An ASB Bank staffer has been left red faced after inadvertently propositioning one of its customers on social media.
Auckland legal services worker Grace Hall sent a tweet to ASB in January saying, "you have some of the loveliest staff ever".
However, in the exchange of friendly tweets that followed, the bank asked "Netflix and chill 4eva? Or are we moving to fast ?"
"Netflix and chill" is widely understood to mean watching TV while having sex, but an ASB spokesman told Fairfax the social media staffer operating the Twitter account didn't realise the phrase had a sexual double-meaning.
The bank later deleted its tweets, but not before they had been screen-grabbed and reposted by a Twitter account that collects examples of corporate social-media embarrassments.
