Purchased an accessory online as a gift for one of my nephews, website said it would be ready by 10am, had a pretty free morning, waited around... nothing. called at 1pm was told to wait for a minute while they find it and within a minute it became ready for pickup. Got to the store to pick it up, was given an open box. When I brought it up to their attention they said that it was on sale because it's an open box, even though I purchased a new product online. Raul who was not a part of my transaction kept jumping in with smart remarks mentioning that if he received an open box as a gift he would be very happy with it, and that it was on discount because it was opened. Meanwhile, another employee in the peanut gallery chimed in that they often arrive opened directly from Apple. Lots of peanut gallery comments in this interaction while the person helping me was checking for another case. Asked for them to just return and refund as I'm really not a fan of the smart ass comments, one of the guys working offered to swap for a different color, I declined and they proceeded to attempt a return. It was just an attempt though as they claimed that their system would allow the return but it was not going through. They told me they could mail me a check weeks later but refund to PayPal was not possible. The person who was now working with me offered again to swap to a different color, at this point I just want to leave this place and their poor customer service so I accept the swap. Forward 20 min they can't do that either (not sure why they offer something more then once before seeing if they can even do it). Ended up there for over an hr and a half with one employee calling core and being cold transferred between departments and what seemed like an AI service agents. I'm glad I'm not a Verizon customer, it seems like this was a regular thing for people who place orders but aren't active customers. Overall Verizon is exactly what comes to mind when u think of bad customer service along with piss poor back end systems so that when you buy things from Verizon the back and system is too incompetent to be able to reverse or refund a transaction. I smell a class action lawsuit possible here but that's none of my business. lol. Ended up wasting an hour and a half, going to just dispute on PayPal and let Verizon recover their product. Worst case, it was a lesson which cost me more in time and patience then anything else. PLEASE STAY AWAY from Verizon if you are not a wireless customer of theirs.

Formal Complaint Regarding Employee Misconduct at Apple Oak Brook Mall…read more I am submitting this formal complaint regarding the conduct of Heather L. Bryson, an employee at the Apple Store - Oak Brook Mall, during my visit on February 24, 2026. I have been an Apple customer for nine years, and I have never experienced treatment of this nature at any Apple location. Summary of Incident I approached the store with a simple question regarding my AirPods case: whether the case could be repaired or replaced, as the pods themselves still function. Heather initially responded that Apple "can't do anything" and suggested I contact a third‑party repair service. When I asked for clarification on why a corporate Apple Store could not provide repair options or guidance, Heather became visibly upset. She refused to provide: * Her name * A business card * Contact information for store management * Information for Apple Corporate * Access to a technician who could explain repair or mail‑in options Her refusal escalated into outright hostility. When I attempted to calmly escalate my concern to a manager, she repeatedly told me to leave the store instead of providing the requested information. Escalation and Physical Contact During this exchange, an unidentified male wearing a hoodie and hat -- who did not appear to be an Apple employee -- aggressively bumped his chest into me and attempted to physically remove me from the store. Only afterward did another employee inform me that this individual was "security." His behavior was unprofessional, aggressive, and completely disproportionate to the situation. I informed staff that I would wait for police to arrive so the situation could be documented. Despite this, Heather continued yelling "Leave" and prevented another employee from assisting me or even hearing my concerns. She then called the police -- not mall security -- simply because I requested escalation to management and corporate. Concerns of Discrimination I believe Heather's behavior was discriminatory. I made it clear I was willing to leave once she provided the appropriate corporate or managerial contact information. Instead, she escalated the situation, involved police unnecessarily, and contributed to me being banned from the mall and arrested -- all over a request for clarity on an AirPods case repair. Her conduct was unprofessional, hostile, and inconsistent with Apple's customer service standards. With a respectful approach, this interaction could have resulted in a sale, as I was open to purchasing a new pair of AirPods if repair was not possible. Documentation I have obtained the FOIA records for the entire incident, including police documentation. I intend to make my experience public and pursue any appropriate legal action regarding discrimination, negligence, and the mishandling of a long‑standing Apple customer. Requested Action I am requesting the following: * A formal review of Heather L. Bryson's conduct * Clarification on Apple's policies regarding customer escalation and repair inquiries * Contact from Apple Corporate or Executive Relations * Confirmation of whether the security individual involved was contracted by Apple and whether his conduct aligns with Apple's standards This experience was unacceptable and deeply concerning. I am asking for Apple to address this matter promptly and professionally.

I don't have Wi-Fi!!!! ??? What is this going to do for me, it has no value! I told you I didn't have Wi-Fi the last time I called support. But no, there is no language Gap and everyone at any location under support team has the ability to support me the same . And they don't have the ability to transfer me to someone in America . I would be ashamed if I was you ! I had another seizure and I I'm lucky that I was able to call 911 on my other phone because I couldn't do it with yours. It is ridiculous that you won't let me out of this contract. I'm going to make as much noise about this online as I possibly can because at this point it's just disturbing. There's something wrong with you, that you could treat me like this after so much time could I have been a loyal customer. I have spent probably 16 hours on the phone with support in less than a year, and I have gotten absolutely no where. This makes me sick and disgusted. I have told you multiple times that I am newly disabled and don't have enough money to pay for your service and cell phone as well as an additional phone and service that actually has signal . You obviously don't listen or care. I didn't know you were that money hungry of a company. If I would have known you were like this I would have never since your service from the beginning.

So, I have a unique perspective on the customer experience and what it takes for a business to provide consistent excellence in service. The Microcenter store in Westmont is beyond exceptional! The commitment showed by the staff to treat their guests well goes far beyond most typical retail locations. I visit often and feel so valued as a customer. Having been in the industry for so long, most in multi store management, I observe different aspects of the experience when I'm personally shopping stores. And at Micro Center Westmont, I observe a clean, well-organized store with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable team members who have a genuine interest in ensuring their guests are treated well. Far too many positive personal examples from my many visits to share, but the consistency is truly admirable. Now do they occasionally make a mistake or does something not go as planned? Of course! If it didn't they wouldn't be human beings as we all make mistakes, right? But I am so impressed with how hard the team works to correct those issues, big or small. The prices are fair, the price matching policy is very good and the return policies are exceptional. Micro Center is ALWAYS my first choice for tech and it's due mainly to the dedicated staff at the store who go above and beyond. If you've never been to a Micro Center, I'd highly suggest the Westmont location. Like me, you'll probably become a customer for life!

So I start looking around for someone to help me. 5 min passed and not one employee was available to help. Not one. So I decided I'll go find the splitters in the meantime, found one that I needed but other one was evading me. This time I go around the store looking for someone to help me out. Finally gave up and asked an employee to help me out after they finished with their current customer. The kid wasnt even looking in my direction just nodded his head. I had every single item i needed in my Amazon cart, but I still chose to drive here to give them my business. A few minutes of waiting, I just put back whatever I picked up and left. Ordered it on Amazon instead right there in the store. Employees here don't want to help, you can walk miles in that store before anyone will even bat an eye. I don't recommend this place at all. Far from what it used to be.
