Last week one of our hospital cafeterias changed the soup menu for Monday. One employee was really disturbed by the change and replied all with the following:
You know some of us depend on Chicken Noodle Soup on Mondays and today there isn't any. I don't mean to make a big deal out of this but for some reason other soups are served five times a week yet it's decided that the best chicken noodle soup anywhere in the world is ONLY served on Mondays. So we've accepted that ... but PLEASE at least come through on Monday regarding this issue and give us one day of chicken noodle soup. I actually went to a bank and an ATM machine this morning because I forgot cash for chicken noodle soup only to find out it was a waste of time. That also cost me $2.00 additional dollars at the ATM machine above and beyond what I wanted out of there...all for chicken noodle soup that wasn't here. One last thought...get rid of the elbow macaroni in the chicken noodle soup. It was never there before. I mean it's still the best with it but please...nobody puts elbow macaroni in chicken noodle soup...it's not called chicken elbow macaroni soup, it's called chicken noodle soup.
Thanks,
A chicken noodle soup lover (honestly you could can it and sell it at Ralphs and make money for the hospital with that soup).

RO!
Too funny. How'd you get to see the letter? Hope you'll let us know if Chicken Noodle Soup returns on Monday's.
That person must belong to a sub-group of the 'Reply-All Club' here in Phoenix! LOL!
Dear Chicken Noodle Soup Lover:
Thank you for your recent concerns over our Chicken Noodle Soup. We are glad that you love it as much as we do. Unfortunately we will not be able to keep it on the menu every single Monday. There will be times that we either ran out of stock or choose to put another kind out that Monday. Please remember that even though that we strive to please everyone, the universe does not revolve only around you. Also we have several requests for elbow macaroni to be included in the soup to replace the boring noodles… sorry… once again there are others besides you.
PS. Sorry you had to go to the ATM to get cash. Poor planning of your finances is not a concern of ours. Please feel free to consult a financial advisor at your earliest convenience.
Thank you
Hospital Cafeteria Staff
We need to start a petition. BAN usage of the Reply-All Button. It has been abused and overused since it's creation, and now is a time to put it to rest.
Honestly, even though someone copied the world in the original email, not everyone needs to hear the answer.
Soup really is the only thing that the cafeteria can't mess up.
Boy, I can like soup but I don't think I would ever write begging for it. To each his own I guess.
Kim - what kind of reply did you get to your complaint letter?
