Funny Sprint Story

[tiny]

It is sad when an employee doesn't know the product they sell; especially since they only have a few products to learn. I worked at Office Depot and I was expected to give intelligent information on every piece of tech and supply that we sold. At least when I didn't know, I would get someone who did.

But you don't live in America bro, things is tuff here.

It's not all rainbows and puppy dogs here in the UK either. I once got into a fairly heated argument with a 'Phones4U' employee when he tried to sell my housemate an HTC Wildfire. I'd told her specifically that the HTC Desire would be a good choice if she wasn't interested in an iPhone, and the salesman told her "the Wildfire was identical to the Desire".

When I pointed out that the Wildfire, whilst running the same OS, was a substantially worse piece of hardware which had been known to judder, crash and generally be a cheap entry point, not a quality phone, he called me an idiot and pulled out his own Wildfire to prove to me that it was 'identical'.

I pointed to the processor speed, RAM capacity and then when he still wouldn't have it used the screen size as proof. Eventually I just walked out after telling him to QUIT his day job

Edit: Meant to say, loving the premise of this thread, had about 3-4 great laughs at these stories, keep em coming

The only reason it's not all rainbows is because it's always cloudy.

I don't know anything about your puppy dog population.

I don't bother with o2, they're useless. But then again it depends which branch you go to as I've heard that Three sales is pretty useless up north. I think you have people who don't care and aren't technically savvy (like you said earlier) everywhere, just more common in some places (and in some companies/carriers) than others.
