MetroPCS

I went into the store to get a nano sim card. The woman at the desk refused to sell me one. She claimed that they are not allowed to sell them, unless the phone is activated with them.
I called MetroPCS corporate office (214−265−2550). They said that the woman must have misunderstood me, because that is not corporate policy. She said that authorized dealers may have a different policy, but since this was a corporate store, they should follow corporate policy.
She didn’t misunderstand me. An aura of stupidity and ‘don’t give a damn’ surrounded her. Maybe it is the stinky air freshener the store uses. Maybe it is something else. The aura was there, though.
It makes absolutely no sense to refuse to sell a sim card to someone who obviously plans to use your service. Did she think I was going to get the card and activate with Alexander Graham Bell’s Mobile Talking Box Service?
I don’t really care one way or the other. Plenty of other companies are willing to sell me a sim card for my unlocked phone. Companies that actually want to sell phone service and not lies.
