Here’s what Victoria’s Secret wrote back to my complaint about rude service. Clearly they hadn’t read my post and they just wanted to send a form letter. They didn’t even have a letter signed by someone with a last name. Visit “not a pleasant one?” Gimme a break.

This note arrived Sunday evening so clearly it came from a bored call center rep who was told to press a button to generate Form Letter B. Well, there’s lots of competition out there:
