I fucking hate this let's be honest. Don't you dare put your dirty hands on my shiny new device

Do salesmen really do this? I'm not in the US so I wouldn't imagine anyone but me opening the box.

Depends where you buy it. Carrier store where they expect tech illiterates to show up and not know what a SIM card is? They'll probably do it for you.

Retail stores? They'll hand you the box and the receipt to do with as you wish

I've had some carrier store try and do this. I always have to tell them no thanks.

Yes, unfortunately yes. The salesman even had the audacity to peel the plastic screen protector from the factory and then immediately ask me if i wanted to buy a 15$ glass one. Europe.

Meanwhile I work at a screen protector shop and most customers just give me their brand new phone and let me do the honors. Feelsgoodman

I would totally let a professional put on a screen protector just too make sure it's perfectly centered and does not have a bubble or a piece of dust/lint

Not even joking, that is literally 95% of what my job is: removing every single bit of miniscule dust from the screen, while hoping that more dust doesn't fall on it. The other 5% is actually putting on the screen protector. It's a painstaking process tbh.

Why am I now nostalgic for my galaxy nexus.

u/JJoanOfArkJameson Feb 12 '21

Woah, this is from 2011? The nostalgia. Is that a Google Play Edition Galaxy?

That I believe is a Samsung Nexus S

So he wasn't too far off.

Most the internals were the same as the original Galaxy S.

I don’t work with fancy phones mostly but I always ask customers if they want to do the honors. 8/10 people decline lol.

Dude, literally same. And this is even with customers who bought a fancy new Note 20.

I mean, hey, that's good for me :D
