Most sales associates will say "No" right then and there, as there job is to make a sale right "then and now" they don't wanna bother pushing something that is not yet released when they figure if you are dumb enough to believe them and take their word that they know absolutely nothing on its release, or if they downright lie and say they are not going to be carrying it at all, there is a 50/50 chance one might succumb to their ignorance and lies and they can sell you the latest droid or iphone, make a quick sale, and be done with you.
Yet we all know those same sales associates are ever so quick to be rockin the latest and greatest devices the day after they are available in store, and the day you stop in to ask they know nothing, yet a day later you hear them walking around the store talking to potential buyers about the very same device you just recently inquired about, like they have owned one for years and then,they suddenly know all about it, and everything that it is capable of doing. I always get a good laugh out of that
