A message that many could have done without. On the occasion of Mother’s Day this Sunday, May 26, the company delivers food to your home Deliveroosent a tasteless SMS to his customers.
“Disappointing and horrible”
To remind them to wish their mom a happy birthday. Laudable intention on paper, but very clumsy. Many customers have received the notification “missed call from mom”. Which might be commendable or funny to some, but may be inappropriate for people who have lost their mothers.
Thus, on X, many internet users have denounced this notification. One writes: “ A big thought to all those who, like me, had a sinking heart seeing this notification because they no longer have the possibility of receiving missed calls from their mother ».
Thank you @Deliveroo_FR for the clumsiness👎! A big thought to all those who, like me, had a sinking heart when they saw this notification because they no longer have the possibility of receiving their mother’s missed calls 🕊🕯 pic.twitter.com/3iCKchvhaQ
