Facebook user Jay Whalley, from Preston, laid down the law to the retailer in a reworked version of the rapper's hit 'Stan' which he had tailored to call out a potential shady mistake from the company.

Whalley's initial concern was that "I sent you my exchange but still it ain't returning".

The company wasted no time in having staffer Rianna respond in due course.

The exchange was covered by mainstream media outlets during the weekend, granting the company some exposure for its quick-witted rap talents.

On why he initiated the stunt, Whalley said: “Thought I’d be creative instead of kicking off.”
