Introduction/Definition/etc
So several phones were on sale/clearance
and had to take them up to the register to get
more information, though on site open wifi
might have helped, cashier said the
Blu phone was only 16 gig
at more ~$30 and older Android,
the AT&T PrePaid Nokia 31a
with Android Pie was 32 Gig
so went with that for $25
with a surprise e911 charge
added into it, at the register...
Unlocked the security device on the one
i was buying saying i may be back for the other,
and went back the next day,
with a huge run around that they could not find it,
a pregnant sales woman maybe didn't look in the
bottom back corners near the register,
suggested i try again tomorrow,
looking on the app they didn't have it shown
the clearance items aren't well tracked
several places checked,
and something about RFID
and searching the whole store,
but didn't bother,
something about Salvage,
being sent out to be destroyed?
maybe that is what happens,
but likely the comments at the register,
someone, a nice, happy/ respecttul? rare,
girl with a McLean sweatshirt
may have cherry picked it and gotten fired?
Bringing a ;sister' up to the register didn't help,
hair weave, but attitude, most had attitude
and upon arriving the next day,
he's not going to be happy
so knew it was bought out from under me,
though not put on order pickup/ hold,
but made it clear i'd be back,
and then a lot run around and
unprofessionalism, afaict...

Original Text
So the phone, looking at
very little, later finding the fine
print inside, after opening,
a pull tab like paper opening
to accept terms/ license. LegalSleeze
and may stop working within a month,
as don't intend to buy a prepaid
card and activate, just use as a WiFi
device, but might want to later,
and it's a locked phone, so maybe
might want to put a SIM chip,
in it and do it that way,
they want to recoup the loss of the
relatively expensive phone,
not really, 32 gig and $25
sisn't that advanced a phone
the Android Go versions are intended
for low end phones ,the iPhones
and other stuff is way more,
the Blu phone i later discover
for $100 list but more on sale
for less memory might not have had
that problem, buying a sim chip/
a few/ and hop between networks
say for a trip (GSM World Phone?)
or whatever, sick of
YoureGoingToHaveToWaitSLW2019
or whatever
and stuck for a long time,
not a contract, but not a fair system either,
imnsho...

What's Missing?
clear legalSleeze
terms that one can live with
interesting packaging
all the AT&T prepaid phones look bland
and don't really show the special features
of the model handset you might be buying,
just blue box, logo, etc...
Blu ironically not a Blue packaging
but Red and much smaller box,
with security tag on it,
and seemed like it had been opened,
was not that interesting, and locked
with a security device could not open
the packaging to see the phone,
but weighing or something to see if
it is even in there, packaging complete,
say missing the wall wort,
cable(s), SIM card, etc...
Other USB-C cables
as not the usual ones,
D shaped
(remember RS232 D connectors?)
with spring like things that wear out
and have to get anohter
these might be either direction,
don't care, which way is up/ down
and small,
but the latest is no plug required
and water proof too,
this is not, the back opens
to get to the memory card/ SIM
Dual
BATTERY IS NOT REPLACEABLE/
REMOVEABLE
by users even if you can get to it,
so may kill the device by pulling
it, if that is even wise to try...
Serial numbers DRM and locking
by obscurity my be techniques
employed by multinational corps
besides the usual
OpenDogTags2018
tracking people, especaily poor
with mobile electronics...
What Can Be Found?
Ways to spend money,
old (smart?)phones 2018 date(s)
were there, and not what one might
expect...
What Can Not Be Found?
the Blu C6 for ~$30
back up to $100
and even that one could not be found...
all the while on security camera
at the register, and call a code like
get someone up front,
threats of stealing and other cashier
we can't find it so blame the customer
type illegalities...
Someone should / might / will be fired?
In a sane world, where the cashiers
are not all millenial (sp?) haters,
it could/ would happen....
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Noob
Well it doesn't work like the older ones,
some dumb button type thing
and then the back thing only shows up
some times, and why did i throw away
my old phone? KitKat and LolliPop
ForEver, DudeZ...
Geek
Well history geeks would love
models like this, see, so far behind
the bleeding edge we are,
10 is current, and out,
takes about a ear to make a major
release, and betas, reference devices,
etc...
TeleCom Pros
Not worth our time
5G is where it's at,
if not just plain sat phones...
UberGeeks
Probably already moved on to more interesting
things...
Phreaking...
Well we call from Uber, get it?
/NasalLaughChoke/FartBurp
PowerUsers
Well the Users are Really Losers,
or they would be making money off of the FUD,
so see you in LevenWorth, Dude/ettes...
AnDroidDevs
Not a reference phone,
but not unknown company
to the Security Updates...
DisAbled
Well depends upon the disAbility,
some might be more like
Monk and know more and investigate
annoyingly the details, and ask questions,
Columbo like, catching the liars in all sorts
of annoying positions...
Poor
I just wanted a phone
and now i've lost that too,
the Corp people stole from me again,
seemed like a cheap way to be online,
and then the INS, and InterPol,
and it all got to be quite complicated,
quickly...
Maybe Trump will be ImPeached
and we will get back to NorMal?
General Public
General confusion requiring a sales
person talk where they talk down to you,
and basically abuse you,
verbally and/or emotionally...
Sure you don't want Consumer Cellular?
You do have grey hair,
if any hair at all...
We have some Dumbed Down Phones
for people like you...
I mean big buttons you can actually see,
like the big piano in the Meg Ryan/
Tom Hanks film?
See, Flip this Up and then you just press
number buttons to dial...
One Ringie Dingie,
Two Ringie Dingie,
Three Ringie Dingie...
Yeah, that was rotary,
Party line phones,
with current security someone is listening in anyways...
And it's not PRism, computerized
we had to hire people to keep up with you...
Oh, and toy phones for kids
to pretend to be real people
without calling 911 incessantly
for the fun of it, when you drop your toy/
Blankie...
Assumptions
UnLocked is better,
but maybe more expensive...
PrePaid doesn't require you buy cards,
especially if just trying the hand set
to see if you like the device
before committing more money
than the device to a connection,
use as WiFi...
30 days to try before it stops working is
likely Illegal, imnsho...
IEMI (similar)
and staying in the waiting to be fully
activated with a PrePaid account
given millions of phones, not sure how
many PrePaids floating around the world/
county, state region,
and something better is likely needed
from prepaid/ telecom/ handset/
old PDA/ Android/ Smart/DumbPhone
industry/ies
...
Time Limits
30? days before it stops working?
Sale items can't be found
An OctoCore phone existed in the clearance
area, but that was more than I could reasonably
expect to pay, $100 and didn't go down,
then not even there...

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Fucked with (my french for being messed/
lied to/ snickered at? and other stuff
that one could easily get fired for
if actually SuperVised...)
by sales drones,
tried three of them over two visits
the same returning day
and not much help,
basically ending with
the false accusations of stealing
after having bought and
they could not even find the Blu device,
say it was sold,
or on hold/ etc
but clearance and can't hold them,
(up there with AldiCantFind2019
for lack of corp responsibility
especially AldiAmbiano9In1ProgrammablePressureCooker2019
and/or
AldiAmbianoPressureCooker2019
only one of those worked
(votes for model numbers in PageNames?)
have to buy something full price for Pickup / Hold / Curb etc,
app doesn't really help find clearance,
i don't even bother most times
like
BestBastards2018
low inventory and bother taking a trip,
say with a cab, buses, etc
and costs more than the savings/
device, so
CherryPicking is apparently a store
policy one can be fired for,
but having security devices and people
listening in, have to take it up front to get it
unlocked to even see details of what it
is, what android version, how much memory,
phone MegaPixels, etc
much less all the terms are hidden in the LegalSleeze
for prepaid and/or any other complicated electronics,
and others likely swoop in taking all the research
and travel/ commuting/ etc time and
what had hopes up for,
replacing some broken screen phones,
with something else,
and back to sadistic millenials (sp?)
and others enjoying you not getting
what you came in for,
while accusing of stealing, etc
when they can't even find what was there
yesterday and said would be back for...
/Snicker, etc
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
What is reasonable for counter help?
security?
store policies?
Online counts?
Locating something you said you wanted?
App privacy?
Free WiFi Online Privacy?
UpLoad Speeds?
Accuracy?
J11 location(s)?
find in store maps?
moved somewhere else,
and only places where clearance
items are, three plus places in the store,
and can't find it, plus the lock up in the back?
Are terms like salvage defined?
