My local coffee shop's 'apology' email after they messed up a big order just made people angrier

They sent a 500-word message full of corporate speak about 'operational excellence' instead of just saying sorry and offering a refund. Has anyone else seen a brand try to over-explain a simple mistake and make it worse?

Sometimes a real explanation beats a quick refund.

Remember my buddy's wedding cake disaster? The bakery sent a three page email about their "artisanal process" when the top tier was smashed. Just give people their money back.

Yeah, chargeback on the card is the move... they clearly won't fix it themselves.
