I love T-Mobile. Had the service for over 15 years but their damn stores are filled with trashy people. Except me of course.

If the whole "no tax refund" thing keeps up, this problem should clear out

Is it the groups of customers slobbing around trying to figure how how they can finance their next phone for low monthly payments since they can’t afford to buy it outright?

If I can spread out the same price over 24 months, I'm always going to do that.

That's because they are.

Employee: Hey man, do you have a cousin or friend that's looking for a new phone? When you buy this phone, you get one for free!
Me: So I get a another phone, no strings attached?
Employee: Yeah!
Me: But I don't want to add a new line to my plan so...

You know that you have showed up in the mega trash hour when you are in there when the mid-30s couple has to drag Grandma all the way up there to sign some documents so they can get some new phones.

Well they don't charge interest so there's no reason to buy it upfront.

when you buy this phone you get a free tablet (all you have to do is sign a 8 year $50 a month contract for the service for it)

What is it with the OTs obsession with calling everything trashy?

I don't know about trashy, but I bought a Note 9 for work the other day and the guy that sold it to me told me they make 20% commission from everything they sell. Seemed high, but why would he lie?

Me either. The poors have smartphones. They can't pay their bill from the app like everyone else?
