In a friendly tweet exchange, a Sainsbury's representative promised to follow up:

Grocery

The grocer emailed an explanation to Business Insider:

"We often use posters to make store targets fun and achievable for our colleagues. They are intended for colleague areas in the store, but this one was mistakenly put on public display."

Discussion Starters:

  • The tweet is quite conversational, including "yeah." Is this appropriate? 
  • Assess Sainsbury's explanation. Is it sufficient?
  • What's your view of the campaign for employees?
