Can I use your phone?
Customer in his mid to late 60's walks up...
Cust: I lost my phone.
Me: Oh no!! Do you have insurance?
Cust: I'm not sure. Can I use your phone to call my daughter quick?
Me: *thinking that he's calling to get account info of some sort* Sure!
The customer then makes a call... No answer.. Pulls a piece of paper out of his pock, asks me to dial this number for him then stands at my kiosk talking to someone about buying a car from them. The call lasted about 5 minutes. When he hung up, I asked if he wanted to look at phones. He said "No thanks!"

That gentleman played you like a fiddle. I hope he wasnt an ass when he said no thanks.. I noticed you added an "!" I hope he didnt smile afterwards. I would have kicked him in thne back of the head.

So I close at 9:30. At 9:27 the guy comes running down the mall.
Him: What's your best phone per month?
Me: .....?
Him: For like 300 minutes?
Me: oh, our plans... (I fill him in)
Him: Okay, can you run me through?
Me: ...?
Him: See, I have Sprint, but they said if I want a new phone it's $160 so I want another company.
Me: I just need your license
Him: Huh? I don't got one.
Me: Then I can't help you
after much hassle, I just wanna go home and don't have a good feeling he'll be approved, so I run it without the ID.. what do you think????
$800 deposit of course!!!!!!!!!!
