Chapter 79: Chapter 79 - Phone Shopping
The navigation system told me that there was one in a area around me and gave me it's direction. I memorized the directions and walked there and as I was walking, a place immediately got my attraction as I looked towards it.
I was looking at a shop called FPhones and thought that it was a store that sold phones.
'But what is with the names people! Why are so many names in this place so weird and strange.'
I went in and looked for a clerk as one came immediately towards me. It was a women in her early 20's. She gave me a professional smile and said to me "Hello sir, please come in. Are you looking for a new phone or are you here to replace one?"
"I want a new phone."
"Excellent! If you don't mind, Can you tell me your price range?"
"It doesn't matter how much it cost as long as it does everything smoothly and has a lot of functions."
Hearing my words she gave me a smile that resembled similar to a shark and said "OF Course, Sir! Our facility is one of the biggest in the phone industry. You will get whatever phone you want in our facility without any hassle as we are quite adept in what we do."
'Hmm... this women is quite good in attracting customers, she must be one of those 'Sweet Talkers' that people want to avoid but actually get more caught in the web.'
"If you would follow me sir." She said and took me to a room that had AC and a tv as well and I could see that It was VIP treatment that she was giving me.
'As I though, if people dressed like they belong to the higher stations than even if they weren't those people would still get the treatment that rich people get.'
As I sat down she asked me a few more questions "Sir, which manufacturer do you want?"
As I didn't know any so I asked her "Which do you think would be the best?"
She immediately answered me without missing a beat "Right now, there are two phones that are trending quite quickly in your age group, The XPhone manufacturing company and the SecDroid manufacturing company. Which one do you want me to get for you?"
Hearing the names of the company I was stumped... a lot as I asked "...What was the names you said just now?"
"The XPhone and SecDroid Manufacturing Company."
"...Don't you think that the names are kinda... strange."
"Why would I sir?" She asked me with confusion etched on her face.
'Yes, it might be like this because the name was made without any bad intentions or people weren't really that perceptive of it, so they didn't think much of the names.'
'But still... What is with the naming sense of this world man... You know what, I should just be glad that my own name wasn't something that was strange or demeaning in any way.'
As the female clerk saw that I was in deep contemplation she quickly asked of me.
"Sir, Is there any problems with this brand to you? Do you want me to look for other phone manufacturing companies for you?"
"No no, its fine I'll stay with the ones you said just now."
"Alright, but sir if you have any problems please tell me, we have a lot more phone companies that might satisfy your needs."
Impressed by her way of doing business I smiled and said "Alright I'll tell if there is any. Can you tell me what features both of this phone companies have that might differentiate them from one other."
"Well the XPhone has the highest graded CPU than the SecDroid but that doesn't mean that the SecDroid is behind it no, they are only behind by a small margin. And about the SecDroid they have the best camera's in their system and the XPhone are only a step behind them in better quality pictures."
"What do you think would be the best phone it would be for me to buy?"
"If your looking for better picture quality and longer battery life than it's better for you to get the SecDroid which has the average price range of 500 to 2000 Dollars."
"But if your looking for functionality and bigger storage than you should get the XPhone which has a higher price range than the SecDroid."
It was clear to me which one I should get as I said "Show me the XPhones." Because the pricier one thing is the better they are, it was that simple actually and of course I also chose because of the bigger storage and the better functionality... definitely not because of the name.
"Alright sir, please wait for a moment as our employees bring out the products and in the mean time what would you like? Burger, Pizza, Drinks or anything else that you might favor." She asked me as she brought out a digital pad and looked at the different refreshments there were in it.
'Okay, now this is a employee who knows what she is doing. Even while I was getting VIP treatment back in the train facilities not even Mary asked me like this and gave me options that should have been for kids.'
'But this lady right here, she knows that I am a kid and I would of course want junk food and not those 'Refined Food' that people with a stick up their ass would like.'
"I'll get a smoothie, thanks."
"Of course, sir. Please wait a moment." She said that and typed something in the pad as after only a slight moment later another lady came and gave me a smoothie which I started to enjoy.
I waited for a few minutes as I talked with the clerk lady and asked about different things about phones and nothing that might implicate that I was actually asking for general information.
Then the door opened as a lady in her 30's came inside with a glass tray that had five phones in it and put them down in front of me. She then bowed to me once and left.
I was quite impressed by the bow she gave me and definitely not because of the sight of those big plushies. I would have ogl- appreciated her beauty a little more if it wasn't for the clerk lady who started telling me about the phones.
"Sir the phones you have in front of you are all from the XPhone company. And are the best they have made at the current moment."
"We have the XPhone 152 at the price of 1200 Dollars, XPhone 280 at the price of 1400 Dollars, XPhone 790 at the price of 2000 Dollars, XPhone 999 at the price of 2600 Dollars and finally the XPhone 69C at the price of 4200 Dollars."
"Which one is the best? and why are the prices so different for them?" I didn't even think of the names any longer.
"Sir all of the phones have the same functionality and the reason for the price being such a huge difference was because of their value of being limited editions and there only being made so few of them."
After thinking for a moment I came to my decision and chose the one that I wanted.
"I'll take this one."
