CSC VOLUME 59

This is why I won’t give two flying fucks if certain businesses go belly up because of this crisis:

Just before The Shutdown I got my new iPhone at the local Verizon store here. With it (on the salesguy’s recommendation, of course) I bought a case and a decent glassine screen protector. Don’t know how much I paid but the price tag says $49.99 for the fucking little slice of plexi that he put on my screen for me. (Of course my phone & accessories purchase was ended with, “If you need anything come back and we’ll take care of it.”)

Well, two weeks in, at the start of the shutdown, the fucking screen protector start starts to bubble up in the corner of the screen and peel up. I couldn’t get it back on. So considering the store just opened back up and people are getting shit done, I popped in there today to see if they can either reapply it or replace it.  Didn’t expect any problem.

One of the salesguys comes to greet me at the door and I tell him the issue. “Sorry. We can’t replace it for free.”

“WTF??” This thing lasted two weeks.”

“Sorry.”

“I paid for this and it barely lasted. It should at least be under some sort of warranty.”

“The best I can do is give you a new one for half price.”

“What’s half price for this?”

“$29.”

“Are you fucking kidding me?” (Me walking away.)

Right next to us there were people online to get into the supermarket. I made sure they heard every fucking word I said.

If that wasn’t bad enough, when the guy was looking at my phone he had no fucking gloves on. And he starts rubbing the screen with his fingers to try to get the bubbling out. No. Fucking. Gloves.

I should shame those motherfuckers on the Croton FB page.

Motherfucker.
