Re: The Ranting Thread
I haven't ranted in a while, so here I go:
If you don't already know, I've been working at Radio Shack for over 4 years now, and it stuns me how many people think we are their cell phone carrier's customer service. I tell them that we are an authorized retailer, i.e., a third party (hey, we just sell it!), and not corporate, but they just need someone to yell at when their tween daughter texts a bajillion and five times over their limit or when their son downloads a crapload of ringtones from 50 Cent or Flav-a-Flav on their phone. Also, when anything on the carrier's end goes wrong, such as cell towers going down for maintenance, problems with their servers, and the aforementioned problems, they come in to our store to complain to us, sometimes whether or not they bought the phone at our store! They just hear that we carry Sprint, AT&T, or T-Mobile, and automatically think that we can solve all their problems! To some degree, we might be able to help them depending on the problem, but these people need to realize that they should call their carrier's customer service (for best results, call on a weekday between 8am and 5pm EST) or visit the carrier's corporate store for better help!

Hopefully, I'll have better luck on video calls with the new laptop I'm getting. Last time, Tsuki tried calling me, and crashed my dinosaur 8)
