[LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]Tea gift set fell short

Published: 03 Oct. 2003, 22:50

Before the Chuseok holidays last month, I bought a green tea set from a department store. But I was shocked when my friend and I opened the gift. The jar that was supposed to be full of tea leaves was instead only about 20 percent full.
I am outraged at the company for selling such a small amount of tea at sky-high prices. The company said the jar contained the correct amount of tea, and offered to refund my money. I declined because that would not compensate for the caring I wanted to show my friend.
This is defrauding consumers.
