Gerald strolled around, not knowing which brand to buy.
He just needed a sturdy phone.
In the end, his eyes were locked on a phone model. It was of extremely good quality with a price tag of 2830 dollars.
It was arguably an expensive phone.
“Miss, may I have a closer look on that new phone? Thanks!”
Gerald politely asked the saleswoman.
The saleswoman had seen Gerald searching around for almost half a day. From the way Gerald was dressed, she knew he would probably pick a cheaper phone.
However, she thought he was just trying to save face.
Since he was walking around in a well-known mall, the saleswoman thought Gerald was here pretending to look around. Then, she expected him to act as if the phone was not what he wanted and he would instead buy some 50-dollar miscellaneous unbranded phone and slip away.
She had seen too many such people.
When the shabby-looking Gerald walked towards her store, she looked down on him.
She was surprised when Gerald said he wanted to have a look at the most expensive phone among the bunch.
“Sorry sir, customers aren’t allowed to try out this phone without buying it!” The saleswoman said impatiently.
What she really meant was show me the money if you have it, f*ck off if you do not.
“Can’t I even have a look at it first?!” Gerald asked.
He did not have his wallet on him at the moment, so the only way for him to pay was to insert his SIM card into the phone and pay via online payment.
“No, sir! It’s our store’s rules!” The saleswoman snickered.
“Margie! Are you busy at the moment? I’ve brought some friends over to have a look at some phones!”
“Ahhh, welcome!”
