When I arrived at the shop in Latham, the agent told me a substantially higher price than the promised price without even looking at my phone.

I could understand this, but the tech gave me the higher price without even looking at the phone.

He was also named Ben, but not the same Ben that I had worked with earlier. One customer clearly had some mental problems and kept walking around asking customers for their opinions on phones, watches, covers, cases, etc. He wanted to buy stuff but didn't have any money, and everything he said was practically yelling. While Ben tried to help him, he also assisted other customers set up their new phones, change plans, etc. Ben also said that their "hotspot" or "wifi" was down (in the Verizon store!) so things were going really slow. It took 60 minutes for Ben to get to me. He had to transfer each of my pictures and contacts individually because the machine that did it automatically had been removed from the store as it was deemed a "security risk." The transfer took another 20 minutes, during which time Ben helped other customers too. I brought a thick book to read and made real progress while waiting. I can't blame Ben. He was multitasking the best he could, helping regular and "difficult" customers in the process, and was dealing with a broken internet connection. All the same, I have been here twice, they were short-staffed twice, and each time took me an hour or more to get the help I needed. If I was dealing with a mall kiosk that would be one thing, but this store boldly proclaims "VERIZON" on the outside and I expect better from them. They get one star for giving me my free phone, and one star for seemingly only hiring people named "Ben." ------------------------------------------ (5/05/2021) My four year old flip phone was not playing nicely with the new 5G network (apparently my phone preferred 3G networks) so I figured it was time for a new one. My wife received an email from Verizon discussing their new, free flip phone so we headed here after dinner one night. There were a couple of other people in the store, and one family (mother/daughter) were there at least 90 minutes upgrading their phones, transferring data, and signing paperwork. There was only one employee when we went- apparently the other called out- though he was helpful and friendly. His name was also Ben, so I wouldn't have expected anything less. We were there almost an hour ourselves and only 3 total people were helped before us. Apparently, timing is everything. They didn't have the phone I wanted but were willing to order it. I hate feeling stupid, and stores with smart phones do that to me. I hate waiting, and this store made me do that. But, thankfully the other Ben and my wife helped me through. And since I might not need to come back for another four years, I guess I will manage...

They people that work there are always kind of dorky. Im convinced that too much time with technology saps a man of his testosterone and renders him soft and unlikely to hook up much. In turn that leaves our Radio Shack employee more time to look at computer porn, get softer, and worry about what version of andriod is running on your phone. Needless to say this kid did not know too much about what I was looking for. They had some of the stuff, but they are moving away from that kind of thing to cell phones and cameras. Circuitry is what most of our modern world is made of, and remarkably tons of this stuff to interact with circuits is out there waiting to be discovered. It takes some time and I'm a beginner, but it's fascinating to know that you can build almost anything you can think of from off the shelf electronic components. geek out.

Also, last year our computer was acting up and running slow so I brought it here. They did a scan of the hard drives and reformatted parts of the storage so that we had more free space (so our computer wouldn't crash every time we needed to do something) and removed some programs we didn't need (after consulting with us first).

I recently got rid of the internet and cable and switched to fios and that was the best thing I've ever done. I deceived to keep the phone service because it is a reasonable price for unlimited data. I went in today to upgrade my phone and it was the biggest waste of 2 hours of my life. They told me I didn't qualify to finance the phone but couldn't give me a reason why. I have almost a 800 credit score and I've never missed a bill in my life. How is that possible? We asked the manager to please check again because something wasn't right and he said cant do anything even he doesn't qualify for the phone financing. I literally took my ID back and went straight to Verizon down the street and switched services. It is a little more expensive but IMO worth every penny. I never want to deal with Spectrum again. Absolute scumbags.
