To the Editor:
Dearest lady in line behind me in Walmart checkout, I understand your frustration regarding my coupons. However, I have a deployed boyfriend that doesn’t have access to any basic essentials and sending them to him can get expensive.
Please, if you feel the need to verbally express your disgust, do so to the companies that won’t donate these items. Because they won’t donate, I must purchase them and I refuse to purchase them at full price when I can guess their cost to produce is pennies to the dollars I’m paying.
Here’s an idea: Why don’t you donate items? Until then, please keep commentary to a minimum.
Sincerely, the crazy coupon lady who makes sure her soldier is properly supplied.

Congratulations Melissa!!! I am proud that you would follow through on publishing this letter. In hopes of that individual realizing inappropriate social actions are often noticed. Unfortunately that person is probably too unintelligent to read the editorial sections. I know I am able to weigh my own level of imaptience, due to your article. May your BF, and those around him, be affected positively by your hard work.
