Vreau s\u0103 schimb filtrul de ap\u0103 la frigider (avem un frigider care d\u0103 ap\u0103 de b\u0103ut \u015fi cuburi de ghea\u0163\u0103). Problema e c\u0103 nimeni nu vinde filtre de schimb, de\u015fi am fost la vreo 5 lan\u0163uri mari de magazine \u015fi am sunat la telefon la alte c\u00e2teva, \u015fi toate v\u00e2nd frigidere cu automat de ghea\u0163\u0103. Se pare c\u0103 e o problem\u0103 \u00een Bucure\u015fti, toat\u0103 lumea vinde produse, dar nimeni nu vinde consumabile. Am sunat la telefon la produc\u0103tor \u015fi mi-au spus c\u0103 \u201epoate au \u00een Metro, c\u0103 acolo se duc to\u0163i\u201d sau, dac\u0103 nu, la ei la firm\u0103 \u00een Otopeni. Mi\u015fto, pentru un filtru care cost\u0103 $40 trebuie s\u0103 m\u0103 duc p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een Otopeni. Prin compara\u0163ie, c\u00e2nd am schimbat un filtru identic la frigiderul din San Francisco, l-am scos din soclu, i-am luat num\u0103rul de model, l-am c\u0103utat pe Google, am dat click pe primul magazin c\u00e2t de c\u00e2t respectabil care-l vindea \u015fi l-am cump\u0103rat. Totul a durat 10 minute, plus \u00eenc\u0103 dou\u0103 zile ca s\u0103-mi vin\u0103 acas\u0103 prin po\u015ft\u0103.<\/p>\n
O problem\u0103 similar\u0103 am avut \u015fi cu telefonul fix. Am intrat pe la vreo trei magazine c\u0103ut\u00e2nd un telefon fix f\u0103r\u0103 fir, cu robot, marca Panasonic (avem \u015fi \u00een State \u015fi ne place mult marca asta). Bun, am g\u0103sit \u00een c\u00e2teva locuri, dar nimeni nu vinde sateli\u0163i suplimentari. Le-am explicat c\u0103 a\u015f vrea 3-4 \u015fi to\u0163i \u00eemi zic c\u0103 sigur c\u0103 da, se pot ad\u0103uga sateli\u0163i suplimentari, dar noi nu-i vindem. \u00cen cele din urm\u0103, am cump\u0103rat un telefon cu un singur satelit (cel care vine cu baza). Evident c\u0103 v\u00e2nz\u0103torul mi-a explicat c\u0103 nu se pot ad\u0103uga sateli\u0163i noi, noroc c\u0103 nu l-am crezut. Acum sunt \u00een stadiul \u00een care am telefonul mult dorit, dar vreau s\u0103-i mai adaug sateli\u0163i, \u015ftiu exact ce model \u00eemi trebuie, \u015fi nimeni nu-l vinde. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
\u00cen Rom\u00e2nia este imposibil s\u0103 iei un produs din raft, s\u0103 dai banii pe el \u015fi s\u0103 ie\u015fi din magazin (poate doar dac\u0103 cumperi o p\u00e2ine). La Diverta am stat o gr\u0103mad\u0103 la coad\u0103 pentru c\u0103, nu \u015ftiu din ce motiv, acolo se pot pl\u0103ti \u015fi facturi la gaze sau altele. Sau dac\u0103 nu este asta, este cineva \u00een fa\u0163a mea care a cerut o factur\u0103, care \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 trebuie completate vreo dou\u0103 kilograme de formulare pentru ca ei s\u0103 poat\u0103 sc\u0103dea pre\u0163ul unei c\u0103r\u0163i din taxele unei firme de tricouri.<\/p>\n
Am cump\u0103rat un fier de c\u0103lcat din Cora \u015fi m-au \u00eentrebat de vreo trei ori dac\u0103 sunt sigur c\u0103 nu vreau s\u0103 fac proba \u015fi garan\u0163ia. Ra\u0163ionamentul meu este c\u0103, dac\u0103 din fiecare 10 produse cump\u0103rate unul nu merge, e ca \u015fi cum a\u015f pl\u0103ti totul cu 10% mai scump \u015fi \u00een schimb scap de ni\u015fte ore de stat la coad\u0103. \u015ei d\u0103-l \u00eencolo, e un fier de c\u0103lcat, nu o plasm\u0103, \u015fi e marc\u0103 bun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Cu cartea de credit surprizele nu mai contenesc. Teoretic, multe magazine zic c\u0103 accept\u0103 c\u0103r\u0163i de credit, dar \u00een final te pun s\u0103 introduci PINul, ori c\u0103r\u0163ile de credit merg f\u0103r\u0103 PIN (spre deosebire de cele de debit). Nu numai, dar e o gre\u015feal\u0103 s\u0103 introduci PINul la o carte de credit, pentru c\u0103 atunci tranzac\u0163ia se face \u00een regim de debit, ca \u015fi cum ai scoate bani ghea\u0163\u0103 de pe cartea de credit. Iar pentru o asemenea tranzac\u0163ie, compania de credit m\u0103 taxeaz\u0103 scurt $20-$30. Motiv pentru care eu n-am folosit niciodat\u0103 PINul la c\u0103r\u0163ile de credit \u015fi nici nu mi-l \u015ftiu. \u015ei e o situa\u0163ie t\u00e2mpit\u0103 s\u0103 te treze\u015fti la magazin cu cump\u0103r\u0103turile f\u0103cute \u015fi neav\u00e2nd cum s\u0103 pl\u0103te\u015fti. P\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 pl\u0103tim cu cartea de debit, ceea ce implic\u0103 alte riscuri (fiind legat\u0103 direct de contul din banc\u0103, ai mai mult de pierdut dac\u0103 magazinul se hot\u0103r\u0103\u015fte s\u0103-\u0163i fure num\u0103rul c\u0103r\u0163ii).<\/p>\n
