I have a question for the class...
What are your thoughts on dating a customer?
I suppose I should give you some background...Customer came into my store a week ago and activated with me. Had a TON of issues with porting in his number, and over the course of the last week he's spent 8-10 hours in my store while I've been on the phone and such working his issue, so we've had plenty of time to chat. Similar interests, yadda yadda yadda...
Well, since I had to text him updates to his situation, we started chatting, and he's invited me out for a drink on Saturday. The question is, do I accept? This situation has never really happened with me, and I'm not quite sure how to approach it...any thoughts guys? Your help would be greatly appreciated! 😁

...
🤣 Well if it's my discounts he's after, then he's out of luck. My Advantage Club is already full! 🤣
I'm just mostly worried about the potential uncomfortableness factor if it doesn't go well, you know?
Oh, and I suck and being a flirt...I'm completely oblivious, so this whole thing has kinda blindsided me!

Look at it like this, worst case scenario: You lose 1 customer.
It's worth a shot.

Are you a grown woman? do you have any rules at the store about dating custies? you can't look for someone you just *bump* into them so I say you grown you do what you want when you want !!!!! simple
...
Yeah, there's nothing really barring it from me, per say, but I'm worried about it making my job uncomfortable. I'm mostly wondering if anyone else has had good/bad experiences with the whole thing...
And, like I said before, I'm a crappy flirt. I feel like I revert to 15 years old any time a guy looks my way 🤣 🤣 🤣

Yeah! ...and besides he's the one who asked you out for a drink. Make your customer(s) come first. That's one of the things Sprint takes pride in, making customer come first! 😉
...
Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what Sprint had in mind... 🤣
Hell, maybe it'll get around that I date the clientelle and I'll start getting more sales 😎
Totally kidding, BTW.

🤣 It's fine, it definitely doesn't bother me all that much, and I've come to terms with the fact that if I ever want to do anything online, I'll just have to get used to it! Besides, we work in the industry of txtspk, rite? 🤣

I'd say to some extent it's OK. But if someone is trying to be serious with me using slang, with a bunch of glaring grammatical errors... I wouldn't take that person seriously and would probably lose my respect for them. I'm not exceptionally good at writing and speaking, but at least I try!
You can tell if someone put effort into something they wrote or presented, and that's what counts.
There's a button on Phone Scoop called "Check S...

🤣 Wouldn't it be weird if I was like that? 🤣

😁 you are so silly 😁 someone tell me hows the weather where you are her sunny for once it's sunny 😳

Sure go for it! Just beware. If you start seeing each other and the guy's phone breaks or goes haywire he'll want you to fix it and you will be like "I'm sorry but you didnt buy insurance and there is nothing i can do". And he will be like "aww wtf you b%tch, I had sex with you and you can't even fix my phone!"
Idk had something happen to me like that and it got annoying how pissed she got, when I couldn't give her a FREE brand new phone 2 months later. WOW imagine that right??
btw I was not saying that you are or ever were a b%tch. I am sure you are a very nice professional woman.

Ha ha. That's funny. 😎

🤣 Genrally, I don't consider myself a b!tch, but we all have our tendencies. I must be one hell of a sales person, though, 'cause he bought the insurance!
"No, sweetie, I can't get you a free phone just because you lost yours, but look! If I wave my magic wand, you can get one for only $50!" 🤣

Take it or leave it but here is my advice, sure its ok to date the guy but you should make it clear from the get go that regarding any issues with his cellphone he should go to a different store when possible to keep it professional.
Basically business is business and pleasure is pleasure, its not usualy a good idea to mix the two when your in the sales industry.
