Ocado Apologies to Mumsnet

[CrocsNotDocs]

Guess the dicks have figured out which biological sex that makes most household shopping decisions.

I seem to remember that those of us who departed Ocado over billboard gate, asked for our lifetime spend with them. For quite a few of us, it was north of £20,000. It may be worth those leaving now to do the same.

Yep - still sounds like the "dog ate my homework" to me
And anyway that was presumably a tweet from a contractor on X to Julie Blindel. So until one of the Board make a formal comment, we should reserve judgment.
Not convinced so far

Edited to add - am I old fashioned in expecting that an apology would come directly to me from someone, and not to a third party on X?

Did you see Justine’s message on the Thanks Mumsnet thread?

Worth a read. Especially from the only known victim of swatting in the UK.

what does this mean, divorce fiasco, who are they divorced from?

Yes. Where was the apology for the things I mentioned above?

You are right. I have just checked the website of Ocado Group. Nothing relevant in the news section and a search of the site using the word Mumsnet comes up with nothing. They are treating the issue as a minor irritation to be swatted away.

I don't think many of us realised exactly what Justine was up against.

We should be grateful that she stood by her convictions despite everything.

Where in my enquiry did I say that they existed?

I was looking to understand your general grounds.

The various news reports have, I think, just lifted their content on this from Justine’s post and the ‘apology’ on Twitter which has been picked up and discussed on MN.

We moved from Lloyds to Nationwide this year after many years.
As we had a current account with 2 direct debits, we were entitled to £100 transfer -
make sure you open a savings account so that you will be entitled to any pay out,
as just this month we had a £50 bonus. They also supply cheque books, its civilised, efficient, excellent telephone banking and customer services.

Listening to the radio 2 news at 3pm earlier and the third story was about mumnset and Ocado!

When I messaged ocado I got exactly the same text, so it's obviously the official line that they are copying and pasting to all customers:

"These comments are not representative of us as a company, and we believe they were made by a temporary contractor who is no longer with the business. We apologise unreservedly to Mumsnet."

Waiting for a response to my follow-up email.

I just can’t believe they didn’t learn lessons from the 2018 billboard debacle! Memories are short (not mine 🐘)

Two companies are named by Justine. One apologises unreservedly and the other refuses to comment.

I don't get why everyone seems determined to attack and boycott the one that apologised, and the other is barely mentioned.

@Rachelsthorns speaking for myself, I have had weekly deliveries from Ocado since they started but have never banked with or had any connection to Barclays .

And as many have pointed out, Ocado’s explanation is quite obviously bullshit.
