Ok, I admit it. I download images of naked people on my phone. And I also have some of me on it. Along with photos of family and friends.
So there was a little trepidation about stopping in this Verizon store for a problem with the charge port on my phone. "But they are professionals and I'll be with my phone and can prevent them from taking a wrong turn in my pictures gallery.
When the associate took my phone to the back room I thought, "Nothing to worry about. Probably some equipment back there."
But after 8 minutes (still wear a watch) and all 4 associates in the back room - leaving me and another customer alone in the front of the store - I got a little worried that my privacy was being invaded. One finally came out to return to the customer he had been helping and I asked him (politely) to tell his colleague that I needed to get back on the road and did not have time to stay. He went to the back, the other 2 associates returned with him, and lastly, the fellow who took my phone. "It had lint in it. I was getting out lint," he said.
8 minutes and 3 associates to deal with lint in a charger port? Really? To their credit, my power cord fits into the port better, but 8 minutes to clean lint out of a little space? And had he just coincidentally finished when I asked for my phone back?
You tell me. read more
