Ok, I'm about to share way too much information here, but I just have to share my story as an example of how our allegedly American retail industry (and customer service in general) has reached new levels of stupidity.Recently I ordered a bra online. For those of you already wondering, let me explain. I am not one of those people who can just walk into Victoria's Secret and purchase a bra. Mainly because Vicky doesn't manufacture bras to fit my abundant God-given assets. No, there is not a single store in a two hour radius of me where I can purchase such incidentals. Therefore I rely on the wonderful world wide web when I need such things, and unfortunately pay what the average person pays for a concert ticket. So, getting back to my story... I recently ordered a brassiere, and when it arrived about a week later, I discovered that it was not sized properly, and so I had to return said brassiere. Deciding that it was the style of the bra that caused the problem, I requested an exchange for one identical to some I have purchased in the past. So, other than the 3-4 week wait the company usually takes to process exchanges, I was then happy because I would be getting a bra that 1) would fit and 2)would be comfortable, as I was already familiar with said bra. Right? Wrong!! Finally today, which wasn't actually 3 or 4 weeks, but was still plenty long enough when you've run out of bras that fit properly, my new package arrives in the mail. Well, let me just say I'm not even going to waste my time in contacting customer service via phone to complain, because they obviously don't speak any English!!! If they did, they would recognize the difference between a "B" and a "G"!!! And I must say, even if the person completing the exchange had trouble deciphering my handwriting (the exchange form that I mailed in was handwritten), anyone with an ounce of common sense would realize that there is quite a significant difference between a "B" and a "G". I mean, come on. Just hold up the bra and freakin look at it! A "B" is what tweens with mosquito bites wear. A "G" is what a Penthouse model wears. (Not that I profess to be a Penthouse model, but you get my point.) Besides, if I wore a "B", why would I spend $40 on an ugly ass bra when I could just buy a cheap $5 thing at Wal Mart??? I promise you, for $40, I could buy a rhinestone bejeweled "B", complete with hand-stitched lace and inflatable padding. So now, I once again have to pay (I'm really mad about that part) to ship back another bra that does not properly "enhance my assets," and wait another indeterminable amount of time to be granted the wish of a brassiere that fits. The worst part? I can't even complain to anyone at aforementioned company, because if they get nasty and decide not to grace me with their product, I will have to find some other online retailer and pay closer to $100 for an over the shoulder boulder holder. Ugh, the perils of being blessed with big bosoms
