I've typically received good service at this store but tonight was not my night. Only one girl working. We were not greeted upon entering. So we took a seat at the counter because there were a few people ahead of us. The girl came out and came over to help, another lady walked in and mid answer to a question I had asked she stopped and said she need to go back to the other group. I asked her to please finish answering the question before leaving us. She did, but was clearly not happy that I had asked her to stay and finish her statement.
We waited about 20 minutes while she finished with the other group. Then she called us over to the computer she was at. We told her we needed to switch a line over to my account from a different at&t account and she looked up my number. Asked for the account code, I told her I had been having trouble with it all day because on my earlier call with at&t none of the codes I gave them worked. They had to get in using my IMEI (?) number on my phone. I asked if she could get in that way also and she said no, so we tried the two numbers I had previously tried despite my knowing they would not work.
She spent a few minutes attempting to bypass the code or reset it, even got up to lock the door at 5:56, then called a coworker to get help. She then said some accounts couldn't be bypassed nor reset on their end, so I would need to call the business care service (but...they're closed). She proceeded to tell me that the process was long and took time because she "would need to get into my account to get my account number and my husbands account to get his", at this point I asked if I could just give her the account number and she said "no!". She then told me I was being rude to her and jumping on her, that she was trying to help me, but I wasn't being nice. I followed with the comment that I was not trying to be rude or jump on her, but her comment of needing the account number made it seem as though that was all she needed so I was trying to give it. She said "well, you are".
I then asked for the number for business care so I could call. She responded with "its 611" in a tone of voice that was rude and condescending, as though I was dumb for asking the question. She stood there as we rose to leave and I had to ask her to unlock the door.
Overall, no one left happy. I know and understand that my error in the account code was not her fault, but her customer service was terrible and unnecessary. I wish I would've caught her name, but she was the only one working tonight 1/13/19 @ 5:20 pm. read more
