Sainsbury’s makes embarrassing spelling mistake on label for school trousers… so can YOU spot it?
It may be our kids who are heading back to school, but it seems that someone working at Sainsbury's may also need a revision session
SEPTEMBER is almost upon us - which means parents across the country are snapping up new school kit for their kids.
With the new school term fast approaching, buying new uniform is top of many to-do lists and thankfully even supermarkets are selling essential items.
And it may be our kids who are heading back to class, but it seems that someone working at Sainsbury's may also need a revision session.
One parent shared a snap of three pairs of girls school trousers bought from the store - but all of them feature the same spelling mistake.
While we can only assume it's an honest typo, how no one at the huge retailer spotted it pre-production remains a mystery...
Did you spot the error?
The spelling mistake (on the word "straight", if you missed it) was picked up by an eagle-eyed father-of-two in Essex.
The customer, who noticed the error at the superstore in Springfield, Chelmsford, told : "I was shocked to find that such a major high street retailer couldn't spell such a simple word.
"What example does this show to our kids? They've stitched themselves up."
Thankfully, Sainsbury's has seen the funny side of the situation.
In response to the error, a spokesperson said: "We’re aware of this spelling error, which has now been corrected.
"Those responsible have been sent back to school.”
