Normally the decision is what hello kitty sticker comes with this or do I get a free rice cooker!!!!

One time I asked to see a phone and was handed a dummy by the dummy working there. I then asked to see a real working model and he told me that they don't have any. I then asked to see the phone on his belt (was the same model I was asking about). He told me that "store policy" didn't allow him to show me his phone which was identical to the one I was asking about. He then tried to close the sale. HA!
