I have NEVER enjoyed going into a communications store before, and likely never will because when your phone goes out and you need one right then and there, that's a pretty shitty feeling, you know,? And that's the only time I ever go into one, because jeez, who likes having to learn a new device or sitting there while they transfer all your worthless crap to a new phone?! Nobody, that's who.
So it happened that my Droid crapped out after a mishap on a saturday evening, and I NEEDED my phone. So I took it to this store hoping that they would be able to fix it, but I was prepared to move to another device if needs be. There is a sign-in procedure that I was completely ignorant to, but after waiting a few minutes, someone finally asked if I had signed in and she did it for me.
Soon after that, a rep was with me and I told him flat out that I needed an operable phone like... NOW and after determining that my old Droid was not going to work after a cracked screen, I was prepared to upgrade anyway. He didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. He told me my options for getting my hands on a phone RIGHT now and I chose. I had already decided that I was going to upgrade to the newest model of the Turbo and after a few quick questions that are important to my device usage, I was sold and he had me up and running in a VERY short period of time.
Dude seemed knowledgeable about the products they sold (though, I only recently discovered that Verizon offers one free screen replacement on my old Turbo, but I didn't know that at the time, and it seems that likely, they didn't either) and was very professional when he realized I had a past due balance on my bill, which I paid right then because I forget about it all the time. He was quick to set up the new phone, get it rolling and I was in and out the door in just under an hour. For my experiences with a phone store in the past, that's not too bad.
Now I just gotta go back and see what they know about this free screen replacement on my old device cuz there is a WHOLE LOT of worthless crap on that phone that I simply cannot live without and I need it ASAP! read more
