Gacapa · 26/09/2018 17:30

Boycott from me too.

icannotthinkofauser · 26/09/2018 17:31

The human females twitter account has been suspended! sorry if this is old news

NanooCov · 26/09/2018 17:32

@icannotthinkofauser It's v old news. Still on FB though.

Biologifemini · 26/09/2018 17:34

Switch to Waitrose.com

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 26/09/2018 17:36

middledoggetsangry How stupid is that?! I thought it was my lack of mental prowess that was stopping me from finding the comments Hmm

charlestonchaplin · 26/09/2018 17:37

Some of you do spend an awful lot at Ocado. What do you buy? Diamond encrusted salmon en croute?

BabyItsAWildWorld · 26/09/2018 17:37

Is there an email address we can use?

I don't have an ocado account but I am a middle class women who does the grocery shopping and I have many similar women friends who will be interested to hear that adult female is regarded as hate speech by ocado.

Thought I might just let them know that.

Tanith · 26/09/2018 17:43

Some of us have a lot of people to cater for, Charleston
I’m a childminder and I do a lot of cooking.
Ocado were more reliable for quality and they were the only company shopping straight from their warehouse when they first started up, so better for food hygiene.

seafret · 26/09/2018 17:44

[email protected] is the general email

Not the CEO but company secretary/ corporate governance is

PenguindreamsofDraco · 26/09/2018 17:46

I've been waiting too for the statement to explain that actually this was a rogue intern going off message because the Ocado message is that woman = adult human female.

Then I tried calling and the phone was hung up 4 times.

I do not want to cancel - I love ocado, I wouldn't buy my diamond encrusted salmon anywhere else. But I can't let this pass or I will certainly be on the wrong side of history letting others risk a lot more than a convenient delivery slot.

LurkingWaspi · 26/09/2018 17:47

Husband just looking at the news updates on tv.
"Do you know anything about a billboard being taken down?"

It took him a while to get his head around Ocado's behaviour.
His verdict.
"Ocado are total gobshites"

StealthNinjaMum · 26/09/2018 17:49

I have emailed Tim Steiner at [email protected]

He hasn't replied. Must be too busy!

I have opened an account with Sainsbury's and so far I don't like it.

Whatnextfred · 26/09/2018 17:50

I'm trying an online Sainsbury's shop now and they haven't half what I want. But I am placing an order.... Ocado can fuck off

AgnesNaismith · 26/09/2018 17:52

I called again to see if they had an update....the guy had no idea what I was talking about. I said really? How long have you been on your shift? So he tapped away at his computer and said ah yes, do you want to speak to a manager?

Apparently they will be issuing a statement and it will be on social media platforms.

Whatnextfred · 26/09/2018 17:53

Did you speak to a manager? I'm desperately hoping they can redeem themselves for purely selfish reasons

AsAProfessionalFekko · 26/09/2018 17:54

Don't hold your breath.
