How To Piss Off Store Management, Windows Mobile-style

I have done this several times in the past, but I am only getting around to writing about it now.
Let me start off with this preface. I am the proud owner of the Samsung i730 PDA phone. It is unique, in that, it comes preloaded with a program that utilizes the phone's IrDA port to control equipment. So basically it's a universal remote control. In it, it has preprogrammed several brands of televisions, DVD players, stereo systems, and VCRs. Here's where the fun begins.
I paid a visit to Target today, for reasons I do not feel like telling you people. On my way to the curtains/toys/food/whatever-you-want-to-think-I-was-doing, I passed by the wall of televisions in the electronics department. Sure, why not, I said to myself. I whipped out my i730 and opened up the Remote Control program. I clicked Sony TV and proceded to turn off every Sony TV on the wall. Then I turned them all back on, and changed the channel to 56. As a result, the snowstorm began.
At this point, I hear some lowly employee say "What the hell is going on?" I start to snicker. Then I hear that he calls the manager and has him come out to fix the TVs. So I walk away. So I ruined some guy's lunch break, so what?
