I went to this store today to get information on offers I had received for a new phone. When asked first thing, I provided my telephone number, password and ID. The clerk, Madison per email, said the offer was for an iphone 14 and I explained I would need the larger screen and I liked red. She went to a stock room and came back with a phone. The only deal I was eligible for was a trade in of my phone for $350. I explained I was sure the remaining cost of the phone was too much for me so I was not interested. The phone she had retrieved was never looked at or even out of the box. I picked up my old phone and left.
When I got home I had an email waiting with details of my transaction and my new billing amount which said $129.00 monthly; my current bill is $61. I got my phone and tried to place a call to ATT to figure out what was going on and my phone had no service.
I really was in a panic. I am 74 and not in the best of health and my disabled husband had surgery January 11 and I now had no phone service which I consider essential for us.
I returned to this store and immediately sought out the same sales agent. I was trying to explain how critical an error they had made and she said she would fix it with a sim card. Meanwhile the manager shouted across the room the he was going to ask me leave because I was upset. He came over to us and said in fact settle down or I will make you leave and you can't come back to this store. I asked the sales rep for the name of his boss but he said he would not give me that information.
I left when my service was restored with a sim replacement. I spent 33 years as a customer service manager with ATT, now retired, and cannot believe how terrible this experience was for me. No apology was offered and they had made a terrible mistake. I am not sure if because of my age they thought they could do this or if they just needed a sale that bad but I would tell everyone to stay far, far away from this location. read more
