Male, 22
I worked at Best Buy for about a year in which a learned a whole lot of nothing about sales but I did walk away with lots of free vendor giveaways! I worked in the Mobile Department and no, I don't recommend the iphone.
Anything from the blackberry rep. I got gloves that you can touch your phone screen through, backpacks, hoodies, and he even got me and my team invited to special blackberry events though that may have been normal for all store reps. I doubt that is the case anymore though due to the fact that the company is finally pretty much dead, at least in current form.

Having had many of the same conversations with our district Apple representive I have yet to get a straight answer on this. About a week after a iphone or ipad is launched he always manages to get all his buddies hooked up with the latest device seemingly free to stock constraints. Now that could be because Apple sets aside stock for reps but it seems odd that they wouldn't just send it out to us stores which are swamped with customers pretty much throwing money at us.
If Apple does hold inventory i'll say it doesn't help at my old store. We normally turned people towards the shining beacon of hope that is Android.
