OK If he wants to know before he signs up with us I can usually estimate a bill with all the features within about 2 dollars. If that's not good enough I can break out my own bill and show him what exactly I am taxed on my current personal rate plan. I have done this for my customers on numerous occasions. I don't want my customers to have ANY surprises when they get their bills. Surprises result in returns which result in chargebacks which means I lose my commissions. It is in my best interest to make sure that my customers FULLY understand everything they are charged for BEFORE they leave my store. Remember folks if you sign up for ANY cell service you have 30 days to change your mind on it. AT least that is how it is here in Florida. I have had customers decide to cancel their service after I went over what the bills would actually look like. I don't mind that at all. I would rather them cancel the service right then and there than have a chargeback for a disconnect in a few months.
I work for AT&T. Maybe you are just asking the wrong questions. Every time I activate a new customer I give them a print out of exactly how their first months bill and normal monthly bills will break down. This print out is avalible through any AT&T vendor and is called a CSS (Customer Service Summary) This print out breaks down everything on you bill including rate plan, data, messaging, extra services ( insurance, roadside assistants...) taxes and fees broken down by which entity is charging which fees and taxes. Any good sales person will present you with this at the time of the sale. If you not getting one maybe you should consider going to a different AT&T store. Just like everyone else that franchises their business you are going to have good agents and bad agents.
I happen to work for one of these Evil HMO's. Let me tell you about HMO's. They will cober anything as long as your employer ask for and pays for coverage.Insurance companies are more than happy to provide any service an employer asks for.
Every plan I have even seen (and thats alot 20 years in health insurance)ALL of them have what we call "executive riders" basically these "riders" pay for all of the things that the normal crappy plan your employer purchases doesn't cover. I have seen many of these plans that will pay for boob jobs for the CEO's mistress but wouldn't even cover perscritptions for all the other employees. Don't blame the HMO's plan your employer for being a cheapskate.
I found myself in the same predicament a few years ago before I got married. My solution... I bought her a cubic zirconia and never told her. They are just as pretty and sparkley, you get the same ohhs and ahhs. Only a jewler can really tell the difference and I got a nice 1.5 carat solitare for about 200 bucks. In my opinion it's the only way to go
I was involved in an accident a few years ago that left me missing two fingers on my left hand. That of course make normal keyboarding impossible. I am an IT professinal and I have never been cut any slack becasue of my (and I hate using this term) disablity, and never thought I deserved any either, I have to applaud the court for not buckling under pressure and finally saying that SOMETHING was NOT a disablity.
