It was a case of sticks and stones for Superdrug customer Harriet Rae when she overheard two cashiers at the Truro outlet nastily laughing about her outfit this week.

She took to Facebook to post a compassionate comeback to the body-shaming, which has now been shared by more than 47,000 people.

“Don’t worry, I heard the comments you made to each other about my appearance and my shorts,” she said, addressing the post to “the two girls working in Truro Superdrug this afternoon”.

“You spoke loud enough for most people to hear,” she continued.

"It’s obviously not the first time you’ve had a giggle and a made comments about another girl but when you do it normally, the person you talk about probably looks away and you actually make them feel really sad inside.

“But today, by the looks on your faces you really weren’t prepared for the massive cheesy smile I gave you!

“Just so you know, your words didn’t hurt me. The looks you gave me did not either.

“I do feel slightly saddened that you think it’s ok to speak about another female, or in fact anyone, in that way. I don’t believe you gained anything from it apart from looking a little bit silly when you realised I heard you.”

She attached a photo of the aforementioned cheesy smile and the shorts in question, alongside some compliments for the two girls in order to “send back some love”.

Superdrug Head Office spoke to Harriet Rae to apologise for its staff members’ behaviour, and told her that the Facebook post will be used in staff training to ensure the same thing doesn’t happen to anyone else.

As for the two women in question; Harriet Rae refused to describe them in order to keep their jobs safe.

Meanwhile, spokesperson for Superdrug said: "Following the post on Facebook we launched an immediate investigation.

"At Superdrug we pride ourselves on the highest levels of customer service and would like to apologise unreservedly if on this occasion we have failed to meet our high standards.

"We have apologised to the customer.”
