    Hold on one second please. I just logged on and I see this gem 💎. Now correct me if I’m wrong, please.

    But, did you just say you are making payments on a cell phone?

    Hey Dom I'm saying to stay out of contract I bought the phone out right through Apple. Why would I hand over 1k if they're offering interest free financing to qualified applicants. Being the astute car wash king you are Id think this be a no brainer

    get the Fuk out of here with that bullshit about buying a fukin phone for status. I have the 6+ was due for an upgrade, got interest free payments from Apple so bought the phone. Jesus Christ Thomorino.

    Doing some running around today so this will come in bits & pieces. I will say out of the box it's noticeably thinner than the 6+. Sharp looking phone though

    Philly guy I was responding to Rudy and talking about buying the phone for 1k - which I would have to do because I currently have an android phone.

    The unibrow (notch) is ugly as hell and is annoying when watching videos. Other than that, great build quality. A ripoff that for 1000+ bucks they cant throw in the fast charging brick.

    Pal do yourself a favor & hours of aggravation- don't respond to Rudy or Boston Guy. It's now going to take me an hour to explain the merits of buying something interest free as opposed to just paying cash

    So it's better to have monthly payments just because there is no interest on a measly thousand dollars? I could understand a car but this? Really?

    Money has a time value, that's why the IRS charges interest on late payments. If you can finance something at an interest rate below the rate of return you can get on your capital it makes sense to finance.

    Turn it upside down if you want. The notch will still obstruct part of the video you're watching, unless you zoom out, and then have hideous black bars on both sides of the screen.

I have the best so the employees want the best, not just phones but anything. They work harder when they see people around them having the newest and the best toys...

    I was even thinking about throwing an iPhone x to the top seller in December. That 1k is nothing compared to the extra sales generated by motivated employees.

    Well then my question would be what amount would you feel like you could just pay it. If the phone was 100 dollars would you finance that as well? 500 dollars? 750?

    Lol, the problem with this thinking is you won't have the best phone in 6 months when a new phone comes out. Why buying shit that upgrades every year for status is a waste of money.

    Lol, why not just offer performance bonuses in cash, seems like a lot of effort for something that should be meaningless.

    That’s basically the point we were all trying to convey to him before he tried to tell us about interest.

    Not thinking outside the box? Its a phone that doesn't do anything different than my Galaxy s3. It has a faster processing speed. About it.

    Spend 1k for a phone that will be replaced by Iphone XI next year. That's a great fukking investment.

    You're in sales. Of course you're going to push your product.

    Like I said.... no offense to anyone who wants a new phone. But man... you could get the Galaxy s8 on ebay brand new for around $580

    I'd rather spend the $580 and use the other $420 towards my gas and electric bill.

    Fascinates me how people are addicted to Apple products.

    When I pre ordered on the 27th or 28th I was buying the phone outright as it keeps me out of contract with my carrier. When going through the ordering process I saw they offered interest free payments to qualified buyers that night....seemed like a no brainer to me.....not sure what I'm missing here

    The iPhone X can record videos in 4K at 60FPS, and the camera is pretty good, not as good as the camera on the Google Pixel 2. Its not just a phone you're buying.

    I have to say I really have a hard time believing the sales guy. People really get motivated to sell more so they can go blow $1k on a phone? Show them the top sales bonuses for the month and that should motivate 10 times better.
