An "Unfortunate" Pricematch Denial...LOL

I received this letter from Office Max this morning, and it just struck me as SO funny! (I added the italics for emphasis)

"Thank you for your recent interest and purchase with OfficeMax.com. Unfortunately, I am unable to process your pricematch request. Unfortunately, per our 115% Low Price Policy, the item must be in stock and available to be purchased through the location that we are matching. Unfortunately, per compusa.com this item is currently out of stock and unavailable to be purchased through their location. Unfortunately, your pricematch request is denied. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions, comments or concerns. Thank you for your interest in OfficeMax.com. "

I feel, like, so...UNFORTUNATE! (Anybody see a pattern there?)

By the way, I finally did get my pricematch...it was on the Lexmark Laser Printer, and I eventually faxed in a printout from CompUSA's website showing that while the item was out of stock online, it was still available in my local store at $49.99 after rebate. Though I did get another letter telling me that UNFORTUNATELY I used a coupon, and they had to take that $30 out of my pricematch. I would suggest anyone who got the e210 Laser Printer to try an after-the-fact pricematch, I saved an extra $27.50!

Of course when I replied to her email, I had to be a smart-aleck and tell her that FORTUNATELY, I had a printout, and FORTUNATELY, I was able to fax it to her, and so on...I feel kind of guilty now for giving her a hard time...
...though I did add a smilie at the end of my letter to her so she would know I still love OfficeMax!

HAHAHAHAHA!

Unfortunately, I think Office Max needs to carry a thesaurus.

Yes, I know it was a joke. It was just a suggestion for that officemax employee. My previous post too was just a joke. Unless adding the "unfortunates" was a joke too; if it was I missed the point.
