Loading ...Looks like someone was desperate for a Palm Pre. There is no need to hurry, if you know about the Palm Pre you will most likely be able to get it tomorrow. Locate all the stores carrying Palm Pre in your area and decide which ones you’ll go to tomorrow. I hope that lady gets her Palm Pre.
An elderly woman apparently couldn’t wait to get her Palm Pre from a Calumet Park cell phone store. She only suffered a few scratches, but the store didn’t fare so well.
The woman drove her car right into the store, smashing the front windows and stopping completely inside. Employees Jesus Leal Jr. and Rich Kelly were inside when they got the surprise of their lives (watch the video at left to see what we mean).
“It was a complete shock … they helped her out of the car and 30 seconds later police and fire dept got all here,” Kelly said.
“The best way I can put it is when you’re watching a movie and you see a car go through a display, it’s everything’s in slow motion. You didn’t look, you just see glass shattered everywhere,” Leal said.
The store, at 12842 S. Ashland Ave., is getting ready to release the new Palm Pre on Saturday. They said they’ll clean up and hope to be able to reopen by 8 a.m.

Was she driving a Pre-us?
So, did she get her new Pre????
We don’t know that, the article wasn’t updated.
So…where exactly did they help her out of the car? It’s best not to lie about something that is caught on video. They very clearly did not attempt to help her in any way. Totally disgusting. Awesome employees you have there Sprint!
I would say they’re awesome employees. Why would they even help someone who has clearly lost their mind. And one that you are uncertain of what they’ll plan next. She clearly thought ramming her car into the store was the best way to get the Pre. Murder could’ve been right up there, too. Could’ve came out with a gun.
She also seemed to have thought nothing was wrong as she opened the door, and reached back inside for her purse so that she could, obviously, pay for the Pre.
You help help her because it’s the right thing to do. not because it’s safe. Not because it’s fun. You coward. You child.
Help her? Are you insane? They just got the shock of their lives after a car crashed through their store. You can’t blame them for being completely stunned by the incident, having barely escaped with their lives due to a stroke of luck and instinctive reaction to jump out of harm’s way. Think with your head before you post nonsense.
And the article is inaccurate and dramatizes this unnecessarily. If she crashed in on purpose, she should go be prosecuted and locked up. In any case her dl should be revoked after this and no Palm Pre for her!
I’m a Sprint employee and I wouldn’t have helped her… at least for the first minutes.
I agree, initialy you have to realize what is going on. Was it an accident, is she crazy, is this a hostile customer, or is he/she trying to steal money/cell phones. Then she aparently got out of her car on her own, so obviously she was not harmed.
Let’s be rational people and think things through.
