Its funny...I dont know why service for sprint in Minneapolis is so good, but everyone I know from Minneapolis has sprint--kinda weird.

Ha ha ha ha🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

The good sportmanship thing is good and all... but you have to admit that is funny as hell ;)
Yeah, it is funny. It's not like Sprint hasn't known for many years that their customer service was driving people away. 😳
Only now, when the house has started to burn down, do they start to get serious about fixing it. ☹️
