On April 4th 2023, my mother and I visited a T-mobile store. When we walked in, the sales representative, later identified as Michaela the Store Manager, asked us what she could do for us. We informed her that we would like to upgrade my mother's phone to the latest iPhone. I decided that I too would want to upgrade my iPhone and my mother's iWatch. Michaela asked which iphone, I responded the latest they have. She showed us to the iphone section and recommended we trade in our iphones for the latest iphones in the larger size. Then she left us. As we waited, from across the room while she was attending another customer, Michaela asked us which phone we would want in an elevated voice. We told her we would like what she had recommended. Michaela goes to the back and gets a few devices then we go to the counter where the register is. At this time, there was another store representative and other customers. There was a particular customer that wanted to pay a phone bill. He seemed confused about the store he was in. Michaela was short and rude with this customer which happened to be an elderly person, not tech-savvy and confused. Instead of being compassionate, Michaela was totally unprofessional. Michaela shifts her focus back to us and tells us that we must purchase an accessory with the new iphones and that this was an Apple policy. My mother and I were surprised as we have never heard this before. Although we did not need it, to comply with Apple's requirement of purchasing an accessory with the new iphones, we inform Michaela that we would go with an Apple Tag and a pop ring for the two iphones. Then Michaela begins unpacking packages and asks for a credit card. She tells us the total and we pay for my mom's phone and accessory first. After the transaction, Michaela places my mom's new phone by my mom's old phone in front of us. The new phone is not the iphone my mother wanted. We informed Michaela of this and again, she was short, rude and unprofessional- this time towards us. She said there was nothing that could be done besides us paying a restock fee however, we could not get the old phone back, would need to pay for a new phone and we would lose the credit received for the old phone. None of this made sense, especially because it all turned out this way due to the lack of service and attention Michaela provided. Since Michaela said nothing could be done, we believed her (big mistake). We were so dissatisfied with the T-mobile service we received from Michaela, Apple policies (made up by Michaela), and T-mobile policies (made up by Michaela) that I told her we no longer wanted to proceed with my phone upgrade, required accessory or new iWatch. We left the store for about 30 minutes while Michaela transferred the data from my mom's old phone to the new phone. We later returned to pick up the new phone and Michaela said that because the old phone was cracked, we might not receive the credit. Michaela should have inspected the phone prior to the transaction. I asked Michaela for her DM's phone number or email. She said that she could not provide this information. This whole day was a scam. After we left the store, I carefully read the receipt and consulted with a former T-mobile associate. Per the receipt and the former T-mobile associate, we would be able to return or exchange the incorrect iphone we received due to lack of attention from Michaela. The store's DM called me earlier on April 5th 2023 while I was at work. I asked him to call me back after 5pm EST and he did not. When I called him at the number that he called me from, someone else answered from a store which was not a help. So on April 5th, I returned to the store and informed Michaela of what the receipt states. Michaela disregarded what I said and kept referencing back to there is nothing they could do. I step out of the store and call T-Mobile customer service which confirmed that we would be able to exchange the device for the correct one and transfer the credit received to the new phone. I go back into the store and ask Michaela to hear out the T-Mobile customer service representative and available options. Michaela refused. I asked if she could call her DM so her DM could speak with them and she said that her DM was no longer accepting calls although I heard her speaking to him moments ago. She then tells me that I need to leave the store and I tell her, while I am on the phone with T-mobile's customer service (recorded line) that I was doing nothing wrong and need my issue which she caused resolved. While yelling at me, around 7:40pm EST, she told me that she needed to close the store before it got too late because of her safety. I told her that the store does not close until 8pm and she should not be closing the store early. While she is at the door holding it open, she calls someone and tells them in a loud manner that she is going to "pop" me which mean "hit" me in slang language. She also turned away customers in front of the read more
