Dear office supply salesman:

Your firm will not be our new vendor for office supplies.

1) When your office made the sales call appointment, she neglected to give me your name or a phone number/email where you could be reached if I had needed to reschedule.
2) Your sales call gift was pretzels that are past their date. (I put them in the kitchenette for the vultures anyway.)
3) You referred to your own customer service department as "four nice girls with over fifty years' experience between them."
4) Various other less subjective reasons having to do with an absence of storefronts for emergency purchases, shipping overnight out of state, etc. We'll be sticking with the large interstate conglomerate with presences near both our facilities, thanks.

Neener neener.

Yup. Sigh.

Did you tell him that you thought Dunder-Mifflin was a fake company developed for a television sitcom, and you were impressed that he was representing them so well in person?

Did you send this to the sales rep so he can clean up his act in the future?

What was he thinking? I mean, you'd think it'd be pretty easy to choose between giving the client (a) no gift and (b) food poisoning. :-)

A nifty pen with their logo would have been far preferable. I won't get food poisoning from the pretzels, but they had lost some of theri snap.
