Shop Talk
Awkward!
I just helped Father Time himself choose a new phone...or should I say "tried to help", he'd rather have his son pick one out. Dude was 87 so I'm guessing his son is no spring chicken either, but maybe he's technologically inclined. Anyway, we were chatting and he was pretty pleasant other than talking incredibly slow. Then he pulls this one out on me: "What happens if I die?" Oh boy...well you can't really laugh it off, because he could be serious (you never can tell with old people), but if I give him the correct answer, he might get offended. Luckily his wife swatted him and said, "What are you asking this poor girl?" and they left...but wow.

You say that, we are still reeling from Dish Network charging us for a dead customer's equipment. The customer died before the 6 months required to not have to return the equipment, and, even though the customer's contract, and our contract with Dish states quite clearly that the customer and the customer alone is responsible for the equipment. However, the family stopped all his credit cards and accounts very quickly after his death, and Dish couldn't collect. So they charged us (the now ex dealer) $400 for his equipment and told us to contact the estate to make a collection attempt.
Needless to say we no longer carry Dish Network.
Sorry for the rant, and our cell company has never done this, but it could do.
