Yes, you heard us correctly.
An IT contractor living in Ireland ended up in trouble with an Amazon customer service rep after giving his experience with the site some negative feedback.
Clearly, someone at Amazon took the criticism very personally – because the next time this guy opened up his amazon.de page in work, there was a conspicuous sex toy in his shopping basket. To be more precise, “The Hulk 10.25-inch Huge Dong Black”.
Amazon apologised to the man for the embarrassment it caused him. He is quoted as saying: “I was at the office, in an open space, with people behind me. A guy and two girls were sitting by me when I opened up Amazon and they saw the contents of my shopping basket.”
The victim was also given a €100 gesture of apology, and hints that the employee who had put the big old dildo in his shopping basket had been removed from their role.
The lesson is to be careful when writing your feedback forms, because if you don’t, God knows what dildo-based fate that the universe has in store for you.
