High street giant Argos has introduced a UK-wide ban on a common phrase it uses after customers raised concerns over sexism.
The term “two-man delivery” has been dropped by the catalogue retail giant and instead replaced with “people”. The move comes after a flurry of complaints were directed towards Argos on social media from consumers.
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 It’s a very outdated and insensitive phrase.”
