As stated above, earlier in the week I picked up my new tablet with 90 minutes to spare before the store closed. (I'm typing on it now!) The young lady who ordered it for me was not there. There was another young woman and a young guy who was already helping another gentleman.
Because of Covid, the door was kept locked and they were only letting one customer per sales rep in at a time. The girl let me in and after I explained what I wanted, she went in the back and retrieved my order. She walked over to the other salesman and gave it to him. Maybe she didn't know much about the Android system and felt safer with him helping me...I don't really know but then, for some reason, that was never explained to me, she grabbed her personal belongings and left the store.
Anyway, because the guy was already helping a customer and knowing I was next in line, I went outside to sit on my bike in front of the store and vaped as I watched them through the glass doors. 20 minutes later, he let the customer out and invited me back in.
He was a good looking black kid, in his mid 20's, with braided hair and dressed every bit the salesman. He unboxed the tablet while I explained that I bought it as a replacement for my old one and wanted everything, including music and photos, transferred from my old Tab S2 to the Tab S7. He said, "No problem" and began setting it up while complimenting me on my choice of electronics. After a few minutes, he showed me a message on the tablet that said the data transfer would be completed in an hour (right about closing time).
Having gone to the store straight from work, I was getting hungry and the motorcycle ride to the store had me thirsty. Luckily, there was a Moe's Southwest Grill resturaunt right next door, so I told him I was going over there to eat while I waited. I asked him if he wanted anything over there and then I left. I was done eating in 30 minutes and went back to sit on my bike, vape and wait.
For the next 20 minutes or so, I watched him through the glass as he looked down and fiddled with both tablets on his desk. While I'll never know for sure what exactly he was doing, he was in the perfect senario to go through my photos and videos...he was in the store alone with complete access to the unlocked files on my tablet while I was locked outside. None of my photos are hidden or passworded, so I have little doubt that saw them. I don't think he went as far as Dae did 2 years ago, but I'm sure he saw them all.
When the kid saw me sitting there watching him through the glass, he carefully packed up my tablets and paperwork, brought them out to me and told me I was all set. I asked him about my music and photos and he told me they were all still on my old tablet and had all transferred to the new one as well. I gave him the elbow bump and thanked him before packing everything away on the bike and firing it up.
Like I said, I'll never know for certain, but I'm pretty sure he saw it all!
