Tech support staff would pass it from store to store and dump whatever nudes they&amp;#x27;d collected from customer phone repairs that week.  I don&amp;#x27;t remember how they got caught.&lt;p&gt;I had to come down on multiple tech staff at our own store for digging around in photos anytime a hot woman came in with a phone.&lt;p&gt;Rare occasions we had this one older women that would ask us to transfer photos every year to her new phone and to &amp;quot;verify personally that every photo had been moved.&amp;quot; Of course the majority of the photos would be her naked selfies or what seemed to be swinger parties. I&amp;#x27;ve got a 65yo woman in a cowboy hat only seared into my brain because I was the first tech to deal with her kink of having people look through the photos.</text></comment>
