Sooo Not Ready For The Internet, Part 9

, , | Right | August 14, 2023

I was working at the Norwegian equivalent of a Best Buy, back in 2007. A customer is interested in a laptop.

Customer: “Could you also help me with my internet access at my house? I only have the internet at work at the moment.”

Our store cooperates with a couple of providers, so I show him a comparison chart of the different plans and bandwidths. He looked at it for a while and asks:

Customer: “These prices, are they for full access?”

Me: “What do you mean?”

Customer: “I only go to [two tabloid news sites]. There’s no way I’m paying for the whole internet!”

What really puzzled me is that he brought with him a printout of the computer he wanted from our website, so he must have had at least an idea of how the internet works.
