Today (9/18/2023) I was directed to Home Entertainment and Security for a background check…read moreappointment that I scheduled last week to be a parent volunteer at Hobbs Schools. The parking is minimal out front or there is some side street spots. Inside is a small, no nonsense lobby. I showed up 15 minutes late. One person was still being tended to. It didn't seem like they skipped me to be honest so I didn't fret. Two others were already waiting inside. When I reached the counter, a lone employee - the only one I saw that morning at around 10:30 - told me nicely to sit and wait. All good with me. I can get lots of work done at my fingertips. Lol. When I was finally told to go to the back for my fingerprinting (30 minutes later), I was simultaneously asked where my cell phone was as they do not allow photos, etc. back there. I noticed they play the Eagle 100.5 FM radio station. The deejays really irk me and I can't stand their morning show, but the employee and I both sang a Stone Temple Pilots song in unison. That dang Scott Wieland. I know way too much information now about the guy who fingerprinted me, but he was friendly and did not get awkward about anything during my appointment. He did get noticeably annoyed when another "parent volunteer" for the schools asked more follow-up questions after being told to please have a seat and wait. I don't blame him. The FBI's fingerprint scanner absolutely SUCKS! I know I beat my fingers and hands to hell but I had to rescan at least three times and some of the printing the guy just bypassed. I thought this was 2023 and a first world country for crying out loud. Overall this was way better than going to Central Office at Hobbs Schools because they look nearly half an hour with me last year. This place - aside from the wait behind two other people - took care if me in 10 minutes. Not a bad gig when the schools district paid nearly $60 for my background check! (Imagine the screaming face emoji here.)

Windstream (aka Kinetic by Windstream) is a bit difficult to deal with sometimes, however, they…read morehave been in my experience the best quality and highest-speed Internet service provider in Hobbs, NM. My router crapped out on me, but getting to that determination took almost a week and an actual technician visit to my house. The technician was very respectful and friendly. Chatting with Windstream starts out - per the year 2024 fashion - with a bot. Then you chat with someone who barely makes full sentences sometimes and doesn't clearly explain what they want you to do. At one point I was lost in translation with "router" and "modem" because some are 2-in-1 devices and others are just routers or just modems. After three different attempts to chat with them on their "Go Kinetic" app at varying hours after the problem continued a couple of days later, the chat line divulged a new screen that read "no agents available." Lol. The representative who I spoke to on the phone on 4/12/2024 at around 9AM when they finally decided to answer was also very friendly, but a bit unintelligible at times. She was the one who after a 25-minute diagnosis session created a ticket for a technician to come by my house. If you're having a difficult time finding a tech support hotline, it's 1-800-347-1991. I'm grateful we got it all squared away because I work from home, but getting a hold of them - unless they want me to upgrade - is a bit of a chore.

My 5-star rating is largely in part to Giovanni, retail associate manager. He was available for our pickup and ensured that our trade-in went smoothly. Before I knew it, he also placed the new screen protector and case I just bought on the shiny new mobile. His patience and kindness was greatly appreciated! Much better experience than the one I had when we first moved here.

Carlos was very unprofessional and smelt awfully like marijuana when coming out of his office. The store was busy and he kept himself in the back not wanting to do any work. How can you have a manager that can't even help the store take care of his customers.
