There's a corporately owned store in Jones Valley FYI
Ask for Devon. If he's still employed there, leave.
October 31st - Went into the store to trade in two iPhone SE 2020's(currently being paid for with installments) for 2 iPhone 12's(one pro one not). The rep, Devon, was dipping the entire time he helped us. It took longer because he was describing how he had lost another customer's money by entering wrong info into their system, and was making sure he didn't do the same with us. It was busy, so I decided to wait him out. We were offered two options for upgrading the devices:
1 - Pay of the SE 2020's in full for $720-ish and trade them in for a $440 promotional value applied over 24 months towards the new phones.
2 - Trade in the 2020's towards their own outstanding balance, making the payoff balance ~$360, then starting the iPhone 12's fresh.
I opted for door # 2 as it would be only $160 more over the 2 years, but would be $360 less today.
Nov 1st - Devon disagreed I guess and called me letting me know that it wasn't his fault, but I would have to go pay another $360 to his store, BUT IT'S OKAY I'M GETTING THE PROMOTION I DIDN'T ASK FOR. He really stressed, many times, that it wasn't his fault.
I let him know that it wasn't going to fly, and he said he was going to call his boss and call me back in five minutes.
Eight hours later, I get a text from Devon: Verbatim "Hey man I just got a response from my higher up. You can't put it on your bill you will have to go back to the store and pay it"
I asked for said higher up to give me a call. I guess his definition of "higher up" is his customer service trainer. Said trainer started the call with a "here we go" long sigh and then told me that they know he's a problem, it was his fault, and I still have to pay $360. I ask what time they open the next day and he tells me they open at 9. They open at 10. I then ask if there is someone competent that will be there. He says someone competent will be there at 10:30. Seems kind of insulting to whoever was there before 10:30.
Nov 2nd - The competent employee was indeed competent though. It took 30 minutes of sitting in front of the counter at the store while the competent employee talked to exactly one person and had it fixed. It was painless enough to bring a star back to what is honestly a 0 star experience.
Devon called me a few minutes after I left the store to let me know that he had fixed the problem. I let him know that, no he didn't, competent employee did. He then began stressing that he was calling to let me know so I wouldn't have to go up to the store. As if his good intentions would make up for the error, the lack of effort to fix it, the attempt to put me in contact with people who wouldn't get him in trouble, and finally lying to me trying to take undue credit for fixing a problem that he created.
They then offered me a discount on a phone case or accessory for my troubles. They were out of what I wanted. read more
