High street giant Argos have introduced a UK-wide ban on one of its most commonly used phrases after customers complained about its sexist implications.
The term “two-man delivery” has been put to an end by the catalogue retail giant and the term “people” is now being used instead. The change came after a thread of complaints were made towards Argos on social media from consumers, reports Birmingham Live .
One said: “I noticed in one of your stores your ad was sexist – 2 man delivery. Hopefully moving forward you’ll change this to 2 person delivery.” Another said: “Can you explain why you put up a ‘2 Man Delivery’ sign in your brand new Lewisham shop? Do you only hire men to deliver heavy goods? It’s a very outdated and insensitive phrase.”
