Shop Talk

according to page 91 of the user guide to the new pantech px-500 wireless aircard the company states:

"This product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause cancer.

This product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm"

what the hell is wrong with people have they lost the sense of the word COMMON CURTSEY. when people come into the store talking on their phones and talking at me at the same time it totally pisses me off. i want to get on my cell phone and start talking and show them exactly how rude it is.

How is everyone?

Can anyone please tell me any pros and cons between Corporate and localy owned dealers.

i did 32 new acts and 12 upgrades....how about you guys?



dont lie!

"What does it do?"

Do people seriously expect us to know every single detail about every single phone we sell. I for the life of my have no idea what pc sync means on sanyo phones. I have never tried it. My current phone has a micro sD card and I've played with that. But seriously people, I can't possibly know everything and it's no reason to get all mad because I can't figure out what it is. The manufacturers don't give us lessons specifically on each model and how to do everything. If it's not in the owners manual I won't be able to help you. 👿

Cyberpsionic best summed up this forum member's General thread postin. If I had a dollar for every customer like custome who came into my store, I'd be retired already and living the good life South of the Border.

That continuous BlueTooth use causes ear cancer? I just had a tweenybopper (someone between 11 and 15 a with more money and time than sense) tell me that there's somebody in our local hospital dying of ear cancer because she used her bluetooth too much! I asked her how long ago this happened, because BT's have only been readily available for a couple of years. She told me that she's had ear cancer for years because of bt usage. I'm still giggling about that.

This lady comes in the store she says that she got a flier in the mail saying that she was eligible for an upgrade.she said it was also a buy one get one free after the rebate. of course she didn't bring it with her. i checked her account and only her line was eligible for the upgrade. so i explained that she was not eligible for the buy on get one free but she was eligible for an upgrade on just one phone. she wanted to argue with me about the other line and the free phone so i had to break it down to her.... even though you didn't bring the flier in Ive seen about 100 of those flyers. the flier states with two qualifying upgrades or a new activation you can get the buy one get one free. you only have one qualifying line for an upgrade. sh...

Ya thats me. I've done nothing but pop batteries out and in of old peoples phones. So simple, yet so funny when they think you did something special to fix their phone. Gotta love sundays! 😎

I don't work there anymore so I don't have anything to lose. You can log into the AD by using training codes and voila! L'internet pour vous!

Okay, I work for the big orange blob (Soon to be the big blue sphere) and our company uses sim cards. About once every single week, we have someone come in whose sim card is no longer accessibile. How does this happen? They go deep in the phones settings, set a password for the sim, and then enter it wrong several times in a row. I've tried to do this on several of our phones, and it's not something you can accidently do. So when people come to us needing a new sim card, we have to charge them. This usually seems to make them really angry and they usually try and throw something at my head if there is anything in reach. So why is it after they pay for their new sim card, I set everything up and switch out the old one, and I tell them they sh...

Would you rather be slightly hungover and/or tired at work and have to deal with angry, middle aged, cat-loving, its my day off time to make everyone's day who is working a LIVING HELL customer?

Or

Would you rather be slightly hungover and/or tired at work and have to deal with old, senile, never seen a computer that doesn't take up a whole room, i was around when electricity was invented customer?

hmm.. looks like i don't have a choice sounds like every saturday..

Ok, so are store is next to a subway. RIGHT next to a subway (same address). and it always smells amazing in the store. No it doesnt smell like pizza silly customer, it is BREAD. anyway, we pretty much give half of our wages to the place (unwillingly, and yes i know subway isnt very 'quality') but thats life. yesterday my manager went into subway to refill his cup. for the first time ever, the refill was REFUSED, mind you after he bought a footlong combo. my manager then took it upon himself to fill his cup halfway and slam it on the ground covering many people with dr. pepper and ice, yes he does have an anger problem. a yelling match then ensued between my manager and the 4 foot tall mexican subway manager (no hablo english!). we got to he...

I just got a call from an old lady. She was mad at me (an agent who never sold her phones in the first place) because she hasn't been able to use her phone for the last 13 or 14 months. She wants her line cancelled, but she's still under contract.

She lives in a cabin in the middle of nowhere and doesn't get reception in her kitchen. Most of her area does have service (VZW is the only carrier to have anything out that way). It just doesn't get that far back into the woods. She claims we're not living up to our end of the contract and she can get out of it because we won't put a tower up to get "bars" in her house. She bought a crappy phone. The phone is just as much to blame

The battery went dead because she always left it on ...

Nothing pisses me off more than being in the middle of the mall when school lets out. The teenage kids all come up and pick up and play with the dummy phones. I hear "how much is that on prepay" about five hundred times every evening. Another thing I dont understand is the girl jeans thing, maybe it is just in Ohio but when did it become cool to wear girls' jeans. As I said earlier, we are in the middle of the mall so everyone walking around upstairs can see downstairs to the first floor. Which brings me to another thing, why do they insist upon yelling up/down to their friends that are on the other level. Just go freaking talk to them. End of rant.

SO its all guys workin today so we real relaxed and glad that there is not any girls workin (cuz they never stop talkin on their phones and goin everywhere together) so we keep it real masculine....we dont shut the door when we hit the bathroom...so i was helpin a customer do an esn change and all of a sudden i hear a scream.... i look over and find out that one of my co workers left the door open to the back and there is my manager sittin on the john pants at ankles for the whole store to see......every customer in the store was laughin their ass off!! LOL and the manager was like. 🤭 🤭 👀 🤭

There is nothing that can ruin my day right now 🤣 🤣

i loathe customers who come into the store to pay their bill and when you ask them their cell phone number they stare at you like a deer caught in the headlights for 5 minutes and then say "i dont know, i never call myself." then laugh. um, ive known my phone number since i was 5 years old. its a wonder these people are able to dress themselves and go out into the big scary world.

you can blow me. I hate the way you screw up rebates and make me deal with it. 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿
