WOW Today must be the day...
Me. "Have you ever had cellular service before?"
Customer. "yes, with Verizon, but I cancelled them because the bills were too high."
Me, "Were you going over your plan minutes?"
Customer, "Maybe, I dunno. But I cancelled them, now I want to look at Nextel." (I am a sales agent for both)
Me, "How many minutes do you think you will need?"
Customer, "Oh, not that many. I rarely used my Verizon phone. Maybe like 200 minutes."
I ran the credit application and he came back a deposit.
Customer, "Oh. Well, what would Verizon offer me?"
Me, "Since you do not have an account now, you would need to do a credit application with them too."
Ran credit app, came back call 1-800-no pay for collection account.
Customer, ...

Me, (once again dumbfounded) "Well I would suggest you get your bank account straightened out before you take on any other debts. I would also highly suggest you not attempt to write any checks until you are SURE THERE IS MONEY TO COVER for them."
Customer, "I guess I won't be able to get the phone today. I really need it and hoped you would be willing to do business with me, but since you won't take a check from me I guess I will have to look around."
WOW!!! It's like I was refusing to do business with someone that should not even be buying a cellular phone, much less I won't take a check from him KNOWING IT ISN"T ANY GOOD!!!
That is PARTICULARLY retarded.
Actually, callin...

I'm surprised this is the first time it's ever happened to you. My store is in a low income area, and we have declined credit cards and checks come up all the time. Luckily we use Telecheck for automatic check verification, so we don't have to worry about anyone bouncing a check.
...
Sure. But you missed the point of what was said. He wanted to pay with a check knowing he didn't have money in the account and EVEN ADMITTED to that fact. I wouldn't want to sell anything to someone like that. Not worth the future aggrevation.
...
Bounced checks are one thing. I am talking about someone that openly says they know they don't have enough funds to cover but still wonders why I won't take the check!
