That's a juvenal retaliation. Are you 12? Be a man and complain
directly to someone in charge.

Some kid in their marketing department thought posting here would be a
good idea. At least it's a legitimate business where you can make
your voice heard, unlike our handbag and shoe spammers, so grow up and
complain in an adult manner if you're so bothered.
