in my experiences, the sales people generally just try to tell people what they want to hear, knowing that the majority of people won't have done their research.

it is refreshing to know i'm not alone in questioning the hiring practices of cell phone shops... i feel like i could probably do a better job of some of the hires.

hit the nail on the head
