Tuesday, September 23, 2003 Just when you thought I was exaggerating... People from Redford (Deadford), Michigan tend to be rather--how shall I put this?--bizarre. I went to the local everything-cellular store on Beech Daly on my way home from work today since my phone's been unhappy (translation: I dropped it one too many times). When I walked in, the only person working at the counter was a thugish Adam Sandler look-alike dressed in a baggy sports jersey; he swaggered to the woman he was helping and called her "honey" and "babe" at least once a sentence (sometimes more). She didn't seem in the least bit perturbed so I assumed that they knew each other. I may have been wrong. When he addressed me, it was "babe" and "honey" all over again. But that doesn't necessarily say anything, right? Heh. He apparently didn't know what he was talking about either. When I described the problem and showed him my phone, he was puzzled and asked if I'd gotten the back plate on it changed. I said no, so he asked where on earth I could have gotten it--which was directly from Sprint. So he pulled out another phone from a box and told me that mine should have the same color. But it was a totally different model. When he realized his mistake, he told me that my phone had been discontinued three years ago. Now, my phone is a little old--almost two years now--but I'd gotten it new; it's a popular model and I got mine just before people started buying them en masse. "Yeah, I worked for Sprint for five years. I know what I'm talking about." Right. ^ Top | 6:44 PM | | |
