Lockout Casualty Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Genuinely funny response from a pharmacy trolled over its junk-mail Cory Doctorow at 12:22 pm Sun, Jun 2, 2013 Andrew sez, "Sometimes I write silly emails to companies when I actually have a mundane request. Usually, they either ignore me or reply with boring customer-service talk (We apologize for... Thank you for shopping with...'). Recently I got a piece of mail from Canadian pharmacy chain Shoppers Drug Mart that was addressed to someone who doesn't live here anymore. I had fun with the email I sent them, and their response (can be viewed in the link) was pure gold!" This really is rather good. Andrew's letter asked Shopper's if the letter had possibly been addressed to a future tenant at his address, fallen through a time-hole. Shopper's responded with a list of products from the future that he could look for in its circulars to determine whether this was the case: 1) Now at Shoppers Drug Mart: Everexis Cure any disease instantly with Everexis! Great for headaches, colds, cancer and more! With no known side effects, nothing can possibly go wrong! 2) 20X The Points on Meat Products Got the Everexis munchies? Fill your strange and unspeakable hunger and get 20X The Points! 3) 20% Off Everexis Antidote Everexis left you slow, lumbering, and quick to anger? Take the Everexis antidote. It hasn't been fully tested, but it certainly can't make things any worse! 4) Hide in a Shoppers Drug Mart Refugee Shelter With over 1,200 locations still standing across Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart is the ideal place to hold up and hide from the hoard. Ration Nativa Cheese Puffs and Life Brand Vitamins while you wait for rescue! Blood samples will be required for admittance. 5) Wheat, Glorious Wheat Exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart! Rebuild society with wheat, a traditional non-synthetic foodstuff from the before-times. Act fast, as quantities are extremely limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
