A fish and chip shop has hit back at a customer who left a review about a 'hot delivery girl', saying they will only send male drivers to him from now on.
Robinson's Traditional Fish & Chips in Wiltshire received a five-star review from a customer called Dan that read: 'Really hot food always great from Robinsons also hot delivery girl.'
The chippy then snapped back: 'Thanks for the kind review of the food, we will make sure a male delivers your food from now on.'
What a po-faced, virtue-signalling little creep! And I'm not the only one who thinks so:
Owner Philip Robinson has since doubled down on the response, saying that although the review 'seemed harmless', they 'have to set boundaries with incidents like this' to protect their staff.
From what, compliments?
He said that he has a partner and sister and 'would want their employers to act the same' if faced with a similar situation.
Would he ask his partner and sister their opinion on it? Or just assume?
Fiona Oliver, joint chief executive of the Wiltshire Community Foundation, a local charity, said: 'We applaud the response from Robinson's for standing up for their employee.
She added: 'Harassment, stereotyping, and discrimination targeted towards women and girls happens far too often and is frequently referred to as harmless banter.
'The impact of such behaviour can really affect victims.'
You know who hasn't been asked their opinion? The hot delivery girl. Who may not feel like a victim of anything.
That pill*ck shop owner should've kept quiet in the best interests of his employee. Trolls will be desperate now to discover her identity and claim their reward from the tabloids.
ReplyDeleteAnd why is the original story even considered newsworthy? Must not be anything of importance happening anywhere in the world.
Who cares about her. We have some virtue signalling to do.
ReplyDeleteYou may not be aware that as of 26th October 2024, it is illegal for 3rd parties (i.e. customers) to 'sexually harass' in any shape or form, and employee (male or female), or the employer can be held responsible. https://www.acas.org.uk/sexual-harassment
