Not-So-Smart Card
Customer: “Where are your film cameras?”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, we don’t carry those anymore, but our digital ones are right over there.”
Customer: “Okay, and where are the film ones?”
Me: “Unfortunately, we stopped carrying film cameras a long time ago.”
Customer: “Is that one film?”
Me: “No, sir. None of the cameras in this store will be film.”
Customer: “But that one is big. See, the film goes right there!”
Me: “That is actually where the batteries go. This camera doesn’t need film because it is a digital camera.”
Customer: “So where does the film go?”
Me: “No film, sir. They store the pictures on an SD card.”
Customer: “Why aren’t you listening? All I want is to buy a film camera!”
Me: “I am very sorry, sir, but we only carry digital cameras. No film cameras.”
Customer: *looks at a camera* “I think I want that one. What kind of film is best to put in it?”
Me: *giving up* “It is actually pretty interesting, they started putting all the film in this tiny little card to protect it from any sort of light. Only machines can develop the film, because the card is so small, so you can only get prints by putting the card in a computer.”
Customer: “Isn’t that amazing! That is so smart, the things they come up with today!”
