Topknots

So what is it with dead fashion trends coming back?
Bellbottoms died in like the 80's, and came back in the 90's.
Capris died in the 70's and came back in like '02.
"popped collars" died with Dracula, and now are back.
I kid you not, I've seen 3 or 4 'gangstas' today with topknots... didn't that die with samurais in fuedal japan? They're like "Bling bling most honorable nigga-san" LOL 🤣

Steph's Story

So... i realize that some people on here are bored. For this, I will start a story to entertain you all... I will tell you all about crazy pete. Crazy Pete is a name we made up at this store for this guy, who believe it or not, is crazy. This man has several quirks. For one, though we have 2 doors, he will only enter and exit through one of them. There was once he started to go out the other door, and he let out the most gut-wrenching scream, and started making clicks and beeps. He fell down and crawled out the other door. I know that more than half of you are like "BS! Nobody is that stupid/crazy" But I will tell you this... come work for one day in my store. You will feel like you are on acid or something just from the sheer craziness of t...

Sales Grubbing

I don't know if this was just an agent grubbing for a sale and not bothering to explain things well to the customer or the customer being a complete idiot. I'm thinking it's a combination of the two.

She wants to add what she thinks is going to be her third line.

She's only approved for 3 lines. The Account Review Team says she's already got 3 lines. Hmm.

We look back to the 20th of this month, yes, she added a line, a T309. Well turns out she thought we'd just messed up and sent her an extra SIM card for her replacement for a phone she destroyed with no insurance.

So she has three SIMS and two phones because the agent who sent her the third line didn't bother to make sure she wanted a new LINE and not a handset upgrade and s...

Why is it that

people insist on continuing talking (especially complaining) as they turn and walk away? Like, if the b!tch and moan a little more I'll call them back over and say "Oh, I really can help...I was just joking, funny haha." It's annoying. Anyways, I'm out for the night. Deuce.

I want my ETFs paid!

My coworker had an a customer who wanted to port her number over from Verizon to T-Mobile. Well, she failed to let him know that she wasn't out of contract. Today she calls the store demanding that T-Mobile pay the early termination fee. WTF? I explained that because she wanted to keep her number and go with another company, she cancelled her previous account. She sweared up and down that my coworker made a mistake and cancelled. Because she didn't want to cancel Verizon until a next month. (Then why didn't you wait until then? 😕 ) I nicely told her that my coworker was handling it and wished her a nice day. My T- Mobile rep already told me that he was pretty sure they would not be paying the fee. That's why whenever I port over I have them...

T Mobile Commersial

Is that little B1tch the most annoying thing in the world or what?




and that little girl testing minutes is too.



This guy comes asking me a ton of questions all hyped up on the phones...
Then at the drop of a dime, starts raving T-Mob how he would never leave, well what the fudge are you doing here then?

Really seemed like an easy sale

Six so far today

I've had six people (freaking idiots) asking about the STUPID Sidekick 3 today. I hate that bloody freaking device and it's not even out yet. Hate It. More than the RAZR.

And it's a bunch of those chuckleheads who haven't got a credit card and probably haven't got any credit because they probably also don't have a job.

Hate the Sidekick 3.

What kind of

idiot puts his Blackberry on top of his truck? They're not insured. That's a BAD idea. Even if they were insured, that's a terrible idea. Sucks for him. But, he should have known, he has a history of phones not lasting long with him. i.e. phone in the lake a few months ago, Blackberry on the truck. Some people.

This job is pushing me close to suicide

I haven't had a customer come in in close to 2 hours now and the last one that did just wanted to yell at me because there bill was too high. Its not my fault that you got on the web and racked up $80 in charges I offered a PCS vision plan to you a month ago and warned you about web charges so why would you come back in complaining about them. on a side note if I do commit suicide I will make sure to take her with me

New cell phone to prevent drunk dialing (Thought you all might enjoy this)

June 28, 2006 6:14 AM PDT

There just might be no other gadget that has transformed the party scene quite as much as the cell phone. Address books and text-messaging can beef up the attendance of a slow night within minutes. Camera and video features have proven to quite a few of us that no one is safe from having their embarrassing acts--from women dancing on tables to men being caught with cosmopolitans or Smirnoff Ices in hand--captured on digital video.

But the Korean cell phone manufacturer LG Electronics, according to ABC News, has gone a step further with the party gimmicks. LG's LP4100 brand, to be released in the U.S. later this year, not only takes pictures of your friends' bar tricks, it can also ward off two of a wild Saturd...

they just were not thinking

I work in an outdoor mall which is not that bad of an idea at first look. I live in Florida which is of course the sunshine state but everybody who lives here knows that in the summer it rains every afternoon so what were they thinking building a mall that is entirely outside and worse then that what was I thinking applying here at the beginning of the summer god I am just as stupid as them 😳 your thoughts?

?????My Fault????

I just had a customer yell at me because she was on her home computer trying to download on Jamster.com to her phone and kept getting page cannot be displayed and it's my fault. How? Because she is trying to access a web page from another company for ringtones for her Cingular phone so we need to make sure their sites work. Crazy people
