Sometimes, the elderly folks make this job worth it.

An old man just came and upgraded his old-old-old-old phone for a new one.

I showed him some phones, and he was astounded at all they could do. He kept saying, "This is just like a computer!"

Eventually, he settled on a Motorola RAZR, because it "looked like something from one of those sci-fi movies".

He has used a total of 4 minutes on his phone in the past 2 years. Two of those calls he didn't even mean to make.

He was as happy as I had ever seen an old man, and walked away like a kid who just was given the keys to a candy store.

He was happily snapping away pictures as he left.

As it turns out, I probably just made an 80 year-old man's month about 100 times better, because he got a new toy.

This job ain't so bad.

I give the customers what they like best in their hands.

It may not have the features they need, but they're happier for it.
