I have come to really enjoy writing "wacky" letters to people.
The more bizarre and overly confessional they are, the more I enjoy writing them.

What?
No, I don't think so.
Oh, please.
Just read the letter.
Lets not make it a life lesson here people.

Dear Warby Parker,

Is your tortoise shell monocle available with a prescription lens?
I just need a 1.75 reading lens if that's available.

Thank you,

El Pinche Pirata del Fuego

Hey there Pinche'r -

Thanks for your email - and your interest in Warby Parker! 

We can absolutely fill our monocle with a +1.75 reading lens.

Here’s how to do it:
1) Head to the monocle page and click "add to cart".
2) Navigate to your shopping cart, making sure that your desired frame has been added, and proceed to checkout.
3) Here you’ll be prompted to let us know if you'd like your glasses for reading. After selecting this option, you'll be able to enter in the magnification power you'd like for your readers—and our lab will take care of the rest.


That’s it! 

Easy as pie.


Let me know if I can answer any more questions—I’m here to help. Can’t wait to get you in a pair of Warby Parkers!


Best,
Alexa

Hi Alexa/Warby Parker Customer Service Representative:
(assuming you are not a robot)
(but if you are a robot then 1000111100011110000000101010101010000),

I recently purchased your Warby Parker Colonel Monocle. 
 
While not necessary to this order, I feel that I should defend that purchase by saying:
A.) I am not a hipster.
2) I lost the use of my right eye to brain cancer several years ago.

Whew.

That takes a lot of my chest.
God help me if I'm ever confused with a hipster. 
Having the big "C" is tough, but being accused of being a hipster might actually kill me.

Thanks for listening, Alexa.
It's really sweet of you. 

Annnnyhooo,
The monocle came thru just fine, however, it's a bit too large in diameter to stay put and I find it tedious to hold it in place for more than a second or so, which defeats the whole purpose, if ya' know what I mean.

So, I would like to exchange the monocle for one in a smaller diameter if possible. 
I would reckon that a 1/4" smaller would do.

In lieu of that, I would like to return the monocle for a refund - although I am willing to consider baked goods instead of cash.
Do you guys make cupcakes? 
You mentioned pie in your previous email.
I could really go for a cupcake right now.

Ok.
That'll do for now.
Great to talk to you, Alexa.

Sooooo, by the by, I'll be having a drink at The Family Dog tonight, if you happen to be in the neighborhood………

Invoice attached for reference :


Sincerely,
Your friend and mine,
El Pinche Pirata del Fuego
