Say What?

My daughter works in the marketing department for Danny & Clyde’s – a chain of convenience stores/delicatessens in New Orleans.

She shared the complaint against one of their stores with me as you will see below (just as it was received). It seems to be making the corporate rounds with them.

Wonder why?

Pretty sad I would say…

However, as I always like to remember, were it not so, I could be unemployed.

too funny. completely impossible to follow. do they want a refund on seafood they haven’t bought? possibly. loved the add on “black women and a elderly women” like they feel the need to suuport their “eccentric” hiring methods. lol. maybe their english is just bad? someone eneds to tell them how to use a full stop.

Public education.

Where do you even begin to respond to that? Sometimes, a customer is a great thing to lose *g* “Princess” eh? We have a princess in this household, although she frequently goes by the name of “Sugarplum” 😉

Misguided Angel

OMG, that makes my head hurt! It really is sad!

i didn’t think people like that would even know how to turn on a computer.

In LA? Really? You must have made this up.

BonnieRose

I betcha SOMEbody made this up. I mean, how would this person actually be able to find an email address and operate the keyboard?

Can you say functionally illiterate?

LMAO thats too funny!! reminds me of how people wrote out checks when I worked at JC Penneys.. I got a check made out to “peny” one time. Funny thing is, with this letter, as I read it I could hear him saying it, just like that.

guess who flunked english and was pushed along in school anyway..

Well, obviously, this is a Mayo issue and adds more fuel to the fire for the Miracle Whip crowd. I hate that it had to go public, and in such a way as this, but enough said. There is no easy solution.

swpdxgirl

I can’t begin to tell you how painful that was for me.

jmelyn

I LOVE IT! I think this wins for BEST. COMPLAINT LETTER. EVER.

ryn: i think i’d have to promote the “finance [mz. azul]’s travels around the world fund” before i promote your “do whatever phaedrus wants” foundation. 😛

Oh fer cryin’ out loud! Just in case no one said it yet: if that’s any indication of how “this william fradella” actually ordered his food…well…you get the idea.

OUCH! Surprised he knew how to turn on the computer and use it!

Too fast on the clicker finger up there ^. So will you share Phadrus’s Princess’s response? Or did she even bother? Poor william fradella probably couldn’t read it anyway. Or understand it either. ryn: yeah, yeah I will.

A brazillion $$$ gift card to Danny & Clyde’s to William if he can diagram that long-ass run on sentence. Sad. I must now go take an aspirin.

RYN: For it’s time, this was pretty steamy stuff. Wonder if it still would hold up by today’s standards. Must rent.

Zabasearch.com. He’s a real person. Amazing. Even I wouldn’t be seen in public like this.

English unlikely their first language. Intelligence unlikely their strong skill. Maybe they are good-looking ?

July 19, 2006

Those are my nose, lips, and chin you doofus! ;o)

RYN: Oh geez, there’s always one in every bunch. Uh, I don’t know why I stayed married so dang long. Maybe it’s the best he could do!!! Or all that sex. Not sure…

tagged!

Yo, tag, mutherfucka.

RYN: Hurry back, it’s up to 23!

ryn: i’m surprised you’re the only one who caught that. 😛

RYN: Awww, shucks, I thought it was magic!

RYN: I think he has more than I do. He has FABULOUS legs, let me tell you.

ryn on Kate’s – Thanks. You made this steely-eyed dealer of death cry. But that’s not really that hard lately, so don’t do a jig or anything.

RYN: Haaaahaaaa

ryn: BOC (but of course) we can still be friends. (You make me smile.)

Enthusiast

You really shouldn’t publish the poor man’s address (or woman’s) for all to see. The email itself is embarassing enough. Now someone’s going to egg their house.
