Shop Talk
"charge my phone while i shop"
we usually do it as a courtesy but i really get tired of people who take advantage.
our wall is FULL of chargers of all shapes and sizes, and you're too cheap to buy a twenty dollar charger? if you're at the point where your phone is dead you seriously need to get your own charger.
we had one chick who left hers on the charger for three hours, would come in to reply to texts and calls, then leave to do more shopping.
another chick came in, plugged in her phone, then stayed there for 45 minutes making call after call after call. she was talking loudly, distracting my customers, and making it difficult for me to talk to my customers.
sorry, just needed to vent....
I always tell them I can't be liable for their equipment. Works pretty well.
Just tell them that they cannot leave their phones with you to charge because you cannot be responsible for the phone. Insurance reasons. They are usually cool with that. It is super annoying though. I cannot stand it!
that is why you DON'T LET RETARDS USE YOUR COMPANY'S EQUIPTMENT if they aren't buying anything from you!!!!
....if someone came into my store and asked to use one our chargers, i'd tell them, "yeah if you buy one and plug it into your own car" ... there is a big difference between being nice and being stepped all over. and i'm not the kind of person to let people walk all over me. we are sales people, not a carpet.
....so i think the one to blame for your frustration and confusion in this instance is yourself... sad but true.
i was the one who sold him the prepaid phone (no contract)that he has and i got his paperwork for it and it said nothing about chargeing or free chargers.
he said he was never gonna come back because i called his bluff. he said i should of listen to him instead of trying to prove him wrong and that was bad cust service.

😳 SCG Where in the heck do you live???? I want to make sure I never visit. It seems like you have all type of crazies on a daily basis. I mean ranging from perverted old men to crap like this. Eh I've got 5 lbs. of C4 let's blow wp your entire shopping center! 😉
i live in the foothills of Northern Cali, about an hour outside of Sacramento.
seems like all the customers i get are cheap/old/hicks/creeps or con artists. i do have some good customers though hopefully i will get the chance to post about some NICE customers.
I do, on very rare occasions, put a phone on a charger for a customer, like if they are a regular and a good one I will while they shop. Anyone else, I usually tell them if they buy a car charger I will toss it on my wall charger while they shop, and make them sign a slip saying I am not liable for the phone.

at a mall I once did time in there was a 3.00/hour code in the computers to charge a battery. it "came" with a diagnostic (checking the kepad to make sure it worked/powered on and off to justify it. nice deturant, of if they realy wanted it, it was an idiot tax.
OOOHHHHHH i should have my boss put that in.... 😁
