I am a long time Verizon customer and have always loved this store. I talked my girlfriend into going to this store because in the past my experience has been top-notch. This time was different. The salesman told us he hit the wrong button (Cash during a debit transaction) and proceed to make us go to the ATM to get cash for that amount, instead of voiding the transaction or calling corporate to do it after we left and running my card correctly. Totally unacceptable, not to mention an extra $3 ATM charge.
I made it known I was interested in upgrading my phone as well as my girlfriends phone, when I told him I wanted the Pixel I was bombarded with every negative review I've read on the internet...in person, when I made it clear I still wanted the phone (and appreciated his opinion the first time) I was told I should wait or going with some that has more 'features' even though I clearly said I like the phone with less features (this is just a matter of what certain people like in a phone) and no bloated pre-installed apps. So I took my business elsewhere.
Besides that fact that this guy didn't know how to use a tablet, he pushed his personal opinions on me enough I didn't want to buy anything from him. Terrible salesmanship. Being a software developer I took offense to the way he talked down to my knowledge of technology and that fact he kept asking me to justify my choice of phone was uncomfortable, and unnecessary. Just get me the phone I want dude, leave your personal stuff out of it.
I will never go to this Verizon store again.
P.S. The Blue Springs Store got me the phone and upgraded in less than an hour and never gave me lip for wanting the Pixel.
