• Metro by T-Mobile stores are reportedly under pressure to slam customers by adding unwanted features to their accounts.
• These stores are pressured to sell accessories like cases, chargers, and insurance to meet sales targets.
• T-Mobile faced similar allegations in July, with reports of deceptive sales practices in their main stores as well.

T-Mobile is once again facing accusations of shady sales tactics, which are now spilling over into its Metro by T-Mobile stores.
