Telephone Booth Canada bans salesmen from using Nokia N95s

So I am in love with my N95. (How could you not be?) It’s been two whole days now and I don’t know how I lived without it.

Since it’s one slight downfall is battery life, I decided to go out and buy a car charger for it.

Off I go to the mall, and to The Telephone Booth

I’ve never had a problem with them, I even remember buying a Sony Ericsson T200 (in icy blue!) from them in the past, along with numerous, numerous PAYG cards when I was just a teen, so I figured they were my best choice to pick up the charger, and they’re conveniently located.

Right so, I’m wandering around waiting for the salesmen to finish with his current customer with my N95 in my hand and he wanders over with a “oooh nice phone! I have one of those!”

My eyes widened with a “there IS hope!”

So we started chatting away about it, he has the original one, I have the N95-3, etc. etc. until salesman #2 comes over and says “What phone is that?”

Salesman #1 happily answers with a, look I’ve found a friend!, type tone “that’s the N95! you know! the other phone I have!”

and Salesman #2 says “oohhh! that’s right. That’s the one you’re not allowed to show while you’re working here.”

Oh.my.god. Are you kidding me?

My jaw almost hit the floor. I couldn’t believe it. He’s not allowed to let a customer see a phone better than the ones they’re selling.

(by the way, I didn’t even get my car charger, they were sold out!)
