Just had my worst retail experience EVER at North Lancaster Store. Rudest person I have ever encountered in retail works there. Absolutely no customer service skills. Very terse and short with all customers. I know the job probably sucks, so whatever.
I had waited 20 minutes to get help because I needed something from the stock room, and had to wait while she activated someone's phone. No one else was working there. Fine, I understand that. Not her fault they are understaffed.
Then she got my stuff from the back. The item was on sale, but then she had to do some extremely complex transaction and then go back to the stock room to print something and then scan it so I could save $5 bucks. I commented that their system seems rather antiquated. Then, of course, she had to see my ID even though Master Card policy prohibits requiring showing positive ID. I told her, fine, but that it is against Mastercard policy. Look it up if you don't believe me. It"s my pet peeve that I have to go through a bunch of BS to prove my ID at a retail store, when I can just punch in my card number online and be done.
Some weirdo standing there (people were starting to line up in random locations) then asked my "why are you so rude, when she is just doing her job". He was very aggressive, and I realized that the clientele in this place by-and-large seems pretty sketchy. He may have had a point, but that lady and that cluster**** of that place just brought out the worst in me.
That guy and I proceeded to have an argument right in the store. He told me the batteries I was buying wouldn't last 10 minutes, and I told him how rude it is of him to insult these fine Radio Shack product.s. He kept right on blabbering about my rudeness as I walked out with my purchase (which I now wish I had just abandoned the whole thing).
Well, let's just say my days of Radio Shack are over. To that fine upstanding citizen and that stellar customer service provider, you need not worry that I will ever again bring my rude self into Radio Shack. read more
