The customer is always right... Right?

Hilarious or just plain stupid? Whatever, you have to admit it does raise a smile especially from people who have had awful experiences from mobile carriers.

I don't see the humor. Now the shop has to get all that fixed and the customer is arrested gets a record and is screwed for life. Its a lose lose. Whatever the problem was it was not solved.

Yep, its hilarious. However, you shouldn't let yourself go down this road. It only makes your life harder.

Were all those people standing around watching, how boring is it there? The police seemed so nice about it. If that would have happened here, the cops would have messed him up, knee to the back of the head, all that stuff.

customer service has gone in the UK no one gives a shit anymore, every time i ring a company with a issue i get fobbed off and spoken to like crap, i cant remember the last time i got treated with respect from an agent, infact it was only today that i got called a liar by a manager at dell for saying i wanted the same offer that was on there own site.
so i totally understand y this guy just lost it , it was most likely the straw that broke the camels back.

customer service does realy suck these days. the bigger the company the more likely no one is gonna care about you as a customer....

Of course the cops are nice about it! In Britain the police are trained more in negotiation and defensive hand to hand combat, rather than being trained in "this guy is mad let's taze him 10 times and kneel on his throat" :P The majority of officers in Britain don't even carry a firearm OR tazer, and those that do have to take loads of courses and training and psych assessments to be allowed.

Wireless is free right? Unless he bought something from t-mobile like such as a phone or a data-plan he isn't a customer in my book.

You forgot they would have tazered him multiple times. Maybe even pepper sprayed him and then have him die in custody.

That many spectators?
Really???

And I thought my life was boring, I wouldn't bother crowding to watch that episode, I see toddlers doing it all the time in the supermarket.....

What a waste of energy!
Just wait till the place is shut and fire bomb it!

What are you gonna use to firebomb it? Molotov Cocktail? Grenade launcher? Or Flame Thrower?

Rage and lack of self-control is present on the scene. He know he will get into trouble with the authority but who cares; keep raging.

If that ends bad, well he brought it to himself.

Stupid foreigners in the vid, can't even speak the country's language. As for the guy, throw his ass in jail, let him pay 100% of the damages, and ban him from all stores of the chain.

Edit: Oh its a T-Mobile shop. Who cares. :p

**PhoenixBSD** · 07-03-12 at 07:16 AM

I think most of us have had the urge, at least once or twice in our lives, to react to pathetic customer service like this guy did. Glad no one was hurt and hope it sends a clear message to T-mobile, or at least that store, to take better care of their customers.
