What's the worst possible Phone/Customer Pair-up you've seen?
Doesn't have to bee your customer or even seen in your store, but just the worst pairing of user and device you've ever seen.
A few months back I was working about 30 minutes west of St. Louis. Slackjawed Willy, who looked like he had just come bumbling in from Slingblade or The Hills Have Eyes, walks straight towards me and shove his dirty Iphone right in my face. Let me explain this customer in detail from head to toe. Big steel toed(possibly Sh it covered) boots... no socks, a pair of bib overalls--that's it. I suppose he had just did the real owner of the phone in and need help figuring out what exactly this mysterious device was. I'll never truely be able to tell you because his accent was that of someone who has had their throa...

REALLY PREPPY GIRL WITH DIAMOND/PEARL JEWELRY " LIKE OKAY WHATEVER GIRLFRIEND" vocabulary, daddy's money paid for her bmw...... and has.... tada!!!!!!!!!! NOKIA DINOSAur phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
It was probably temporary cause she dropped her normal phone while bathing in expensive champaign.
...
or the infamous " i dropped it in a cup of liquour" in her case CRYSTALE
...
What I like is when people roll over it with their car. Why? Because it absolutely befuddles me how this is possible. I guess if it falls out when you're getting into it. But the tire is only so wide...
...
haha i got you beat this girl comes in still in her lifeguarding uniform and her phone magically " quit working" i take out the battery and the indicator is bright red and i ask if its been dropped in water and she says no never... THERES STILL WATER IN THE PHONE AND YOU ARE IN A LIFEGUARD UNIFORM BUT IT HASNT BEEN IN WATER?? ..... my iq is not 10.. is yours? lol didnt say that but thats what i wanted to say
...
Yeah when they lie I show them the red mark. Not like I care we don't handle insurance claims anyway.

Oh! I tested this theory with a Samsung Sync. Ran it over 5 times with a packed full Chevy Beretta. Tried it open, closed, whatever. All I got were scratches. The battery even stayed in the phone and the screens were fine.
...
man, i slept on my SYNC accidentally and busted the screen the first week... and i snooze on a mattress, instead of gravel or concrete. i also weigh somewhat less than a Beretta. 🤨

The guy was already a prepaid customer...drove a little Ford Ranger truck w/ all sorts of sh*t in the back and tied to the roof.....would tell me he was a self taught lawyer and doctor.....couldn't finish a sentence without jumping to something else..... My stupid owner told him we'd waive the activation fee if he switched to postpaid....so he did. He started praying, thanking God for leading him to me to get the phone. He wasn't all there. Him being paired w/ a phone period was a bad idea.

Actually, it's called meth.
I had a similar customer come in one day and talk with a female co-worker of mine. He was wacked out on something; I still bet meth. anyway...he starts talking about Jesus and being born again after just getting out of jail. he was wanting a pre-paid service but my co-worker managed to get the guy to run his credit. Of course this recently released from jail druggy has a $0 deposit because his previous sentence was longer than 10 years. (officially assault on an officer and posession of a controlled substance - he claimed...) Long story short the crack head gets contract...now stalks my coworker.
Back to the thread...crack head on a phone that works...just doesn't fit...crack heads don't need phones...thei...

sold a 7 year old a HTC touch... They actually were smarter than the parent... I support them promoting the mental developement of their child...and the increase in my paycheck..

I love her but...
My mother and an iPhone.
I don't know WHY she picked that phone but she's never going to understand all those features.

Old people and any PDA. They're simply hopeless. I guess it helps to talk LOUDLY into a more expensive phone?
Ditsy girls and anything with a touchscreen that uses a stylus. Or as they would word it, "that stick thingy."
And 9 year olds with a tilt?! Come on now, what is wrong with parents.

I have one custie who is the owner of one of the car dealerships right near my store, the man came in and purchased a motorola w315 for himself. the whole phone to person placement didnt make sense to me. one of the few people who walks through my door that a PDA makes sense for, or atleast a higher end phone that has a little status to it even if its just for show to his customers and he walks out with the cheapest phone possible.

Many people who have money have it because they don't spend it.
Also, if he was old, he probably still has a real address book or a Rolodex. If he HAS put his address book in a computer, it's probably just typed as a text document instead of using a nice program like Outlook.

I fully agree with saving for a rainy day & retirement; however, what good is making money if you do not spend it from time to time? I have a savings account, a 401k, blah blah blah but I'm not afraid to "oh yes please, I'll take one."

Hmm... my Dad & a Nokia 6133... to make him even MORE confused, I introduced him to my old 512Mb Micro SD card... him with that phone reminds me of a monkey tryin to f*ck a football!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣
