The premise
Here’s the bit.
Bryce Shivers and Lisa Eversman pop up at a driver’s window to introduce Instant Garbage, their warehouse business selling chargers that barely work, cases that fit no phone and headphones that hurt to wear. They suggest buyers stash the junk in a neglected drawer and explain, with a colorful chart, that their low price is calibrated so nobody bothers to make a return trip. After checking on shipments and sending a warehouse employee on break, Bryce tries one of their own iPad chargers and watches his tablet overheat.

Are you really going to drive all the way back to that mall kiosk to demand your money back?
