Dear local merchants:
Dear Large Used-Book Store:
You are a fine and well-stocked emporium. However, after I have wasted twenty minutes first checking the place where the genre I was looking for used to be, and then examining the whimsical yet utterly unreadable floor plan posted in several locations around the first floor, trying to figure out where you'd moved these books to... It was a little frustrating to ask for assistance and be blithely told, "Oh, those books are now in our other location!"
Really?
I asked about the floor plan, which looked new and freshly printed. "Oh, that's way out of date!" was the blithe response.
Really? I don't suppose you'd considering taking it down, then, would you?
Slightly less love than I had for you this morning,
Me.

Dear Art-Supply Store:
I have spent the past several months trying to find a convenient Canadian location to purchase Semikolon linen-covered journals. I even tried to figure out if they were available online anywhere, and could only find one or two places offering one or two colours.
And today at lunchtime I go into your store for a pen, and as I walk to the cash register I notice an entire bookshelf full of the very size I wanted, in an array of attractive colours?
And they are on sale???
More love than I can adequately express right now,
Me.
