    One going round on twitter this week where someone ordered cream crackers, and got Christmas crackers in its place :D

    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    I work in the home shopping department and the best ones I have heard of have been : customer ordered tiger beer and they subbed for tiger cat food and another customer ordered suppositories and it was subbed for worming tablets :o

    I always ask for no substitutions now after some of the crazy ones I've got. Two of the most memorable were dog food instead of cat food; where I had to spend 10 minutes explaining to the driver why I didn't want it and why it wouldn't 'just do' and one where I got send a twix bar instead of tampax!
    No you didn't. That story has been posted on MSE since (at least) 2009 and you hadn't joined then.

    If you're going to steal other peoples' stories, don't claim them as your own.

    Who cares who said it, but fair enough for bothering, and having the time to check. Still funny subs though:)

    Hi

    It may well be a crib but none the less it was well worth retelling in my opinion, and it seems to have given a chuckle to those of us who had not seen the original.

    Maybe they've dropped that username/login and have a newer one?

    A friend, who is veggie, was sent meat sausages in place of veggie ones... the lack of meat on the order didn't give any clues....

    lol

    Well that could actually be quite helpful if it happened at this time of year. :D

    Might be a shock but who says that it didn't happen to more than one person.
