An Open Letter to Florence, South Carolina

November 26, 2007 | I Love Beer, Open Letters

Dear Florence, SC,

In my recent travels I happened briefly upon your fair city and I am left with a few questions for you:soth_caolina_Florence_map_SC

No alcohol on Sundays? At all?

Not even beer?

How do you people watch football?

Your prompt response would be most appreciated.

Love,

Sarah

Customer Service is Dead in the Airline Industry

October 22, 2007 | My Soapbox, Open Letters

I posted this a while back on DC Metro Moms Blog but since I am still mad at Spirit Airlines I thought I would publish it here too.

I mean, it is either this, or I can tell you the story about how Ian barfed in my hand (again) yesterday.

Dear Spirit Airlines,

I don’t even know enough bad words to properly express how I feel about your customer service.* Honestly. Why even bother having a customer service phone number if you are unable to even deal with something as simple as seat assignments?

Also, what kind of airline makes someone pay extra money for checking one bag?

I have just added you to a growing list of airlines that have pissed me off this year. You are right behind U.S. Air and American Airlines when it comes to terrible customer service and airlines I will go out of my way not to fly.

Is customer service dead in the airline industry? If I can’t pre-board with my children, and I can’t sit with them and there are rules against unaccompanied minors, then who is going to care for them? Is babysitting included in the $264 I paid for each of their tickets? I mean if checking ONE MEASLY BAG isn’t included, what is?

Attention all other airlines: I have been traveling quite a bit. Who wants my money? I can fly out of Reagan National or Dulles. All I want is a little bit of help when I need it.

I’m not just talking trash either. I was shopping with Devra today and she had to return something at Nordstrom. The people we so nice! They took care of her exchange and went out of their way to make sure she was happy and got what she wanted. You can be sure I will be shopping in their store again.

So, Spirit, why can’t your customer service representatives be helpful? Do you honestly pay some one $7 - $10 per hour just to say they are sorry and that they can’t do anything for me?

I don’t know about the rest of the people out there that fly, but I am getting sick of the crappy treatment I am getting from the airlines.

And I am not afraid to write about it.

Suck it

Love

Sincerely,

Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah

* And believe you me. I know a lot of bad words.

Nickelodeon Has Smiled Upon Me Today

October 12, 2007 | Open Letters, Parenting, TV, The Goon Squad

Dear Nickelodeon/Nick Jr.,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you from the bottom of my exhausted heart.

My kids have been absolute nightmares all day long. It took me two hours to get Claudia dressed this morning. Then the doorbell rang and it was DHL bringing me this:

Dora_spongebob_nick jr.

Your timing could not have been more perfect. My children saw this and were falling all over themselves to be well behaved. Suddenly “NO! AAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!” became “Mommy, may we please watch Dora and the Mermaid? Dora is my favorite. Oh, I love Spongebob. Why, sure I’ll put some pants on. Which pants would you like me to wear today?”.

Thank you.

Your #1 Fan,

Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah

An Open Letter to the Clock on My Oven

September 27, 2007 | Open Letters

Dear Oven Clock,

You don’t have a feature that involves the date. So why do you care if it is am or pm when I reset you? You don’t even have an am or pm display? You are just screwing with me, aren’t you.

Admit it.

5:37

Jerk.

It wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have to reset you every single time my power blinked off for two seconds. But I do.

So, let’s quit playing games, you and I? Deal?

Sincerely,

Sarah
