[Vision2020] Am I too demanding of Customer Service?

[thansen@moscow.com]

Logically speaking, Mr. Fox, the likelihood of a female employee of WinCo 
claiming that she is being exploited is extremely remote.  Unless, of course, 
she no longer wishes to be a female employee of WinCo.  

To verify either side of this argument, you would have to speak with former 
employees of WinCo.
