I when in to buy a new iPhone to replace my iPhone 6, which is outdated to say the least. I spoke a day earlier, to make sure they have plenty of iPhone 13's available. The sales manager who was helping us, told me he had blue, black, or pink iPhone 13's. I said I'll take blue or black, just not pink, because it's not really a guys color, right? So after waiting approximately 10 minutes for them to get it out of the safe, he comes out of the room and tells me he only has pink. That really frustrated me, after I thought for sure I was getting it in black or blue, and that it wouldn't be a problem. He got my hopes up, and then crushed it. He then told me, the other peoples next to me, got the last blue one. The people I noticed, who couldn't make up their mind on what color or phone they want. I saw they brought several phones for them to look at.
All this got in my head, and pissed me off. I let the sales manager who was working on it know about it, and he got angry with me. So angry, that he let another salesperson take over, without even saying anything about it. He treated me unprofessional, and was in all honesty, a lazy salesperson to begin with. He could have easily prevented me from being upset, if he would have done his job properly, and the more I thought about it afterward, the more I realized what he could have done, despite me turning into a jerk temporarily. Like he could have told me I'm not sure what colors are available until I open the safe, but we the colors come in blue, black, or (light) pink.
Of course I could have waited several days to get a color besides pink, but I didn't want to wait. I wanted the phone that day, like I think most of us would, because that's the whole reason I went over there with my wife. Anyway, getting back to the sales manager, he was never apologetic or try to soften the blow. Also he was never helpful or informative to me. I don't know much about the new iPhones, and he never explained anything about it. Neither did his other salesperson. He could have not only explained to me about the iPhone 13, but he could have explained the iPhone 13 Pro, and the difference. I might have even bought it for $100 more, but he never tried to sell me it. He just told me the price when I asked. Mind you I'm going from an iPhone 6 to an iPhone 13, which is a big difference, and it has a lot of new features and changes. They never were intuitive to pick up on that.
The other big thing they should have done, is tell me the pink color isn't really a strong pink. After I really took a good look at it, when I got home, you can barely tell it's pink. It's a very light pink, almost a white pink. Also I know I'm going to put a case cover on it, so the color won't really matter much. If I were a T-mobile salesperson I would have emphasized this, and would have made the customer such as myself, at ease. These guys don't know how to do their job well, and that's why this problem escalated. Btw, I apologized more than once to the salesperson who took over, but he wasn't having it. He just barely did the requirements of his job. I had to ask all the questions about the phone, and he helped, only when I asked. I'm like "Is there anything I need to know about this new phone compared to mine" and he's like not really. Really? Yes, there's quite a lot to know about. So if you already know about iPhone 13's, and they have your phone and color, then it should be a breeze for you. If you want full customer service, and pleasant customer service, with a lot of information, I suggest you go elsewhere. read more
