Thumbs down Policy & Practice

The key point of my issue is that it is a Corporate Business Practice to tell the salesperson to sell "2 year contracts on IPad's and tell the customer they will save $100. But the true savings is $60 as AT&T charges $40 to get the $100 and that is a Corporate rule. Of course it would not be practical for the customer to pursue legal relief since it would be too costly and in addition the customer has probably already signed the 2 yr contract before they found out it would cost $40 thus it is a sort of "Catch 22". It would be interesting to know if the Salespeople really know what game is being played by offering $100 credit and only giving $60? Aah greed is a terrible thing,
