Rude employees

I went to Baybrook mall in Webster Texas to so some shopping with my young sons last Monday 01/02/2012. While my 11 year old son shopped in one of the stores, I decided to brouse the Sprint kiosk located in the common area of the mall. I have been a Sprint customer for over 10 years and have been satisfied with my service until now. So when I decided to look at phones for my sons birthday I didnt expect the treatment I got.
The sales rep asked if I needed help and I told him I was just brousing the phones but I would let him know. When i finished looking, i continued to "hang out" by the kiosk as my child was making a purchase in the store net to it and I wanted to keep an eye on him. A man presented himself as the manager and asked me to move so they could look in a display case i was blocking. No problem, I relocated to another area but where i could still see my son. I was asked to move again. No problem, this time i was sure to move to an area where there was NO product to be sure I did not interfere with potential business. After about 30 seconds I was told I needed to relocate to a nearby bench and not lean against the kiosk. I politely explained that my son was in the store and I would move along as soon as he finished his transaction. I was then told if I didnt move away from the kiosk Security would be called.
I told him to go ahead and call security, which he did.
Security came, I explained the situation and they agreed to allow me to wait for my son until he bought his hat.
Contact whoever owns or operates that kiosk and have them fire the employee that treats customers like garbage.

Why did you need to stand outside the store to watch your son? Why didn't you go in and finish his shopping with him?

i slept in a bottom rack on my first ship. It's not the best place to be with people trying to step on your mattress when they're too lazy to use the foot-steps provided.
and then someone decides your mattress is where their BUTT belongs when they want to read at night... ?
I wish I was making this up but I'm not.
The female decided to read at night and the only way to do it properly was to turn her rack-light on and sit across from it on my mattress. While I was trying to sleep.
Worse than that... she got offended - OFFENDED - when I made her stop!
She had the call go accuse me of 'whining' when I made her stop! As if I should put up with her stinky buttocks on my bed?
forget that =/

Seriously? Point One: You were not a customer, you were just hanging around their kiosk. Point Two: That kiosk is there to display their merchandise, not for you to rest any part of your body on. It's a display case, not a bench, couch or your living room sofa. Point Three: You were getting in the way of people trying to work! Here's a tip: Act with courtesy and respect toward other people and they'll be more likely to treat you the same way.

I think the letter writer was definitely wronged here.
Not sure about firing the Sprint employee, but a talking to is justified.

Maybe they were afraid you were loitering or going to shoplift? I agree you were treated badly and have a legitimate complaint.

You browsed as you waited. Then you said you were just "hanging out".
Therefore you were not a customer.

Why didn't you just tell them, "I'm going to be looking to buy a phone in a few minutes, I'm just waiting for my kid to finish in that store." Without speaking up, you behaved like a loiterer.

anything from the kiosk, why would you think it's OK to lean on it? You were asked to move three times before they threatened to call security. For all they know, you are just waiting for a prime moment to smash a case and grab merchandise or to hold them up. This is entirely on you. I would have been nervous if you were not a customer but leaning on my kiosk asked repeated requests for you to walk away. Would it have been so difficult to hang out in the store where you son was conducting business, or the bench that is designed for people to sit on?
Employees don't need to be fired. You weren't being a customer at that time, you were just loitering. It's also worth remembering that lots of folk have CCW permits. Suspicious behavior can make people a little trigger happy.
