These are emails that I received today. The first one was sent to everyone in the local office (note the last line.) The second was one coworker's response.
Below are the items that will be provided by *company name edited* for the potluck on December 21st. Beverages will also be provided. You are welcome to bring in a dessert, appetizer, or anything else you'd like, however it is not necessary (Todd & Elizabeth - your dessert items ARE required!) I'll need to give the restaurant an accurate head-count, so if you have not rsvp'd yet, please do so ASAP.
• Caesar Salad
• Served with French Bread & Garlic Butter
• Two Pastas: Spaghetti and Tortellini
• Two Sauces: Meat Sauce and Pesto
• One Entrée: Italian Herb Chicken
If you have complaints about the menu, see Wendy!
Ms. Wendy,
I am appalled at the choices for this years holiday potluck. How can one be so clearly biased and insensitive to the needs of the greater *company name edited* community? This menu is clearly showing your malcontent for diversity and political correctness at *company name edited*. Who eats only Italian food on the holidays? That's right...only Italians. So basically you have Big Delbrocco covered and that's it. It is one thing to throw in some wet noodles on top of a festive feast to appease those Philadelphia heathens and another to clearly choose foods which don't represent diversity of culture here at *company name edited*.
With that said, I believe that the following companies should be chosen for our 'Holiday' party. Taco Bell, KFC, Wendy's, and Subway. All the major ethnic and religious groups are covered by choosing these fine vendors and what says America more than greasy fat food for people above 30 working on muffin tops. Oh, I forgot one thing: Desert. Clearly we need to have Dairy Queen as the provider; however, we cannot choose the ghetto one down in lakewood. If we do that, then we will get mass orders of incorrect items.
I am appalled at your lack of political correctness and opposition to celebrating diversity. I am going to have to contact Mr. J. C. about your attitude of neglect to our 'win win win' strategy.
Sincerely,
David W
ps...this is a joke. Please don't fire me. and if you do, then Merry Christmas. There - I said the C word. Christmas Christmas Christmas.
