I wish I could put a negative star!
To say I had a horrible experience at this Beretania Street store with Kevin is an understatement!
What happened with Kevin was extremely disappointing and, quite honestly, raised serious concerns for me about integrity and trust. He told us that we needed a tracker in order to upgrade my daughter's phone at the lowest cost. What I later discovered was that he had actually added FIVE trackers to my account, while only telling me that we needed one.
He also told me my bill would only increase by $15 per month for two years. I later discovered that it would actually have increased by $30 per month for three years. I was never given a receipt or documentation for the changes he made to my account, and he even told me that I was not authorized to make changes online to my own account. I told him I pay the bill but I'm not authorized?!? Go figure!!
Kevin also claimed that the upgrade was taking extra long because of all of these "issues" on my account. Looking back, I have serious concerns about the accuracy and transparency of the information I was given.
That is not okay. I trusted that he was helping us get the best deal, only to discover that what I was told was not accurate. If I had known the truth, I never would have agreed to those additional trackers or the terms of the upgrade.
Because of how the situation was handled, I had to spend another two hours of my time that evening and the next day--time that is valuable to me--going into another store and chatting with T-Mobile to get Kevin's actions corrected.
Unfortunately, my experience at the Kunia store wasn't much better. The employee who helped me seemed as though she didn't want to be there and was simply going through the motions of correcting Kevin's mistake. There was no friendliness, empathy, or apology for the situation I was having to deal with. I was already frustrated by what had happened, and the lack of concern from the person helping me only added to the poor experience.
I am grateful that she took care of the issue without pushing back or trying to "save the sale," but I would have appreciated a genuine apology and some acknowledgment of what I had just gone through.
The one bright spot was Sam S., who was extremely helpful, took the time to listen, and ultimately helped rectify the situation. I'm genuinely grateful that I was able to chat with him and get his help.
But I should never have had to spend two additional hours correcting something that happened because of how Kevin handled my account. This wasn't simply a misunderstanding or poor customer service--it was a situation where I was given misleading information, products were added to my account that I did not understand I was agreeing to, and I was not provided documentation of the changes.
T-Mobile needs to do better. Customers should be able to trust that employees are being completely honest, transparent, and ethical about what they are adding to an account, especially when it affects what we pay. What happened with Kevin has significantly impacted my trust in T-Mobile, and therefore I will not recommend the company to anyone else. read more
