Truly Sorry Follow Up

Not only did we snap some shots,
we were asshole enough ("Surprise, surprise!") to complain to corporate HQ.
I can't believe you remodeled the entire store, yet were unwilling to spring for a new flag. The condition of that flag (faded & frayed) is contrary to the U.S. flag code.
And the corporate entity responded:
Dear Value Shopper:

Hunt it down and see if its pelt is worth anything on ebay?

They didn't try to pass it off as a 9/11 flag?

Value Shopping Editor:

Believe it or shove it, the thought that it was a special deal flag entered our mind, but there's no plaque or anything indicating as much. Beside all this, they leave it up past sunset w/o illumination, another Flag Code violation. Maybe we can get them on that as well if/when/after they shell out for a new one.

Kiwi has a good eye/ear for biz-poetry.

Thunder, meanwhile, is getting bloodthirsty. Not enough protein in that unemployment diet?

I once wrote to them during their big renovation about a year ago to complain that they kept the store open while they were polishing and sanding the floors. Five minutes in checkout, and I thought I'd choke to death. But my real complaint was that they hadn't provided any masks or such to their employees. I got the same drone reply. And no other followup.
