Wait did you just admit that you let a cell phone salesman make your buying decision for you? You do realize that cell phone salesmen are even worse than car salesman and realtors right? Be very careful when buying cars and houses man you might want to bring an adult with you...
Seriously though my phone rocks they tried to talk me out of buying it as well however they got the full Kilgore experience when they did. They tried to sell me bull**** accessories, warranties, plans, etc. It was painful FOR THEM and I made them regret it.
Also I like having a different phone than most because I am not a ditto head or a fan boy.
I suggest you read Confessions of a Car Salesman and google mattress salesman selling techniques to understand how and why you got played in the cell phone store. You are literally the billionth person to get played in the cell phone store so do not feel too bad bro.
Bro, explain to me the logic behind a salesperson talking me out of buying the phone that cost more money? Especially since they make commission...seems to me he would have actually tried to sell me that phone if it were so awesome, especially since he would have made more money off that sale than from what I ended up buying (which he had zero input in anyway since I knew what I was buying before I even went to the store). Let me give you a brief rundown on how this sale went down:
Salesman guy "Hey welcome to the phone store how can I help ya?"
Me "My mother has thr older version of this POS Lumia and wants the newer version, but I'd just assume stomp this one into the floor than buy her a newer version of this POS" (literally almost word for word what I told the guy, but it's been since before Christmas so I don't remember word for word"
Salesman guy "Man, I wouldn't sell you that phone if you wanted it. We have a box in the back room full of them. They're one of the most expensive phones in here and they get returned more than any other phone we sell and everyone complains that they are ghay and make your balls shrivel up and cause you to grow man tits"
Me "Yeah, I haven't read up on this new model because there's no way in hell I would buy another god forsaken POS Windows phone after the mind melting frustration I've dealt with in owning the older model, and it seems to me that only douchebags like this phone anyway"
There was no "hey pal let me show you this super duper phone over here" crap, no "hey let me sell you this POS Windows phone and all these homo accessories for it" like you went through. I knew I wasn't buying that POS phone before I even stepped foot into the building. In fact, the guy wouldn't even have known I knew the phone existed if not for my mother having owned the previous version and me bringing up that she wanted to try the newer version because the old one was a giant turd.
