Would Trump have to do this
Does this happen to Donald Trump. Somedays, everything we do feels like a major project and problem. My friend in Hudson, needs to have a cell phone working and operating incase there are any issues regarding her health as she moves about. She has complained about the battery not keeping a charge for the day even when she charges it all the time. When I was there a few weeks ago, I took the phone into the local sales office and he looked at it and said, it is low because the farm is in an area that requires more battery power to get a signal. Ok. Well she did not buy that and went to the store that also has repair. There the man said, well your battery is damaged and you need a new battery. She said, I just got a new phone and he said, well they put the old battery in the new phone so you have to buy the battery. She needs a phone, so she bought the battery. On the way home, she is thinking, when the phone came, it came with a new battery so the battery is the same age as the phone and since the phone is still on warranty, why isn’t the battery. She calls up the store and the sales man says, ok.. we will honor that and the next time you are in the area, just stop in and sign a paper and we will give your phone bill credit for the battery. So far, while annoying, still good. We all see on the TV the guy traveling with this pack of people .. the support group. I am not sure what they all do, but they should be expecting pink slips. You will think that there would be one in the bunch that would have stepped up and said, I am your billing support group person and this is the deal. Nothing.. no one. So, we were going to stop on the way back from the Dr. meeting, but the Dr. meeting was cancelled. When my friend gets something in her head.. it is in there until she can check it off. So Sat am, we drove to a southern suburb of Albany to the Verizon store. Admittedly we looked like we just got off the farm and probably had hay in our hair, but we were customers. I have an $80 a month bill and she $40 and many of our friends have plans etc.. so I can talk to several people without a charge. You are my IN group... As she started to talk with an eastern woman about just signing the sheet to get the credit, I looked in the parking lot for the support team.. must have been coffee break for there was nothing but a black dog (Lady) barking in the car. The man that she has dealt with was not there today. This woman took her to the next room to talk to the man at the computer. Jon started clicking away. Georgette started asking the other man that was there if he remembered the situation since he was there. He probably will also be on the fire list, since he did remember. Click click ... Jon said, where is the battery, we need the battery... click click ... at this point, I stepped in and said.. NO WAY ARE WE DRIVING TO HUDSON ( 30 MILES AWAY AT $4.00 A GALLON) TO GO GET A DEAD BATTERY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO THROW OUT... MAKE THIS HAPPEN...YOU MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON OUR NEED FOR A CELL PHONE AND YOU ARE GOING TO NICK DIME US OVER A BATTERY) I was about 8 feet tall when I said it and I must have sounded like I would go “postal” if he did not do something.. click click click click.. Ok.. we can take care of it.. click click.. I went out to the other room to start cooling down. A sales person came over to me as I opened each phone and looked at it... No.. just hanging out waiting... click click click Jon was at it. The man who was just sitting back there with Jon said, there is lots of paperwork when you don’t have everything the way the system expects you to handle things. I looked in the back room and around the store and again in the parking lot.. I guess he doesn’t have a Verizon team to help him either. She left the store with the paper.. but I wonder.. if Donald Trump came in for the same issue.. .would he have to do this?
