Yesterday afternoon, while I was out and about, I passed by a hardware wholesaler. I decided to stop by, "who knows, maybe I'll find something useful." At the entrance, the door was closed. I rang the bell, and the attendant came out. He had a little dog with him and, as he told me, he had to keep it closed because she’s so playful that she would run out to play with everyone.
I took a walk around the store (more like a warehouse) - I really didn’t need anything - and she followed me, played with my shoe laces, wanted pets and cuddles, it was a nice moment.
The result: I left with 3 SSDs, two access points, three POE power supplies, and other small things. None of this was really necessary (I’ll use everything, of course, but it wasn’t needed).
I think they’ve discovered a new upselling technique 😆
