Anyone relatively in the know about mobile phone shops and phones 4u will know that there is a fun game you can play where you walk in and try and stay in the store for 10 seconds without anyone coming up to you asking if they can help. The game is devilishly difficult but not impossible (I’ve made 20 seconds before and made a safe exit). Being totally bored I’ve now decided to expand on this game with certain events now scoring points with the visit generating a points total. The scoring scheme is as below
| Event | Points |
| Each second in store without being approached | 10 pts |
| Lasting more than 10 seconds | 100 pts |
| Lasting more than 20 seconds | 250 pts |
| Lasting more than 30 seconds | 500 pts |
| Lasting more than 60 seconds | 2500 pts |
| Salesman attempts to sell you contract despite only wanting PAYG/sim free/phone top up/the toilet | 750 pts |
| Salesman attempts to sell you a contract with more minutes and texts than you actually need | 1000 pts |
| Salesman attempts to sell you a contract with twice as many minutes and texts than you actually need | 2000 pts |
| Salesman makes you sit at their desk to discuss your requirements | 500 pts |
| Salesman drags you in from the street | 5000 pts |
| More than one salesman fights with the other sales people to serve you | 1000 pts for each salesman |
| Each minute you manage to keep the salesman talking without actually buying a phone | 100 pts |
| You end up buying a phone that you didn’t really want | Lose all your points |
Anyone playing the game feel free to comment with high scores as well as catagories you feel are also worth points
