Buying Phones August 13, 2007


On the way back from the Hospital experience we went to a place (Sunning) to buy phones. It was a very large store that dealt in electronics. It was kind of a Best Buy plus, but with no little accessories. They had at least 100 phones to choose from. We chose one and asked to buy two phones. (They gave us the English speaking clerk, yahoo) After we paid for them, as they were about to put them into the bag they discovered that they only had one phone, they did a store search but only one phone was available. So we went back to pick out a different phone, as we wanted the same charger and operations for both. All through out this process we were waited on by a total of 14 people at the phone counter. Really, I counted they all wore the same colored shirts. After our second choice, which also turned out to be only one boxed phone, they finally found one that would work for us and they had two! We had many others to choose from but they were more expensive. Ours cost about $53.00 each, we just wanted a basic small phone. Oh! it took 8 people to ring this up. Total time at least an hour and a half. Oh! Did I mention that this was our third attempt at trying to get this done and the problems are sometimes language, but not always is that the case.
