To Whom It May Concern,

 

I was in your park today, riding your rides. Suddenly, a great hunger overcame me and I ran to the nearest concession stand craving something salty. At first I was utterly abhorred by the shocking price of a pretzel - $5.99. But soon after, I was comforted by the word “GIANT” in front of “PRETZEL” on the menu. A GIANT pretzel is surely worth $5.99, and it certainly lived up to its name. I tried to eat the whole thing myself, but my four friends kept telling me “Kevin! You can’t eat that WHOLE giant pretzel. Let me help,” subsequently subtracting pieces of my pretzel for their own possession.

 

Let me get something straight: I ordered a GIANT PRETZEL. This is exactly what it said on the menu, and exactly what I got. But it’s the transaction that bothers me. First of all, I was handed a receipt. Why? Do people return GIANT PRETZELs? And second, the receipt said “GAINT PRETZEL.” I do not believe this is what I ordered, and moreover, I don’t know what the word “Gaint” means. Is it used to express an inability to perform, as in “Gaint spell me no grammars?”

 

Perhaps you should consider spending less money on those people who follow me and want to take my picture all the time, and more money on educating your concession stand employees.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Kevin Dickinson
