Shop Talk

not even, Nikoletta...

Not even.

(that was sarcasm you know right?)

ahahahah, yes I knew I just wanted to state that it was double.

What happends when he reads their minds and finds out they don't have one? he's still in the same posision then 😛

I'm in college, does that make me special? Dangit, why did I have to pay for my new phone? I should be special too!

I hate it when somebody doesn't get an accessory here because they can save $3 by going down to Walmart. Yeah, they might save a buck or two, but it's almost guaranteed to break in 3 months... 🙂

no, theyre all made by the same chinese kids, wal mart ones are of no less quality than the ones you sell.

I would usually agree, but ours are from a company called Technocell. My boss told me it is an american company, but I wouldn't doubt it being in China. I know they only cost about $3, but we sell them for $30.

they are all american companies, but its the same chinese kids that make them all, no matter the glitz or glamor.

they call them things sweat shops, really fancy name

and when you take into account the fact that we sell them for $7.44(wal-mart)- $40 OEM Motorola) they all still only cost about .20 (probably wal-mart cost) $3 (your cost which is pretty high, mine is in the middle but i sell it for 19.95) We buy them from a second hand company, whether it be wireless accessories or whatever, so what do they pay for them? they make their money too, so what does wireless pay for their car chargers? they are an american company, which chinese company did they buy them from and for how much? how much does that company need for overhead and how much do the materials cost. I'm sure that 10 year old chinese boy/girl makes .01 for probably every 10-100 he makes, depending on how generous their foreman is.

Gotcha. Hehe. My mother has a weird theory that China has a plan to overtake our economy by selling all the cheap pencils, accessories, etc. She even started yelling at somebody in a store yesterday, telling them they how they shouldn't carry stuff that is made in China. (I wasn't there my sister told me about it...)

She is in favor of buying stuff from an American company, yet she will only buy a foreign car...hmmm.

toyotas used to be the most american car there was, if you are talking GM or ford, i laugh at the thought of them being american. I heard toyota moved/is moving to canada because the people are more innovative and productive (smarter)

Hyundai moved a couple plants to the states. That made me happy because I really had my heart set on a Hyundai but I kinda also wanted to buy something made in the country so I got both with my little Accent, and it gets GREAT gas mileage.

of course they're made by chinese kids......polynesians do shotty work. Gotta go with china for that almost good enough quality.

i like when people demand a motorola because they think they are american phones. and i tell them they are the best in chinese engineering.

I say you can get an LG phone, they are south korean, so at least their government pretends to like us, thats as pro-american as you are going to find.

I just throw up my hands and buy a Samsung. I know it's not made in the wester hemisphere but they win all kinda of quality awards.

And how many companys shut the phone off with no warning. Every company i know sends you letters and calls before they disconnect. Untless you are constantly behind they will make an effort to call you.

We send text messages too, to the phone in question. You have to actively ignore us to not know your bill is due.

Ya. for most people having their phone disconnected is not a supprise no matter how much they argue that it is.

😳 oh icky. I always see them as ... well I'm not going to say because SOMEBODY out there will start screaming "RACIST" before I can finish posting but fat yes, and sitting in a nasty two bedroom single wide trailer with the carpet matted down and the garbage can overflowing and the sink full of dirty dishes... or in a dimly lit room with 8 children screaming in the background with MTV on the 65 inch TV (because they may live in a dump but they gotta have their TV and cable.) blasting hardcore rap. Ugh.

racist racist!

nah, just kidding.

there is a social imagery that goes right through us and we're not responsible for that.

there's no reason why you should feel guilty for the images certain people evoke in your mind.

I come by it honestly at least. My brother likes to point out there is a big difference between being racist and prejudice and EVERYBODY is a little bit prejudice no matter how much they try.

Of course, i hate when people try to be politically correct.

One should always admit the sh*t in the head.

I don't know if that's what's in my head, I was thinking more along the lines of shredded tree-bark or feathers, I'm not sure but it's deffinatly fluffy with pokey parts.
