So you DON'T want help.....

Had a customer come in this morning wanting to know the lowest cost to hook up a phone.

Me: "The cheapest out the door we can do is $19.99, our least expensive prepaid phone."

Cust: "Idiot, I didn't say I wanted prepaid."

Nope, you asked least expensive OTD cost. You now no longer get service in my store. Congrats.

sprint?

our customers have been calling all year long about data charges from pic mail. so they tell us today that if you are on the everything messaging plan of any type that you can send pic mail but if you receive it that you will be charged. thats the biggest load of crap i have ever heard. what the hell is up with sprint. thats a bad hustle and there gonna lose alot of customers for that.

Weiner Outage

Just had a customer walk in.
I was looking at my monitor as he walked to the desk just finishing up a form. When I turned to say ask him if he needed help, i realized something was quite unusual. His weiner was out of his fly just a floppin in the breeze. I immediatley told him the error of his ways. He then proceeded to make a wooping noise, run out the door, across the street and I saw him go into the Krispy Cream across the street. LOL
Highlight of my life i do believe 🤤

chargebacks

lets say I have a phone that costs my company $100. I sell it for $0 but then make $200 in commissions. customer cancels service within 6 months and I get a chargeback $300 because they didnt return the phone.

my company is pulling this crap on me and i think its bullshit.

New rule-

If you come in 20 minutes before close, I will not help you. I will not speak with you. I will not answer your inane questions or entertain your stupid ideas about setting up family plans/terminating lines/switching carriers. I will hate you.

customer asks a question

So you answer it. Then they ask you the same question and get the same answer. Then they say they want a solution and ask the same question and get the same answer. Comprehension is the word of the day.

btw the question was: What phone do you recommend with a full keyboard for texting, bluetooth, and good reception?

😳

Help! Sprint to Home/office

I am in desperate need of an answer, well a few answers. First, I know that Sprint to Home/Office is $5/month, but is that per line or per family plan? I am asking in regard to a 7 line deal, with two family plans and all phones need to have the feature added on to call an office number with unlimited usage. Please help!
