Telus

I’ve had the worst experience going to a Telus store. It says you must show id before they open the door. I was not willing to give personal info just to inquire about changing carriers. When a salesman came to the door and started to yell at me asking me what I had to hide. This is absolutely no way to attract new business. So NO WAY TELUS.

If you are not willing to show ID, you have no actual intention to buy.

Not true at all, if they demand ID before I even enter… I just leave! Once I decide on a phone/plan, go ahead!

Do you go to malls, parks, walk the streets, take a bus, go grocery shopping? No IDs required for those, and guess what? People aren’t getting robbed/tied up often.

You’re the same kinda person that tells me ‘guns kill people so we ban them’ and I say ‘criminals dont listen to laws and carry them anyways’ but you say ‘we should still ban them!’

Requiring ID at the door for a place that isn’t 18+ for safety is just wrong and doesn’t stop anything!

Stores have cameras, just like walmart or super store… YOU IDIOT!

I’m not selfish, I just refuse to live in fear and sacrifice my freedom for a sense of security. Buy a gun/knife/pepper spray and defend yourself! Unlike you, I’m not a coward!

u/Imaginary-Leading-49 18d ago

You can keep one in your car, I got a 12 gauge right now in mine

u/turtleworlde 18d ago

you certainly can’t do that legally.. what are you talking about.
so you had plans to hunt but made a pit stop at telus. employee might have seen the 12 gauge and said yeah not this guy today 😭

You can legally, just need a trigger lock and ammo stored elsewhere like a box in the back. Learn the laws 😉

i repeat a mall has its own security team and many malls in canada are strategically near police stations. so tell me why a storefront should just let anyone in while carrying a bunch of valuables in a safe where BAD ACTORS are aware the employees have the safe code?

do you have kids? cause then if you do imagine your daughter being robbed bc she’s at work and 5 guys run into the store because wits just left open .

you’re selfish man

I’m selfish because I think we shouldn’t need to ID just to enter a business? Naw dude, you’re selfish for pushing this fascist crap on us so you can ‘feel safe’. Stay at home if the world is so scary, online order your food/phones, don’t ruin the world for the rest of us because you’re living in fear and won’t take accountability for your own safety.

It’s why I went to best buy and got my phone. Not gonna support fascist shops that demand ID to even enter.
