A Sainbsury’s shopper has been left fuming after seeing one of their Christmas cards.
Anthony MacDonald says he is considering boycotting the supermarket giant after reading a festive card which said: “How is it f****ng Xmas again already?”. The rude festive cards also included a scantily clad Santa.
Other cards included phrases like 't*t's Christmas'. Mr MacDonald saw them at his local branch in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. And he was so enraged by the cards, he asked to speak to the manager.

Despite his kick-off, and being told the store would “look into” the issue, he claims the cards remain on the shelves. Mr MacDonald expressed his shock and disappointment over the decision to keep the inappropriate festive cards out.
He said: "I have always shopped at Sainsbury's for over 50 years and I liked them because they had a reputation for integrity and standards. But when I came across these cards, I could not believe that they would use the F word on a card that was displayed to the public.
“The cards weren’t even displayed on the top shelf or anything, they’re literally at a child’s eye level, and children’s toys are in the next aisle. My grandchild could have read that. A five-year-old being exposed to this sort of literature is simply not acceptable."

Mr MacDonald said he was so appalled that he asked to speak to the manager who told him the team would look into the issue. But he said when he went back the next week, the cards were still on display.
“I may consider not going into Sainsbury’s anymore because I’m just so upset and appalled by it,” said Mr MacDonald. “I know that you hear teenagers F-ing and blinding in the streets these days.

''But to have inappropriate language officially displayed in a shop is just so wrong on so many fronts.''
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said, “A couple of festive cards with adult humour were displayed in the wrong place at our Trowbridge Store. We appreciate this being brought to our attention and they have been displayed in a more appropriate way.”
