I was on the phone for at least half an hour repeating "But if I don't carry, it's useless, and if I ever do for some reason, it will cost me money... and I don't want it". But for some reason this made me a complete fool since "It's free unless you need it. How can you refuse such an awesome deal?". I actually had to use my teacher voice to silence the worker and move on with my life.
