Complaint: Badvocado
Posted
Written when I was unemployed…

“Oh not him again”.
Yes I know, you thought that you wouldn’t hear from me again now I’m unemployed (technically on gardening leave which means I do things like sorting out kitchen cupboards looking for out of date tins of pineapple), as I am now just a yellow sticker boy with an occasional foray into Iceland. I shall still probably buy carrots from you.
But on my last weekly shop with you until I am redeemed from this life of loneliness (I have lots of friends, honest), I have disappointment to proffer.
Recently I have been wondering what it would be like to be a lesbian. So for this week’s food shopping, I decided against buying chicken for my salad and went full vegetarian (lunchtime vegetarian anyway). Avocado was going to be my meat substitute.
Imagine my disappointment when I cut open one of my two avocados to find it was a badvocado. Brown with a hint of green. Yuckity yuck.
You can send me a voucher for the avocado if you wish but unfortunately it may be a while before I can use it online. Hopefully someone will see the web developer talent in me before they see the complaint writing talent.
All the best.

Dear James
Thanks for blessing us with your presence.
I am sorry that your avocados have arrived in this condition and I hope that this has not made you give up on this newfound passion of yours.
I know how a badvocado can ruin a salad all too well, and I am thus passing this issue to our Kenton branch so they can work on improving the fresh produce sent out to you, so that your carrot purchases can continue.
I am issuing an evoucher, for £4 to cover the avocado plus a little extra as a gesture of goodwill. The voucher code is A4MG-6KQX-Q74V, and will be valid for 2 years, but I hope we see you well before then.
We appreciate the time you’ve taken to contact Sainsbury’s and hope the gardening leave does not go on too long.
Kind regards,
Duncan Graham | Sainsbury’s Online
