> We do. Here at the St. Abattoir, London's largest toy store, your childhood is our business. We think of ourselves not as merely customer service representatives but as consumer psychologists—-predicting the next toy-_wunder_. If you’re in a “gift sized fix” and in need of the latest razzler dazzler—-you call us. We want you to buy. Preferably now, but if not now, there’s a wonderful savings plan we will tailor to your needs. And we promise, that here at the St. Abattoir, during every phone call you’re guaranteed to hear: “Hi there, my name is Charlie King. Thank you for calling, and how may I help you?”

Thank you for any feedback, I hope this adheres to the [community guidelines](https://writers.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/166/what-are-the-guidelines-for-asking-for-a-critique-of-my-work). If not, please let me know.
