What I WISH I COULD SAY
--It's $xxx.xx

cust- yea so? im not over my spending limit!

cust- @#$%$^@%^#$(( Ya know the response)

Society would be such a better place if everyone was required to sell cell phones for a year.
Truer words have never been spoken.

As for sales and wireless. I hate it when I am in the middle of and some on rushes to the counter mid sale and demands I re up is pay as you go phone.
There is a big sign behind my counter that reads "Pay As You Go Customers are Subject to extended wait times during peak hours."
Yet people still want there dam pre paid phones filled. The quick'e mart across the street sells re fills and they under cut me by alot yet people keep comeing into my store lol.
