take a wha???

hospital mebbe?

i went to the Cricket Store in Aurora to redeem a $25 coupon today. after 4+ years of their service, i got a little break. so after my acupuncturist appointment today, i headed out there.

as any other wireless store, it's in a strip mall. however, unlike the little store that i got my phone, you have to take a number and wait for it to be called by an automated voice. it was so...motor vehicle bureau. i was ready to take an eye test when i got up to the window.

totally weird.

the store even had a security guard(?!?)...strolling around...and telling newly arrived customers to take a number. have i missed something? since when is there security for cell phone re-sellers? is there copper wire in the phones that makes it so lucrative to steal?

have any of you experienced this at your wireless store? oh well. twenty-five bucks of next month's bill is still a nice gesture, even if redeeming it is like a lost Twilight Zone episode...
