This is the laziest most unknowledgeable store I have ever been to. This store does not care about…read morehelping you, just about selling products. I wish I had read reviews about them before going in, but I will NEVER use this store again. I wanted to trade in my S8 for a S24. I paid them to transfer the data from my old phone to my new phone. As they were doing the transfer they told me I had too many photos and it would take a long time to do the transfer. They asked me if I wanted to finish the transfer at home. I said sure because I'd already waited an hour for them to do the transfer and it wasn't even halfway done. They showed me how to do the transfer at home, but did not tell me I would need to bring the phone back to get the trade in deal, and I left. This mess up was on me, because I should not have left when I paid for them to finish the transfer. When I went back within the hour because I could not figure out how to get the phones to transfer they told me the transfer had been completed. But when I left they told me it was not done... Do they not know when the transfers are done? Not sure where the miscommunication happened on that one. When I got home my Verizon account said I owed $800. I specifically told the sales associate multiple times that I wanted a phone that would be free with my trade in. After driving back to the store and asking why my account said I owed $800 when I told them I wanted a phone that would be free to me, they then explained that it would remain on my account until I traded in my old phone. Why did no one tell me this when I left with my two phones?? Then, after getting the phone my google started saying I had no available storage. My email is saying I will stop receiving emails in a week. The problem is I have deleted stuff in my Google drive 3 times and it still keeps coming back. I was hoping they could help me with that, but I should have known better than to expect an ounce of care from this store. I learned through the Verizon in Waynesboro that when the Staunton Verizon turned on my phone's backup to transfer things from my old phone to my new phone they transferred EVERYTHING, not just the photos. I then went back to the Staunton store, explained the problems I was having with storage, and all the sales associate I spoke with told me was "that's run through google, we don't know how to do that." I responded with "A Verizon sales associate doesn't know how to turn off backup on a phone?" He responded with "That is run through Google." When I tell you these people are doing the bare minimum I'm not kidding. They also signed me up for Disney Plus and other services without telling me I would have to pay after the first month. If you want people who actually know what they're doing, because clearly the sales associates in Staunton are just there to do the BARE minimum and get as much money out of you as possible, I recommend Verizon in Waynesboro, VA. They actually took the time to try and help me. If there was an option to give 0 stars I would.

the woman who checked me in and helped me was very pleasant and helpful. my phone was not charging…read moreand she diagnosed the problem and provided a fix. I am now fixing my problem thanks to her. I find that the women who try to help are better than the men. thank you for getting me back to using my phone
