    T-Mobile Tuesday Seat Cushion (08/27/24). @TMobile @HawaiiKaiTowneCenter #HawaiiKai #Oahu #Hawaii
    Jeff B.

    (Visited 08/27/24 TU @ 11:00am): Odd to think that T-Mobile's been part of my life for over 20 years! I came across T-Mobile's Hawaii Kai location because I was on the island handling some family business, and it just so happened that the company's "T-Mobile Tuesday" weekly event was having an in-store promotion giveaway. I've enjoyed this marketing campaign for several years and have collected a menagerie of branded items that showed my love for the company whom I've been a devoted customer since the early 2000s when Catherine Zeta-Jones reeled me in as my first and only cellular provider and the then very cool Motorola StarTac flip-phone. Certainly, proximity was the main driving force behind this particular brick-and-mortar as it was mere minutes' drive away. Whenever I was in town, would this location fit all of my mobile needs to a tee!? PURCHASE Stadium Seat Cushion (FREE): The company's vivid magenta brand color wrapped this square 1/2"-thick tush padding with a football design. A nice item to show customer appreciation and drive foot traffic into the stores. However, after a few uses, I'd imagine the fluffiness would be nearly gone. Unfortunately, no actual purchase was made on my very first visit here, but at least now I knew there was one close by! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=O3kgOtcj1RUqviCfJQy1IA SERVICE I was greeted by a very friendly and jovial young man outside in front of the store with a proper table that had stacks of seat cushions. I showed him my app that had the coupon to redeem for one item, pressed the "redeemed" button, and I was quickly handed my prize! We chatted a bit while I assisted him to answer a cruise question from a fellow customer (I was very informed on this topic!). I also went inside the store to see what new items there were and searched for a replacement OtterBox for the broken one currently on my phone. Sadly, they didn't have the right model, but the two young male staffers recommended I check the vendor's website or even Amazon - mahalo! PARKING (FREE) Located within the Hawaii Kai Towne Center, there were plenty of stalls - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A rather small boxy space fully maximized with a central service counter and all of the various merchandise displayed neatly on pegs and shelves along the walls with some standing displays throughout. As you could imagine, hung on the walls were several advertisements and promotional posters. Plenty of natural lighting came in through the front doors and windows while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor any background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I honestly didn't have many expectations with Hawaii Kai's T-Mobile location, but what I was able to do and the ease I was able to do it, I had no problem with future visits if necessary. It was a shame they didn't carry an older OtterBox model because I was ready to buy one, but I completely understood why. Although I didn't buy anything, I suspected the prices were consistent across the entire chain except for taxes, and the service was on-point from the three folks I dealt with. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    It's Tuesday!! T-Mobile team knows what that means...what's app!! With Earth day fast approaching T-Mobile has this Tuesday offer one that many seemed to have flocked over to nab...a reusable cooler bag, I usually dash over our neighboring store for a quick pick up but awesome offers like this seem to fly out fast which it did. I tried a couple other places without luck before I started calling and guess what this Hawaii Kai location still had some left woohoo!!! This giant classic T-Moble pink colored bag is just perfect as the ones I've been using needed replacing really bad so it came in at the perfect time and I'm super excited to show it off. The staff here is always very friendly and helpful even with just a simple question I never have any issues, the shop here is quite small though it doesn't matter as the deals here are huge, I've been faithful to them for years and loving the bonus offers given every Tuesday. Thank you!

    Associate JP quickly resolved a technical phone issue and answered additional questions about dad's phone. Air-con cool store. Friendly immediate welcome and quick help. Good sound system. I'm noticing how convenient T Mobile is, in that they are located at so many popular Honolulu shopping areas, but also at so many cities in the mainland that I have been to travelling to this year. So convenient and staff so helpful. Lucked out and was never kept waiting. Also like their Tuesday giveaways.

    I was a Tmobile customer for a long time. Switched over to AT&T and it has been one of the worst…read moredecisions of my entire life. Crappy service, slow data, nickle and dimed for everything. Poor customer support on the phone and I always need to go into a store after speaking to a rep for over an hour. If you are thinking of switching carriers be warned!!! AT&T is horrible. I am locked in for 36 months and I dont want anyone else to have to suffer through what Im going through. If you travel internationally, their roaming plan sucks. If you prefer apple care and want insurance, it is very different from Tmobile. I am only able to do a group insurance that covers only a couple phones at a time. It CRAP. No apple care. I highly discourage the switch to AT&T.

    am honestly shocked at how terrible the customer service was. All I wanted to do was simply return…read morea phone case, and somehow it turned into an unnecessarily frustrating ordeal. I originally purchased the case at the Ala Moana location. Before I left, I specifically asked the employee who helped me if I could return it at ANY location without the account/contract holder being present. He clearly told me YES, any store could process the return. I went to the Kahala location first and was told, "Sorry, you can't return this here." So I then drove all the way to the Kapahulu location just to make this simple return. When I walked into the Kapahulu store, there were THREE employees working, and not one of them acknowledged me for at least 20 minutes. No "Hi," no "We'll be right with you," nothing. I just stood there waiting while being completely ignored. When someone was finally available, Kaylee helped me. I explained that I simply needed to return the phone case. Without even checking anything, she immediately told me she couldn't return it without the contract holder's ID. I explained that I purchased the case separately. Then suddenly the reason changed -- now she said she couldn't refund me because there was a discount on it. At that point, it honestly felt like I was just being given excuse after excuse and the runaround because she simply did not want to process the return. She made absolutely no effort to even TRY to help until it turned into an argument. And after arguing for several minutes, what happened? Kaylee simply ran my card and processed the refund. That was it! So clearly it COULD be done the entire time. I cannot believe I had to drive to multiple locations, stand around for 20 minutes without even being acknowledged, be given multiple excuses, and then ARGUE with an employee just to get a simple refund that ultimately took seconds to process. PLEASE, some customer service! A simple "Let me see what I can do" would have gone a long way. Customers should not have to ARGUE with employees just to get them to attempt to help. Absolutely terrible and disappointing experience.

I understand that businesses get busy and that unexpected issues happen, but there is absolutely no excuse for leaving customers waiting this long with little to no communication. At a certain point, you start wondering if anyone actually cares that you're there. You make the effort to come in, set aside your time, and wait patiently, only to sit there watching the clock while nothing happens. If there is going to be an extremely long wait, the least Spectrum can do is be upfront about it and communicate with customers instead of leaving them completely in the dark. What makes it even more frustrating is that customers are essentially forced to waste a huge portion of their day just to get basic assistance. People have jobs, appointments, families, errands, and other responsibilities. Our time matters too. Spectrum shouldn't expect customers to simply sit around indefinitely because their system or staffing can't keep up with demand. I honestly cannot understand how this is considered acceptable customer service. Waiting an unreasonable amount of time should not be treated as normal, especially when customers are paying for the service in the first place. Spectrum needs to seriously rethink how it handles customers and wait times. Better staffing, better communication, and a basic level of respect for customers' time would go a very long way. I left this experience feeling completely frustrated and disappointed. The service itself is one thing, but customer service is a huge part of the overall experience. When a company makes you feel like your time means absolutely nothing, it makes you seriously question why you're giving them your business in the first place. Do better, Spectrum. Customers deserve better than this.
