What follows is a letter I have written today, regarding a horrifying, real life experience that I, albeit unwillingly, submitted myself to. If any of you have a likewise tale to tell, please do so!
Please, do NOT take it lying down! Notify that firm in writing, the one who gave you less than you have paid for.
"Sir,
We had the displeasure of visiting your establishment in Stanley street, Auckland park, on 2008.06.07, at approximately 14:00. What followed was an experience which lends itself admirably to be an oscar winning script for a horror movie.
Being famished, we decided on hamburgers and chips. However, the only decent thing about our burgers were the patties. And, when I enquired re the greenery, they said I must look underneath the slice of tomato! Luckily my pocket looking glass was at hand, so I managed.
Equally so, the chips were a disgrace: I returned such, but the replacement was hardly an improvement: dry, over-fried, poor quality potatoes (similar to those of the great Irish blight), done in oil which should have been at the refinery, NOT inside a chip fryer!! Lucky for you people I have a tummy like a cement-mixer, otherwise I might well have succumbed.
Really, this is verily unacceptable, but more so: it cries to high heaven when a well established firm like Steers deem it appropriate to engage in daylight robbery! No, I do NOT want my money back! All I want is for you to cease with the temerity of causing me mental anguish. After that horrifying experience I am in dire need of proper councelling, and it seems to be fair that your firm should foot the bill.
I futhermore wish to make an appointment with a senior person, someone who can mentally comprehend that we have a serious problem here that needs to be addressed forthwith.
Pukingly your's,
Oscar."
