I think that customers should take an IQ test in order to be able to get a cell phone? Any experience that contributes to my theory?

Uh! You are so right! Good Idea!!! I have had some customers that could really use an IQ test first, before purchasing the phone. Like which button turns on the phone 🙄 and which one turns it off 😳 The customers plan is 49.99 a month and they ask, WHY AM I BEING CHARGED 49.99 per month. 😲 🙄

When a really stupid customer walks into our store I usually tell them they need to see a phone tech and have their phone bearings checked or their screen fluid needs to be changed.

I like when a customer starts to complain about the upgrade price of a phone, and then say, "Well... you could buy the phone at retail, which runs (some ridiculous amount)."


The customer usually say the phones dont cost that much, lol its great to see their expression. 😳

My favorite is...

"I have insurance.. why do I need to pay a deductible?"

"It is insurance sir/mam, just like the insurance on your car, your home, etc"

"How retarded! I'm calling the Better Buisness Bureau and filing a complaint at the scam you are running!"

*thought to self* "Go right ahead. I wish I could hear them laugh at you for filing a complaint that an insurance company dared charge you a deductible."

I think one of the best things that happens when a customer walks in is when they say, "Umm I/Son/Daughter/Ect lost my phone is there anything that you can do?" Well did you have insurance. "Umm No I didn't" Well then your going to have to buy a phone outright or see if you can upgrade. "Well whats the cheapest phone outright?" " $119.00"
" $119.00?! Why so much" Because your not signing a contract and that's sort of like us paying for part of the retail price. "Well thats a bunch of !@#$."

Then I wanna say, well you should have gotten F-ing insurance huh.
