Yes, that's very true.

I remember walking into a store to buy some SIMMs and saw the salesdroids handling the SIMMs
with their greasy, sweaty, bare hands.  Of course, contacts were dirty, too.  When I pointed
it out to them, they got very defensive, claiming that it's ok and what the schoold taught me
was all B.S., etc...  I quickly escaped from the store.

When you're buying chips, make sure that these idiot salesdroids are handling them properly.
