On Sat. 01/09/21, at about 6:10pm, I entered this store do get help with my phone. I had have been experiencing ongoing problems with my cell phone and my service going back as far as 12/24/20. Calls to Sprint Tech Support did no good, they referred me to Tier Two Tech Support, they inturn sent me to this specific store. (Note- the unidentified store employee would not let me explain this to her)
At the door, I was welcomed into the store by one female employee who remained at the door while I was in the store. As I walk towards the rear of the store, I observed a male employee sitting to the left side and a female employee sitting to the right. The female looked up from her cell phone and said we'll be with you in just one moment. I was the only customer in the store both employees appeared to be on their private cell phones, not a store tablet. I asked the male employee on the left if he was the store manager to which he replied no I am not. I told him well it's probably a good thing you're not because I'm pretty mad right about now because I keep getting told different stories qby the store manager and by every other employee that I speak with be in the store or be at from tech support. About that time the female on the right interrupted and offered to help so I started directing my conversation toward her. When I began to explain to her what my problem was, I barely got five words into the sentence before she started interrupting me and talking loudly. She had the nerve to tell me did I did not have a right to be mad. I was shocked by her response and I told her excuse me? I have every right to be mad as a customer, I am paying for a service that does not work! I have been back to the store numerous times I've been on the phone with tech support for hours all I want is to get my phone working it's a service that I pay for and I'm not getting what I pay for. The entire time she continued to yell at me to the point that she started using profanity. I looked at her shirt and I noticed that she did not have a name tag. I asked her what her name was, she refused to answer. I have learned in dealing with this store's employees before that if you don't know the name of the person you're dealing with, then it's as if you never entered the store to do business with them. Since she was unwilling to give me her name, I took her picture. The female employee then began waving her arms up in the air, screaming and yelling, demanding that I immediately erase her pictures from the phone. She then started threatening me, telling me that she was going to call the police on me, which I welcomed, because I hadn't done anything wrong. She continued to use profanity, sticking her middle finger out at me, yelling that I didn't know what I was talking about because I didn't work there. She then ran into the bathroom and started calling people on the phone; Meanwhile, the male employee sat there and made no attempt to assist me. Eventually the female came out of the bathroom and told me that she had talked with the store manager, named not given, and that according to him, I had to leave the store. I asked her again if she was going to call the police as she had threatened to to, she stated, why would I, they're not going to do anything anyways. I informed her that the reason they weren't going to do anything was because I hadn't done anything wrong! I paid for a service, my cell phone to be working and I'm not getting the service that I pay for. She continued to interrupt me every time I try to explain to her that I had several problems that I needed help with that is why I came into the store. She told me that I could have called customer support and they could have activated my SIM card over the phone. When I tried to explain to her why they could not do it, she continued to yell at me, screaming get out of the store! She then began being demeaning towards me, yelling what is wrong with you are you okay? What is wrong with you? Are you okay? you're not right! Your not right!
I chose to leave the store because none of the three employees, mainly the two that were towards the back of the store, we're willing to do anything to help me. I felt sorry for the young lady that greeted me at the door, she didn't do anything wrong, she was being polite. However the male and the female towards the back of the store did absolutely nothing to help me. A good caring coworker, in this case the male, he should have simply told the female (who refused to give me her name), coworker to take a break, I'll handle this. Then he )should have stepped up to the counter and asked me, sir how may I help you? He could have apologized regarding his coworkers unprofessional inappropriate behaviour and foul mouth, regardless if he meant it or not. The male employee should have defused the entire situation. read more
