Mindi and I just spent a few minutes in her local corporate Verizon store. We stood by listening to a sales rep telling a young lady about the iPhone 5. Did you know:

1. The screen is larger because it has more megapixels?

2. The back is made of titanium?

3. The Galaxy S III is faster than the iPhone 5?

4. The 4S and the 5 both have one gigabyte of RAM?

5. Video on the 4S in rendered in DVD quality and on the 5 in Blu-Ray quality?

I'll stop here. Now, most of you here know how shy I am and hesitant to voice an opinion, so Mindi and I left without setting the sales drone straight. You know how much I hate controversy.

I actually gave tech support on iPhone and syncing to a rep at the sprint store because I could not stand listening to him tell another customer the complete wrong advice. I mean do they train these reps that are in store?

I understand that they have to keep information on a lot of phones in their heads, but at least know the facts on your two or three best-selling phones. Who knows what felgercarb they're spouting about the S III?!

You should of stayed and given the real facts to the customer in front of knowledge-less rep. Some cell phone employees are clueless about the products they sell. The sad part is its a lot of people walking around with phones misinformed because of these workers who are just in it for a check and not educating the public like they should.

Even I wouldn't want to "call out" an employee in public. I'd consider it inconsiderate.

You make a good point, but it's also very inconsiderate towards customers that know nothing about technology and trusts them and their advice. If you gonna do a job do it right or don't do it at all.
