I have no idea who the scheduler is but, IMO, the title of the thread is unjustified. I wonder how you would feel if a scheduler created a thread about you and entitled the thread "Bat**** crazy shopper."

Mmmm. It was possible that she was confused because you wrote "Pizza Luche" instead of "Pizza Lucé." If she schedules both lunch and dinner pizza shops, her confusion was understandable.
There is a Pizza Lucé at 3200 Lyndale Ave S. It looks like you went to the one at 800 W 66th St.

How on earth was that Internet slang? It looks like she had her Caps Lock key on and made some mistakes. Again, I wonder how you would feel if she pointed out your mistakes in spelling and syntax and characterized you as bat**** crazy as a result.

I sympathize with your point about crazy fonts, etc. However, I still think you are being way too harsh about the scheduler.

Well, I vented about one independent scheduler who was driving me nuts. Later on in that thread, I identified the company. The scheduling manager read the thread. As far as I know, the scheduler who was driving me (and some other shoppers) nuts is no longer scheduling for that company.
