Jetstar cops flak for offering AU$50 to customer after being 'slut-shamed'

Jetstar has been called out by a passenger on Facebook for having an air stewardess so call "slut-shame" her, only to have the airlines' customer service team make the matter worse! The Facebook post which attracted 239 reactions, 62 comments, and 38 shares since 11 February said that the flight attendant had commented on the passenger's attire and asked her, "Do you see any men walking around with their shirts off?"The attendant later added that she will give her a blanket if she does not have a T-shirt to put on. The comments made by the attendant saw the passenger being offered a jacket by someone else on board and she said the attention garnered on board the plane left her feeling "embarrassed and shocked."Following her complaint to Jetstar, the airline apparently offered a AU$50 travel voucher, in hopes that they can restore her faith in them. The Jetstar's customer care team representative also said, "Sometimes disruptions to our service might put them under additional pressure and they mightn't have the time to provide the level of service we would like. Still, you have every right to expect polite, friendly and professional service, whenever you fly with us and I apologise if this was not your experience."The passenger responded to this saying she was "disgusted" by the compensation. Many netizens also took her side, stating that the amount on the voucher does not make up for such an ordeal and called the compensation "insulting". Others were baffled at the flight attendant's outburst as there seems to be nothing indecent about the passenger's outfit.In a statement to Marketing, a spokesperson from Jetstar said, "We’ve called the passenger to better understand the situation and apologised if she felt that she was treated unfairly by our staff."When probed further about the online reactions, a Jetstar spokesperson said, "We are investigating what happened to find out if the situation could have been handled differently and have passed her feedback to our teams. We’re sorry that this interaction spoiled her journey and have provided a travel voucher as gesture of goodwill."
