Credit *sigh*

Does anyone else here have to run credit checks on people? Everytime someone comes back with a 700$ deposit to get a phone,they start yelling like I messed up thier credit!Sheesh!Gimme a break! Sorry,had to get that off my chest.
When I used to work retail, I did it all the time - the best ever was the time I ran credit for a guy, and he came up with the infamous $1K-go-away-we-don't-want-you Verizon deposit, and he freaked out, raving about how it was a racist conspiracy among all the cellular providers and every company wanted to charge him an outrageous deposit...
I truly wanted to crawl away and die. Then I switched to doing business accounts, and that's a whole other story.
Occasionally, I end up suggesting people join a credit union and apply for credit card through the credit union. Just a suggestion!
