Update: I can no longer recommend this store.
I went in this afternoon to get my third SIM card for a family member. The manager recognized me and asked me if I was there to buy a PM SIM card. I said I was and that he surprised me by recognizing me. He said that he knew why I was there, but this time he needed to "register" the card for me. I said that the promotion was for me to activate it at home but he insisted that he knew what he was doing. He told me to come back in about 10 minutes until he could finish with the current customers there. I said okay and stepped out of the store.
I felt that there was something going on so I decided to leave and try Walmart which was walking distance. Walmart was like a zoo because of Black Friday. The three agents at the mobile station were very busy. One of them asked me what I wanted and I said I just wanted to buy a PM SIM card. He then got a key and opened a cabinet, and got a card for me. I paid cash and asked if I had to activate it there. Surprisingly, he said no so I walked away with an unactivated card and no hassles. I think I was lucky because the place was crawling with customers wanting to get a new phone and they just wanted to get rid of me quickly.
As far as the Mobile Shop is concerned, I don't think I'll be able to go back there and get any more cards because the manager recognizes me and I feel he does not want to sell me one without trying to register it himself. I may sound a bit paranoid here but I'm pretty good at reading people. Hope this helps anyone who is in the area.
