Why do staff always open new phones

Why stress about someone helping you set up your phone in store. Surely you to the store for a personal service rather than the impersonal customer experience of online.

I wouldn't worry about someone openning up the box for my new phone. I loved that O2 set it up, helped get the case on etc.

Not really. I go to the store to get my phone simply because I want it straight away and not have to wait a few days for it to arrive.

In the scheme of life IMHO waiting a few days to arrive doesn't matter nor does going to the store and the store assistant opening the box and helping your set it up. Of all the things to get cantankerous about in modern life, this really isn't it.

Well for me personally as I mentioned in an earlier post, I have a small unboxing channel on youtube. So getting the goods as soon as possible and brand new and sealed is a pretty big requirement. Others here will have different reasons for wanting theirs new and sealed.

That's something I never understood I've stumbled across a few of those un boxing video's while trying to find information on something.
I have to say I did watch a couple of random ones out of curiosity.

I then went off to watch my lawn grow for a bit of excitement ;)

They're not taking it upon themselves. You're letting them.

You've already said you don't recall the assistant removing the outer packaging, and you don't recall them removing the film from the screen.....were you actually in the store? ;) :)

An unboxing can serve a purpose for some people, also some may continue to give a few hints and tips, maybe even a quick demo.

I have never had this problem and I must say if it happened to me I would be a little miffed, purely from the fact that the first thing I ever do to a new phone is put a screen protector on, as the protected film comes off a screen protector goes on, it really is the best way to have a nice bubble free protector..

On a serious note, I reckon my missus could be having an affair as I have no idea who this little fat bald guy is. Because when I last looked in the mirror this morning, all I saw was this very tall good looking feller. Must be at least six feet tall, full head of hair and a six pack.. Funny how we see ourselves, isn't it? :rolleyes:

Len O'Vinci must have used the same trick he used in his notebooks when he painted the portrait I keep in the bathroom - the T-shirt is hard to read...
