Here Alan, let me translate it into Sycamore-speak for you:
Mr. Bellows: I'm really sorry about what happened 12/20/03. Believe me, I feel bad...my boss ripped me a brand new asshole for Christmas. I decided to be a jackass and stick my nose into a situation without knowing what was up. It wound up going straight into the shitter and I made myself look like a real jackass. If you send me your address, I'll throw some free passes your way. It's hard enough doing business in the State of Utah, and the last thing I need is to be sitting in my trailer park collecting puny ass unemployment checks because I got a case of the stupids for one night. Please come back...dear God, if you don't come back, I am so fucked. Sincerely, Troy Taylor General Manager |

On the one hand, I have to agree with you, HP. They haven't demonstrated that they understand in the least why you were angry.
On the other hand, how far do you want to take this. If you go back to Ms. Phillips and still don't get the apology you deserve, are you going to stop patronage? At this point, maybe you'd do better to call the regional office and ask for Ms. Phillips? At least you'd know whether you're being blown off. |

Yeah, take the tickets. You're not going to make the guy have a "holy shit, I'm an asshole!" epiphany.

yeah. collossal ass. whatever. Do you think he cares if you come back? I'd BET he'd prefer you didn't. Who's losing out here? You say you like the theatre. Yet, you challenge the first two people that reccomend forgiveness. You're still mad. Try letting the other party that accompanies you choose the location. Don't take the tickets, though. And be sure to walk up to troy and greet him. THEN you'll get your apology. Albeit lame and noncommital.

he is probably completely humiliated, and is trying to save himself from a lifetime of viagra. his boss knows, someone else knows, he has to apologize like a child...good. he'll remember this wash of embarassment later. take the passes...get some for the rest of us, too. maybe in your return you could mention...creatively...that he didn't really take responsibility, but you know that's hard for a swaggering dick like him. that way you get the apology, the movie passes..and the last shot.

Tell me what you think of this, I was thinking I'd email it to Troy, and CC the regional manager:

By the way... Very nice translation, Syc. Hilarious.

i'm not trying to belittle your reaction, alan. I'm just saying that it shouldn't matter to you that much. meaning that if you carry your anger about this, your load is heavier. I think you did the right thing in arguing with troy instead of being intimidated, and I also think it was wise to alert his superiors, but beyond that, you're just spinning your wheels. let it go...deep breaths......in....out.....in...out.

Take the passes or not, one line max. I think no comment is the best tact. Another letter and Troy has fuel to show Mr. Kim that youre a "hot pastrami" and argumentative. unpleasable.
"See I tried to be nice and that guy is just nuts." No matter the circumstances, it'd look like that. Dont give Troy the out. Go high road. Why is your integrity a hot button? I'm not being smart aleky, I have my buttons too and its interesting to look at the emotions behind them. Its good, I think, to be reminded that you know your value. Its not an emergency. What others say or think is really, truly, nothing to you. |
