This is so funny, I got the same letter, word for word on my complaint about the
store here in NY. That was 1 month ago, have heard nothing since, sounds like
we're being
pacified, I just don't shop there any more. I   expected at the very least a
personal letter by snail mail
and maybe a call from the manager of this local store. Anna
