Campus store Nisa received more than 100 complaints over a grammar error on a sign, a source has told Vision.
Bungling Nisa bosses sparked a Twitter storm after their new student branch featured a rogue apostrophe on a sign above the cash registers.
Instead of reading “Thanks for shopping with us” the sign said “Thank’s for shopping with us”.
The blunder attracted more than 100 complaints from savvy shoppers, according to a source at the Market Square store.
But one of the shop’s competitors was also left a little red-faced after blasting the store in a Twitter post only to make the opposite mistake.
Students were quick to point out that Your Shop’s tweet, which said: “poor grammar on one of our competitors signs. #grammarpolice,” was actually missing an apostrophe.
Vision has attempted to contact the University’s Retail Operations Manager for a response, but has not
received one.
The campus shop makes a small grammatical error and 100 people complain about it. YUSU introduces new legislation to make itself less democratic, less accountable and less representative and no-one so much as blinks. I’m proud of you, York, I really am.
You’ll be pleased to know the member of staff responsible has since been fired for this blunder.
That would be because most people recognise student politics is too petty and unimportant to care about.
