This is why your T-Mobile/Verizon/AT&T/Sprint store doesn’t have live units on the showroom floor [VIDEO]
It’s tough out there for a T-Mobile sales person. Ever wondered why — depending on your area — your local T-Mobile/Verizon/Sprint/AT&T retail store may not feature live display units of the latest smartphones to play around with? Well, it might have something to do with stop n’ robs like what occurred at a T-Mobile retail store in Seattle, WA.
It was a day like any other. T-Mobile store employees helped customers, filed paperwork, dusted off store shelves… and oh, yeah — they got robbed. With the hottest smartphones on the market so easily accessible, a pair of goons just couldn’t help themselves from walking into this T-Mobile store, pushing down an employee then, using wire cutters to detach the devices from their security wiring, running off with a Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S2, and Samsung Galaxy S3.
Believe it or not, this is actually the 3rd time a snatch n’ grab has occurred in just this store within the past 6 months. This is why we can’t have nice things. So, the next time you’re out and about shopping for the next big thing, don’t get too upset if your local carrier store can’t afford to place any live demos on the showroom floor. If nothing else, it could be to protect employees from instances like these.
