HeHasRisen Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 This is clearly a publicity stunt by the shop themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna pretend that I wasn't about to post: "PLOT TWIST - Charity shop owner wrote this themselves for a bit of exposure" There does seem to be an undercurrent of 'negative attention' style advertising recently. Even big companies like Specsavers are using the tactic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could lose their Charity status for something like that as well, as all their funding. No decent charity (and this is a decent charity!) would ever do something like that. 2 Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the weekend they received a letter in the post: Here’s what they had to say about it: “Happy Saturday to us. It’s just a shame people don’t do their research properly. Thank you to the kind person that took the time to write this and send it 2nd class✨” Yep, someone took the time to write and post the letter. ☹️ Sod the haters. Hope the business survives.
