Hi Folks, Welcome to the"New" T-Mobile on the 2nd floor of the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, NY.
For several months this store had been under renovations. As a result the whole store was reduced to just a small kiosk, and was placed in the middle of the floor of the Mall. I was initially attracted to the friendliness of the staff, as they were nice enough to interact with me and answer my questions.
I actually was deciding to move away from T-Mobile as a result of some harsh words from a "corporate manager" at a different location.
WHAAT !! Jim ? Yes, I had been a T-Mobile customer for over 5 years. I have 5 handsets and spend over $400+ a month, (EVERY month). I thought I was a good customer. But...
Following some horrific comments from THAT corporate manager (in a different location) ...
I FROZE all my "JOD" upgrades and peripheral spending, the purchasing of ANY new items and I did not patronize any brick-and-mortar T-Mobile locations for over 6 months.
Despite contact with corporate I never received any apology. I was truly ready to leave.
Today, I decided to see if the renovations had been completed at that "other" T-Mobile store with those friendly employees. After years of a business relationship, I wanted to give T-Mobile one more chance.
Walking inside this big, bright, beautiful new corporate location, I was immediately impressed. I was greeted with all smiles right away by their friendly, and helpful employees. That makes the money spring right out of my pocket. Cool!
I was helped by 2 employees, The Manager, Yoly and Mobile Expert Jenny. They were wonderfully patient listening to my previous experience. Wow, they made apologizes for that other managers terrible words. Even though they had nothing to do with that incident in another store miles away. I was quite impressed by this professionalism. Then they really raised the bar and answered all of my questions, "some quite technical". Their technical expertises were wonderfully perfect. I felt like a valued customer once again.
Great !!
I reward professionalism with my purchases... I'll take THAT.. that..THAT..and this!
Here's the credit card.
I was so pleased with my brand new Note 10 plus which just came out the other day. My technical experts explained every little thing about my new phone. They went out of their way to find the "LAST"case that would fit this handset they had in stock. Suggested the new Samsung buds. So nice and Sleek they come in a little mini case which acts as a charger too. The sound quality was incredible, I thought my stereo was on and had to check it. I love small discrete earpieces especially effective in my security profession. They were so cool in the mini charging case. Wearing them, I felt like James Bond.
My T-Mobile experts transferred all of my my apps and pictures and helped me reinitialize them all. They hooked up the new earbuds and gave me some additional advice to enrich my enjoyment experiences. I thought I was Mr T-Mobile, but they told me some new cool stuff that I didn't even know. And to top it off, I got a T-Mobile hat on the house. (Wifey will certainly steal this)
Yes T-Mobile, I was tickled pink! Soo happy, pampered and treated like a respected, valued customer. Yesss !
Almost not fair! Treat me good and I'll spend a lot of money.
So why not 5 stars here then? Unfortunately, I wasn't eligible for the buy one get one free on the handset and I did not receive any discounts even though I spent quite a bit of money. Teaches me to buy more online where there are discounts.
Now That I Found a T-Mobile that I can feel confident with, I'll probably be back with my other 4 units to jump them all up to the newer models. But again my rush to do it is tempered by the not being eligible for any discounts. Now instead upgrading my other handsets immediately, I have to look around for my best price options.
Thank you again for your help, I love my new phone. read more
