An Odd Reaction to a Cell Phone Upgrade

I recently got a new cell phone. My previous one was becoming hoplessly obsolete. (In other words, I had received a notice that they were turning off the old network.)

The next time I get a reaction like that from store clerks I plan to rise from my wheelchair and hit them with my cane.
