I rarely post Yelp reviews, however given the grossly unpleasant experience my wife and I encountered yesterday I felt the need to leave a review in hopes that I may persuade other consumers from spending their money at this location.
Walked in for 2 iPhone upgrades, greeted by a male who I guess may have been the manager (unsure of his name). For someone who works in the service industry he did not posses a single ounce of patience, understanding, respect, common courtesy or salesmanship. Proceeded to literally laugh at us when we said we would rather keep our phones than trade them in - like we were complete morons for suggesting something so outlandish. Assumed we already knew everything about the new phone and reluctantly walked us over to the demos to walk us through the new features. When I asked how a certain feature worked on the new phone (because I like it on my current phone) he proceeded to tell me "you don't need to use it on this phone" - dude, it's not a matter of whether I need to, I like to and I want to know if I can. He went on to complain "I guess I can look it up if you want me to".
Basically refused to walk us through other / alternate options despite our reluctance with the new iPhones.his exact words were "you won't like those and they're on back order for a month"- So when we finally decided to purchase them he took it upon himself to also ring up $80 of screen protectors without our approval. We declined the service protection plan and again were freaking laughed at, and told we "were crazy". He basically made it sound like the new phones were made of egg shells and led us to believe touching them would result in a fatal crack - ridiculous bro.
When I asked about what deals they had I was told "no promotions at this time". Ok, cool, I'm fine with that, I thought.... more in this in a second.
So despite the unpleasant and rude demeanor of this prick we still decide to buy the phones - then we're told our out the door total is nearly $500 for tax and the phone screen protectors. I've always managed to have this charge billed monthly and amortized over a few months, but this guy pretended he had never heard of such a thing. At this point I wasn't about to line his pocket with my money so I told him to just cancel the whole transaction and that I'm not spending $500 out of pocket today for 2 phones. Boy did that piss him off "what, are you serious? I already activated the phones and it'll take me hours to re-activate the old ones" - He went on to say. Then he had the nerve to tell me "we have a $40 coupon promotion right now, why don't you let me give you that and you guys just buy the screen protectors on amazon to save some money" (remember previously he told me no such promotion was available?!). At this point I was done and told him to re-activate our old phones. We weren't finished with his snarky remarks yet - he then said "well now you know what to expect next time you think you want to upgrade"
It was NEVER about the money for me. We are happy to pay out of pocket, we're happy to pay a premium for GOOD service. Given the HORRIBLE experience with this clown it's safe to say we are doing our research with other carriers and considering other options. Stay clear of this place if you can. read more
