I just tell them it's unreadable ( 😉 it isn't. I'm nearsighted and just take my glasses off. DON'T TELL THEM)

I just ditched a customer survey from the auto service department because it asks questions about stuff I don't really care about, and there's no room for an essay. One that thanks the service technicians!

I'll just write a letter and hand it to the service manager next time I am nearby. Guess which goes up on the cork board?
