You stand around for hours in the chairless waiting area while the techs are "busy with other customers" until you are shifting your weight from foot to foot like an elephant tethered to the wall at the zoo. Only after you buckle and try to perch half your butt cheek on the windowsill will they call your name. I also like the folks that come in and try to get their service turned back on by paying $20.00 of a $500.00 cell bill.

I will trade you 3 goats for the car charger. Bitches! That is not how it works in this country. Thank-you-come-again! I love when the Foreign Nationals try to barter.

Despite the fact that said phone jockey has calmly explained three dozen times that the account holder must be present... And then there's the "sign-in" kiosk... Am I getting on a flight? Is this a delicatessen? I get to stand around and harrumph while the aforementioned no-credit, no-account asshole runs up to the counter screaming about "her" phone, dragging her nine whimpering sticky children around before setting them off like a nuclear annoyance bomb because she's mo impo'tent than the folks waiting in line...I'm getting ranty here... Other than those omissions...spot on, Bigbear. If it weren't for the fact that I actually need to hold a phone before I purchase it, I would rather shoot myself and others than set foot in one of these stores.
