AN UPSET customer reportedly superglued himself to a table and remained for three hours in a Vodafone store this morning because he wanted to change from another mobile phone provider
The man, who was in a mobility scooter, glued himself to a counter in Vodafone’s store in Montague Road in Worthing this morning.
Vodafone claim he wanted to leave the other provider to join Voxi, who are another network provider, but they could not help him today due to a delay in processing a code which would allow him to switch.
A spokesman also reassured him that he will be able to join Voxi once the issue is resolved with his previous provider.

Sussex Police said no offences were committed and the man left "peacefully" this afternoon.
Pictures from the shop today showed a man with his hands seemingly superglued to the table while police officers speak to him.
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service was also called to the shop but said “no action was required” from the fire brigade.
A Vodafone UK spokesman said: “The customer advised us that he has been trying to leave another network to join VOXI. Unfortunately, the previous network hasn’t processed his PAC code correctly so we have been unable to help the customer join VOXI and keep his old mobile number.
“We have advised the customer to speak to his previous network, and have reassured him that he’ll be able to join VOXI with his old number as soon as his previous provider has resolved the issue.”
A Sussex Police spokesman said: "Around 11.50am on Friday, November 26, police were called after a man had reportedly glued himself to the counter in Vodafone, Montague Street, Worthing.
"Officers attended and shortly before 3.30pm, the man went peacefully on his way.
"No offences were committed."
