Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

Same factory just send the units that normally wouldn’t be sellable (defects and such) but still function to the US

The massive volume of sales for North America is too big to be met by factory defects. They’d have to have entire factories making defects.

Just because all defect stock are routed to the US inventory, doesn’t mean that US inventory is made up of all defect stock.

as someone who deals with this professionally, i assure you: they are.

every samsung appliance consistently fails in one of a few ways, so much so that it’s not simply a matter of by-chance defects. they’re design flaws.

It only works if that one country is the good ol’ US of A. Lol

You say that, but my experience is different. After my Samsung washing machine failed, I took it apart and found blatant evidence of planned obsolescence. If the units elsewhere are good, then the ones in the US aren’t just the same things with defects, but rather ones with spider arms cast from an entirely different metal alloy.

Fair enough, I was just guessing at a way one country could receive only/mostly inferior products
