Hi :) Blimey. I guess the aim is to deter people from trying LO through sheer rudeness and unreasonable demands.
A good Toyota car-dealer would easily have sold a Toyota car to the person asking about mercs or at least would have left a good enough impression that the person might seek out a Toyota in the future. Posts like e-letter's just convinces people to never try LO and to tell their friends about the awful service here.
