@AmazonHelp I've found a racist item on your website. Why is it so hard to contact you to tell you about it? How can I flag this unpleasant content?

@violetbfox Yeah, I look forward to hearing managers get excited by it as though the problem we need to solve is too much human time spent on our records 🙄 and not that we've basically abdicated responsibility for our catalogue to vendors 🤦‍♀️

@meaohara Did you get sorted? Because I have a spare that I can give you on Tuesday if you're on site and let me know before 0900 Tuesday

How many books should I take on holiday with me? (For @GuardianBooks ).

[Victoria Parkinson @VLParkinson]

@Tesco You need to make it clear when you make a change like AI following you around the shop.. The shop on High Holborn does it now, with zero warning or chance to opt out. If I'd realised I would t have used your shop --perhaps that's the point of not warming people.

[Victoria Parkinson @VLParkinson]

@marksandspencer I already gave back my empties so don't bother on my account, I wouldn't risk using an M&S refill service again.

[Victoria Parkinson @VLParkinson]

@marksandspencer I'm not sure it says great things about your commitment to sustainability that you've removed the refill washing up liquid and other products from your Stratford Westfield shop. Back to plastic for me then, I guess.

[Victoria Parkinson @VLParkinson]

@hannahfearn @CamillaWest @sharonodea I see where you're coming from but if there's something I love that everyone else doesn't, there's no way I'm sharing it in an icebreaker so it can be judged. This way round is much funnier and less stressful.

@westfieldstrat Hi, 16:58 on Sunday 12th May. What song is playing on your speakers, please?

[Victoria Parkinson @VLParkinson]

@preater They're about to make a comeback, and soon this is how we'll be sharing our holiday pics at friends? 😁

@thatguymark @clhubes I always buy presents for the bigger sibling(s) too, remembering that when my sister was born, I received the same from several relatives and friends of my parents. Including a necklace I then wore to my little sister's wedding many years later.

@mobeenakhan Felt like I was seeing "I like reading" on a job application.

starting a cleaning service for people with ADHD. I won’t be doing any of the actual cleaning, I’ll just be calling you at random times to tell you I’m on my way to your house and I’ll be there in about 45 minutes
