So, we all know that Comcast has a reputation for poor customer service, you almost expect to be treated awful when you walk in, you know it is coming so you brace for it. Well, my experience a few weeks ago was no different. I went in a few days prior to get a second cable box, there was not a line so I got in and out pretty quick. The guy (obviously had no idea what he was doing) gave me a really small box and said it was an HD DVR but would share space with my current DVR and be cheaper etc. I was skeptical to say the least. He said he added it to my account, I just needed to go home and plug it in, follow the prompts and then the magic would happen. Alas, it was not that easy. After screwing around with it for over an hour, I called customer service (I cringe at having to call these people) only to find, he never added it to my account and after waiting on hold for what seemed like forever, then to troubleshoot for what seemed like another extremely long time I finally gave up (I am a busy person and have things to do). So, I finally got a chance to stop by a day or two later and the place was packed - seemed that all customers were upset and yelling, the place was a madhouse and the agents and manager (Kevin Saunders) all seemed overwhelmed. When asked if I could just grab another box since I had already wasted hours of my time because of their screw-up I was met with a "get a number and we will call your name" - not impressed with that AT ALL. I hung around the counter and the agent at the front became very hostile. I asked if I could speak to the manager, Kevin finally came out and was absolutley no help, at all, in any way... he was the worst manager I had ever spoken with. Completely unsympathetic or empathetic in any way. It really seemed that the staff got their unwillingness to help and lack of caring from their leader, Kevin. I waited for almost another hour, got my box in about 45 seconds (why Kevin could not have grabbed it and been done is beyond me). If there was ANY other option in the Denver Metro area for broadband internet etc I would use them. Good news is, I am moving soon and will NEVER have to deal with Comcast ever again. This is not only the worst company to deal with but the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. I manage a retail store myself and I know a little something about Yelp and Google reviews so I hope this is taken seriously. Your mistake should not cost the customer, you should seem like you actually care, you could give above and beyond service instead of what you provided and what you provided was typical Comcast service, which is less than 1 star but I that is the lowest I could give. The only joy I will get from Comcast is when I get to return all my equipment in the next 6 weeks and hopefully (please please please) never, ever, ever have to use them, ever again. They are the biggest bunch of clowns, specifically this store and the manager Kevin.
