tenaciousg who has written a few letters to a few companies that have left a bitter taste in his mouth. I can't even get a damn taste in my mouth, because safeway didn't have the damn vanilla coke they advertised on sale. I went there once, and then again a few days later...NOTHING.
So I wrote them a little letter.
Dear kind sirs,
I came to the store one day to purchase some vanilla coke, and everywhere I looked they were out. I figured since it was eleven o'clock at night, that would happen, I over-looked it. I came back three days later and there was still none to be found. I find it a bit of a bother to advertise something on sale, if you aren't going to carry it. I am well aware of its recent popularity, but I would hope a store like yours would do its best to keep such a thing in stock. I had to go else where to find it. I wouldn't want to do that normally. But you left me with no choice.
so I kissed up a little...
*waits for the coupons*

I wasn't asking for too much, and if they are going to be a 24-hour store, they need to maintain a certain level of quality all of the time. Otherwise, close if you can't keep it up.
