Let’s face it, I’m a big complainer. I guess I could say, I really expect the best. For myself, for those around me. Also, from myself, and from those around me. I’m not EVEN going to get into the entitlement complex I’ve been accused of having from certain former boyfriend’s who shall remain nameless. But, I really expect the best from things I purchase, or stores I frequent, etc.

So, today, as I dined on my Lean Cuisine Beef Portobello entree, I was shocked to find that there were only 3 pieces of beef! 3 pieces! There’s usually way more, trust me, this is, afterall, my second favorite ‘flavor’ of Lean Cuisine. So, I tell my coworker that I am annoyed and that I’m going to write Mr. Lean Cuisine a letter.

She responds, “Rhiannon, are you 80?” So, I guess old people write letters? But, young ones don’t? I definitely do.

But, let me tell you, writing letters GETS you things. So, Taco Bell still hasn’t brought back the Country Breakfast Burrito (I ate TWO of these every morning before my senior year of high school) and Yoplait hasn’t brought back the Breakfast Yoplait. But, do you know what happens?

- Origins sends me samples to make up for the rude saleslady who suggested that I go on ProActiv
- Papa Johns sends 3 free pizza coupons to make up for the delivery boy who claimed he knocked on our door and we weren’t home
- Carl’s Jr. sends free burger coupons to make up for the ass-tasting chicken sandwich (I gave these away, I really no longer eat here)
-Alaska Airlines sends mileage vouchers to make up for the lack of food in First Class.

And, trust me, the list goes on. So, is it weird that I do this? Is it petty?

I just think that there are people at these companies that care that I’m (okay maybe not specifically me) are having less than delightful experiences with their products or stores.

Today’s Shoe:

Wearing socks was a bad move in these – I’ve almost slipped eleventy million times. Retiring them for the duration of sock season.
