You should be getting a discount right along side of the device charge. Take a look at your bill again and tell me how much you are being charged for the phone and how much your line access discount is. Then I will show you how you are actually making out on this deal.
you could, if you had the time stand in front of their business and inform the customers before going in. if it is a public place then you can not get in trouble for trespassing. I would tell the customer going in to be aware of the lies and trickery of the workers in the store. that would at least get the managers attention and the possible customers aware of what the employees are trying to do. What they did to you as far as lying and tricking you into purchasing accessories that you were under the impression for free.
You would get arrested for this or, at the very least, the cops would make you move. You cannot stand in front of a business and tell customers not to go in.
All states have similar laws, this is from California:
Obstructing Business Operations
Title 14, §602.1
It is illegal in California for anyone to intentionally interfere with any lawful business operations or the operations of a public agency (like a post office) “by obstructing or intimidating those attempting to carry on business, or their customers” after having been asked to leave by the owner or owner’s agent.
This section applies if the harasser’s intent was to interfere with the operations of the business, and street harassment may have more to do with getting your attention than with whether or not you carry out your tasks. But if someone is harassing you while you are at, entering, or leaving a business open to the public or while you are working, and you feel it is interfering with the business being conducted, you have the right to tell him or her to stop. If you are an employee or business owner, you can either ask the person to leave yourself or ask your supervisor to do so; if you are a customer, ask an employee or manager of the business to ask the person to leave.
Penalty: Obstructing business operations is punishable by a fine of up to $400 and/or up to 90 days in jail.
