Trying To Extend Your Baby’s Warranty
I own an “invisible shield” kiosk in a mall. We cover gizmos and gadgets, mostly cellphones, with a thin durable piece of plastic that acts as a screen protector.
Customer: “So, what does this stuff do?”
Me: “We add a thin layer of polyurethane plastic on your gadgets to protect them from scratches and general wear and tear.”
Customer: “Awesome! Can you cover my baby with it?”
She gestures to her months-old daughter in the buggy.
Me: “Absolutely not, ma’am. It’s not for people.”
Customer: “She’s not a person; she’s a baby. She’s only ten months!”
Me: “I am not going to scratch-proof your ten-month-old daughter.”
She left disappointed, and I was left disturbed.
