Some of Beyonc's most loyal fans are taking punches at a British grocery-store chain after it acknowledged the similarity between its own store uniforms and her new Ivy Park collection.

UK-grocery chain Sainsbury's posted an image of its workers' signature orange-and-maroon uniform on Twitter on Tuesday with the caption "Repping since 1869," along with a winking face emoji. The tweet was posted a day before Beyonc's new collection launched online but several weeks after the internet mocked one of her outfits from the new collection after it was unveiled in an interview with Elle.

Now fans are slamming Sainsbury's for jumping in on the jokes by sharing screenshots of bad reviews of the store and images of its share price:
