Hey Boston, have you always had to put up with this?

First let me say that we've never had to endure even a lick of bad attitude from any AT&T store employees for the more than ten years we've been with them, that is, until we moved to Boston a few years ago.

And I've spent the past three hours writing the details of having to put up with this until I saw that it was almost 3:00 a.m. and I said forget it, I need the old beauty sleep.

But let me just say that what was so offensive tonight was that we were intending to spend over a grand to buy two brand new Blackberry 9000s, and they just didn't . . . care. We don't care whether you buy or not seemed to be the prevailing 'tude, a stunningly incomprehensible approach to doing business, but especially so in tough economic times.

Nevertheless, we'll try to buy this phone with AT&T one more time, this weekend, by going to Metro West and Cambridge. In the meantime, if any of you guys have a buddy, a relative or just an acquaintance who works for an AT&T cellular store somewhere around Boston that you would personally recommend and can sell 617 or 781 area codes, feel free to contact us at iwatchneonATgmail.com.

Too tired now, gotta get some sleep.
