said by Mr Guy :What good will that do since new customers don't get the employee discounts?
"Hey come to T-Mobile they're great. I get a 20% employee discount, but you won't"
yeah sounds like great word of mouth.
Right... Because every person pays the same regardless of when they play the game. Don't tell that to people buying houses or people that bought houses when interest rates were higher.
If you value things solely based on what others pay, you're a bit short sighted there. Might I suggest you not cut off your nose to spite your face?
Bob pays $80/mo for the same service I could pay $100/mo for. I could also use an alternative provider and pay $120/mo just to "stick it" to the company that won't sell me the $100/mo service for $80/mo. Great, I will pay $40 more per month for an alternative service out of spite vs. looking for a service that works for me AND a price point that works form. I guess everyone has their own values.
Also, who in their right mind would suggest T-Mobile to someone then immediately follow that up with, "but oh, you can't get the employer based discount like I have."
