    Being treated like criminals

    I’ve been followed around a store. Guess what store I’ve never bought from and won’t be back to.

              And enough people didn’t come back that they went out of business.

                  Yeah, they were great for that. Ever since they closed, I don’t really have a local source for that kind of thing anymore.

              If you went over to the components drawers they’d bolt though, they didn’t know how to answer any questions about that stuff and also knew you were too cheap to buy a cellphone (I’m talking the last 10 years of the store or so, when they tried to be sprint stores or Verizon or whatever).
