My Beloved Economy

MY BELOVED CONSUMER
Dear Customer:
I am bound to inform you today that my local stand on Cerrito 1208 will no longer function. It will be shut down and so all of our costumer-directed operations will be concentrated on our Microcenter location.
Now, we live in a clear known state of economic welfare that can be considered as slow but the real thing is that, as much as I was always pleased to serve you in this ground, there is simply not enough quantity of costumer as for me to mantain this workplace. You must have notice if, as a frequent visitor see the low pace of operations and accordingly, by irony, how much time was devoted to your requests and effort was put in order to maximize your level of satisfaction.
It must be clear that this is not because we do not care about you. To the worth of your money it must be added the kind of relationships we engaged ourselves in each of your arrivals. I have to confess I was always shy and so I never had the courage to propose any external meetings. It is the price to pay when you devote yourself in a business you cannot completely afford, and meet incredible people you just cannot keep in touch with anymore. Don't think my heart is not moved, our competitors are more than thrilled with this decission and that is intensely painful.
I hope you come visit us anytime to our headquarters location. Beyond the cost of removing our brand from a designated zone within a city, I hate not being able to say that I will do all that I can do with the resources I'm granted, to keep you as pleased as you were, as pleased as you deserve.
Have a good day. Only time will tell what the cost of this end is. I will never understand this economy. So beautiful and naïve, one of my most endearing ant holes.
