Phone shop visits

Hi!

I've done quite a few phone shops in both Denmark, Sweden and the UK. Being a bit of a phone geek I love these and have done them for almost all manufacturers and operators in these countries.

But I hear a lot of people who either hate these assignments or have gotten fed up with them.
However I did come across this fun, instructional video that I wanted to share:

Have never had a shop like that, actually most have been very well behaved, but has anyone expereinced something like this?

(Clarified to make it clear that this was about visits).
I have done a few of the phone call shops, but don't get a lot of these here either.

More About Phone Shops

I have only ever done two phone shops, but nothing like that! I like phone shops too, but they're pretty rare.

I love phone shops. Once in a while I suffer burn out but then I think of the lovely check going into my account every month. And I have hardly any expense doing these - no gas, no travel, etc. BUT I will not do a phone shop for less than $10.

I did a lot of phone shops before the fee was dropped. They were OK, in and out in about 15 minutes. I just got bored asking the same questions and listening to the same sales pitch when I just really wanted to see if they had on a name tag - hahaha. However it did help me decide which smart phone to purchase.

teriraia - I think you misunderstood - this is about making phone calls to a call center or a target and then reporting on the call. It is not going into a store and inquiring about a phone.

I (politely) beg to differ. Check the video that OP linked; it is definitely about store visits inquiring about new phones/service.

Well, I've edited my post. The video is clearly about a visit to a phone shop...

The shops were you make a phone call are quite rare here as well. Mostly I do them as part of a survey of a website/smartphone app and customer service of a company.
