The manager at this location is rude and provides terrible customer service. He's really incapable.
I've spoken to GameStop on the phone & they were shocked at how I was spoken to and called it unacceptable behavior.
I had a problem with a power cable I bought at this location. First, the box had already been opened. I should have taken it back right away, but there was a label that read "new" so I thought maybe it was ok. Benefit of the doubt, which ironically I would not be afforded. The manager was right, that I had returned more than 30 days after purchasing, but that was all he was interested in. He immediately took an accusatory and incredulous tone with me, and was dismissive, showing no interest in helping me. This was during the holidays and it was a horrible way to be treated. He asked, if I had had a problem with the cable right away, why hadn't I come back sooner?
I don't live in the area. I had left the cable at my aunt's house, where they were going to use an older Xbox for streaming services and what not. The problem was noticed right away, there was a fan on the power block & it never turned off. 24/7 the fan was making noise, whether the console was on or not. I told my aunt to unplug and leave it, I would take care of the return when I got back. Which is what I attempted to do.
I didn't realize there would be such an officious, unhelpful individual watching the shop.
The young man at the cashier, Taylor, was very nice and asked his boss for guidance. He looked almost apologetic at the tone his boss took.
So, after being chastised for my tardiness, I asked, is there anything you can do for me? The boss said, you can buy another one, in a very sarcastic tone.
I said, what would that do? The one I have is useless.
He said, the one you buy today would be new.
I said, oh, like the one that I purchased, which said it was new but was already opened?
He wasn't even there when I purchased the cable. He was uninformed and led with arrogance, totally the wrong way to go about this. As I mentioned, I've already spoken to GameStop on the phone and they completely agree, he was wrong to speak to me that way.
I wouldn't normally waste my energy on a person who showed me no good-will, but I am of the opinion that even when the customer is wrong, the customer is always right. A tenet of retail that this manager could surely do with studying. read more
