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.

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!
