I'm starting to think that I could poop on the floor, put a price tag on it, and someone would steal it

All new service! Can I get data for that pile? How well does it surf the web? Does it have good call quality? Is it loud?

6 months from now, will it still be a solid pile of s**t, or will I need to get a new one already? Can I get insurance?

You give me all that for under $50 a month, no deposit, and the pile for free, we got a deal.

You mean you never had anyone try and activate a dummy phone?? It happened to me maybe 3 or 4 times and the look they get when you tell them it's a fake phone just doesn't get old. 👀 🤭

How these people go through life is beyond me.

Good times! I was filling in at a mall location, and someone tried to run off with all three of the dummy smart phones... He didn't get far, was arrested, and charged with attempted grand larceny of over $1500, so it was a felony! It was great! I laughed the rest of the day over that one, chuckle, and still am!

Had an idiot steal a fake Bluetooth headset that we had on display once. He came back the same day saying he just bought it at our store and it didn't power on. He wanted it swapped out or wanted a refund. Of course he had no receipt but insisted we could just take his word for it. We laughed at him and took it back. When we mentioned cops he just ran.

Myfavorite part of stealing fake phones is when some dumba$$ brings one into the store to activate.

Thats because people are idiots and they think the fake phones are real.

Customer: Can you activate this phone for me.

Me: ROFL 🤣

Customer: My Buddy sold me this phone. He said he found it.

Me: He doesn't sound like a buddy to me. Give it to your GI Joe doll to use.

Put a sign that says "limited availability" and you'll never have to worry about cleaning it up.

Because they are dumb and ignorant. Even to steal a live demo is stupid. Worse even considering we can track it. Some people just have no common sense. Dummies!

I have them stolen from my store in the mall all the time! the best is the stupid little punk kids that think that they are real and they ask you if they can have one and im always like why you know thats not real right.

they always respond" oh ill just put my sim card and battery in there and it will work!!!"

im like really you think its gonna work seriously how much paint have you eating to get that dumb!!!

the best was one of those kids asked me that so i of course told him it was fake he said he knew a guy that could make it work. so i was like really now and how is he gonna do that when it has no working parts to it.
of course he did not believe me so i took the phone and just broke the hell out of it on the counter and showed...

Yeah seriously, I have a huge problem with that at my location. Tons of little bad ass kids hanging around find it fun to run by and snatch our non-working models... then we dont have any... and thats not cool. Even kids in high school that know they dont work... what has the world come to? I usually have to chase them off with a broom...
