1641 - NAW and a surprise

Have I mentioned before how I think cell phones are pieces of excrement. I thought I might have. So when I saw this Not Always Right posting I realized just how long real phones have been pushed into the background. It's sad.

Retail | Yorkshire, UK | Tech Support
Customer: “Hi, I’m looking for a cordless phone.”

Me: “No problem, they’re just over here.”

Customer: ‘I’m wanting one without batteries and that you plug into the
mains, do you have any?’

Me: “That would defeat the point of a cordless phone wouldn’t it?”

Customer: “No, I had one last time!”

Me: “Was it like this?”

(I show her the corded phones.)

Customer: “Yes! See, a cordless phone you plug in!”
