Will always always always try and stitch you up. No matter who you are or what you spend, they will always try and fuck you over.
I’ll keep this brief. I’m due a free upgrade from my provider. I phone them, and tell them the phone I want.
“Sorry Sir, it’s out of stock. How about this one?”
“I don’t want that one.”
“But it’ll be free. The other one is chargeable.”
“How much?”
“£129.99″
“But that’s ridiculous. If I go online, select the exact same tariff I’m on now, you’ll let me have it for £29.99.”
“We might be able to do you a deal.”
“OK, do me a deal.”
“I can’t Sir, because the phone is out of stock. You see there was a problem with the software, so there’s been a delay.”
“But {alternative provider} have it in stock. I could have one tomorrow.”
“We don’t have it in stock.”
“When will it be back in stock?”
“About 14-28 days.”
“So you’re saying you can’t do anything now because it’s not in stock.”
“Yes sir.”
“OK, I’d like to cancel my contract.”
“OH, OK, um, sir, let me see, er um.. {blah blah waffle blah waffle blah}… I do have some stock of the phone, I’ll do it for £29.99 and it’ll be with you in a week. How’s that?”
“Fine by me.”
