    Logged into what?

    What’s a Sprint store?

    If it’s a shop that sells electronics like Currys or Mediamarkt then why would this person log into anything on display?

      Phone carrier.

      They have display phones and tablets.

      And some people use those display units for social media for some reason.

      Back in the 2010s I had a friend work in stores as a “device expert”, he handled daily resets of the display units (this was pre-MDM easy management days). The number of people who just logged on to Twitter, Facebook Messenger, even WhatsApp or GRINDR of all things (yes, dude left his grindr account logged in, full of explicit images, which downloaded to the device’s gallery, while the phones were most often used by KIDS in the store…), it was simply astonishing.

      Sprint is was a phone carrier in North America (pretty sure just the US, but they may have been in Canadia, too)

        No it was USA only. We have three mobile carriers that own all the cell towers here. You’re either with Rogers, Bell, or Telus, or one of their derivatives. There’s zero competition here, it’s ridiculous.
