They screwed up with my phone repair two days in a row, causing me to not only miss work meetings…read morebut a doctor's appt., for which I'll now have to pay.
Then, just hours ago, the store manager interceded in my transaction and went roid rage on me, actually asking me if I "wanted to take it outside." I said, calmly, "Don't you want to know what happened?" "No, get out of my store or I'll have the police do it."
It was unreal. I think the manager's name is David Willis? He escalated a frustrating situation in which I received no apology for two days of screw-ups, and I wasn't even able to buy the new laptop I was there for either. It was incredibly bizarre.
Day One: 3:15 Genius Bar appt. Got there early, checked in. Didn't get called until 5:15. "Well, did you check in?" Yes! "With who?" You! We chatted like three times!
Today, bring phone back first thing in a.m. as planned with Genius Bar. First in line. Get checked in, then meet with laptop sales guy. One left, he'll reserve it for three hours though phone should be done in one. Debit card rejected. Fraud alert, we properly guessed, but since they have my phone in repair, I can't respond. So I have to wait to make purchase until after repair. Phone helper checked in with me twice. Looked good. Should be done soon. Now it's 12:45 (started at 10) and check in with phone person, what's going on, I've missed my doc appt. etc. etc. "You haven't gotten your phone yet?" Um, no. "Let me get my friend to see what's going on." Friend comes out with my phone. Sticker says it was done at 10:47 a.m. I'm a little peeved, friend/worker snarks at me, "You got your phone, what's the problem?" I've been here since 10, I've now missed a work meeting and doctor appointment. I was told the phone would be done a long time ago. Suddenly, an enraged man bursts on the scence and starts screaming at me. He's the store manager. And that's when he asked me if I wanted to step outside. His exact words. I was flabbergasted. Um, no, but my laptop reservation is ending in minutes. It's the only one of that model in stock I want to go buy it. No, get out or I'll have the police throw you out.
On way out I say to original phone helper, they're saying it's my fault somehow. She just says, "He's my manager."
I guess I'll order it online. Filed complaint with Apple.
(Also, turns out by the little sticker I see that IT WAS DONE AND READY TO GO AT 10:47 A.M., even as I was being told, "another 20 minutes," and "pretty soon" much after that.) I think manager's name was David Willis.
