The wife’s four year old 4G phone has been acting up lately and people she talks to incessantly have been having a hard time hearing her as suddenly everything goes quiet. Sometimes it’s been a bit like the old fashioned dial up when she receives videos from friends and family and access to the internet has been more difficult as of late.
This means we needed to head out to the closest store that provides our phone services today and get her a new 5G phone and while there suffer the sticker shock . Of course the sticker shock doesn’t end at the sticker shock as you need more than the phone, you need a protective cover for the face …..
“ How much is that ? “ I asked
“That’s $33.00 “ said the very polite 18 year old sales person {girl}
“ Fine “ I said, and of course the wife thought it important to have a protective case .
“ How much is that ?” I asked
“ That’s $ 33.00 “ said the very polite 18 year old sales person {girl}
“ Fine “ I said
And so after feeling sexually brutalized we went home to discover that the cord to charge the phone was present but there was no means to plug it into the wall . So we went back to inform the cute little 18 year old we can’t charge the phone as it’s missing the plug.
“ They aren’t provided with the phone Sir , if you have a very late model car you can charge it there if it has the appropriate USB port , or you can charge it off your computer …. If it’s a newer computer or with an adapter if not .”
The poor girl patiently listened to my thoughts on this topic and then and informed me that she had paid well over $1000 for her phone and still had to purchase the adapter to charge it from a wall socket separately …..
“ How much is that ? “ I asked
“ That’s $ 33.00 “ said the very polite 18 year old sales person {girl}
“ Fine” I said yet again ……
So… what’s next I wonder . Will the next salesman that sells me a Ford F150 ask ….
” Want wheels with that ? “
