I bought a new camera a few days ago. I ordered it online and had it shipped to my parents house. Went all out, getting this big package deal with several lenses, bags, cords…you name it, I ordered it. The package was delivered and a lense was missing. The most important one. I wasn’t happy. So as I was searching through the box, my father called the company to report it. Here’s how the conversation went:
Dad: “Yes, we recieved the package and the 50mm lens is missing.”
Salesman: “It’s missing? What do you mean it’s missing?”
Dad: “It didn’t come in the box.”
Salesman: “Really? Did you check the box?”
Dad: (After a roll of the eyes and a pause) “Yes.”
Salesman: “Well, check again, because it should be there.”
Dad: “I know it should be there. Hence, why we’re calling.”
Salesman: “Did you check the small box with the cords in it?”
Dad: “Yes, and it’s not there. It wouldn’t fit in that box, anyway.”
Salesman: “Oh. Are you sure it’s not in the big box? It’s usually covered with that white popcorn stuff so nothing happens to it.”
Dad: “We took everything out of the box and it’s not there. And by the way, there was no popcorn stuff.”
Salesman: “Oh, that’s weird. Did you check inside the camera body?”
Dad: “What?”
Salesman: “Check inside the camera body. It could be there.”
My Dad relays this message to me. I look at him like he has three heads.
Dad to Salesman: “No, it’s not in the camera body.”
How, on God’s green earth, would a lens fit inside a camera body???
And this guy works for a company that sells professional cameras. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!
All I can say is: Wow!
