Dear Josh,
We are so sorry that you are so upset with the results of the RockBand Finals.
We thought the tournament was fun and competitive. We wanted you to know that your comments
were directed to corporate. Corporate did hear your message. Corporate’s protocol for comments
is to have the stores address their own issues and resolve them in the politest manner
possible, thus, your comments were directed back to our store.
We responded by apologizing for your feelings that the contest was unfair. We
never like our guests to feel that they were mistreated in any way. We would like to offer your
team another chance to re-compete for the top prize. Your team is invited back, next Thurs,
May 8th at 9:00 p.m. to compete against the winners score. We will award your team the $300
prize if you should out perform their numbers. The competition will be played in the Hard Mode, so
please prepare this week in the difficult level.
We like to play fair, so we look forward to your team’s competitive performance,
next Thursday, The 8th at 9:00 p.m. Good Luck to your team!

My reply:

I’m not going to bother with this, as the team that beat was most definitely the best team - and frankly, I don’t think we can beat them. However, it still doesn’t change the fact that things like this should be exclusive to customers. When people sign up to participate in things like this, we expect to be playing against other customers, and that the winners will be strictly customers - nobody employed by the company sponsoring or running the competition should be allowed to compete. Period.

Thanks, but no.

I’m over it.
