You have my attention. I need to know this process.

When I managed stores for AT&Tingular, my home office had small blocks of wood that we camo'd into the sales floor/office decor and back drop. It was a putt-putt course. When the store was slow, cleaned and everyone's work was done, we would play putt-putt. One of my stores had a make shift driving range in the back that we built out of an old cubicle wall (for the tee box) and had hooks mounted on the walls 15' away that we hooked a net to. We used those orange Callaway practice balls. I taught several of my employees how to hit a ball in the back of an AT&T store. We also used to make medieval weapons out of old front window sales posters (roughly 6' X 6'). That job was great. I was on the golf course 3 days a week.

I learned this technique from a coworker about 35 years ago. Amazing for accuracy and distance.

Yes sir! Man those were fun times. We all made good money and had a blast doing it. I started in sales in the indirect channel during the Bell South Cingular days. I was promoted to manager 3 months later and the following month they started dumping stores on me and changed my title. After the (reverse) merger, the job was still fun; just not as much fun. It slowly went down hill after. When the N-Gage was released by Nokia and Nokia sent demo units to the store, our non-customer times were completely unproductive until they pulled the demo units. (I still have one ) I actually found a bit torrent that had all the N-Gage games. We were Tiger Woods and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater professionals.

I still catch myself dreaming and giving customers the toll-free customer service number and power-cycling phones.

In all honesty, had anyone's behavior been known of what happened when customers were not in the store, NO ONE would have kept their jobs....but holy shit man, it really was a blast. The only bullshit about working there was all the corporate stuff.
