Does anyone bother to check what they've bought these days?



I feel like I'm the only guy in this room who always checks his McDonalds to make sure the order is always right. Whenever I buy an electronic device I always ask the store to make sure it works, buying a new laptop or tablet I ask to make sure it's a fresh install and that it's not an off the shelf model thrown in a box (caught out a guy at PC world who tried that on my Step dad last year).

 

I always do that. However, when it comes to technology, not that many people can tell whether the thing they bought is new or used. Many can't tell whether if it's a ripoff or not.

 

I recall my sister buying a computer for 600 dollars. She complained to me that it was very slow. After examining it for possible viruses, I realized that the specs on her computer were as bad as my 2005 PC. She bought it from best Buy. They probably tricked her into convincing her that it's a "good budget laptop".
