Avoid this Best Buy and the management. Rude, hateful and I will never go back. This used to be one of the best customer service and friendly places to go, when Christy leaves maybe it will improve.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service from Mella!
I had an excellent experience at Best Buy in Gastonia, and I especially want to recognize Mella for her outstanding customer service.
She helped me locate the right case for my new phone and then went above and beyond by helping me install it. It was her first time working with my particular type of phone, but what impressed me most was how she handled it. She carefully followed the instructions step by step, took her time to make sure everything was done correctly, and explained what she was doing throughout the process.
Mella was professional, patient, confident, and genuinely interested in helping me—not just making a sale. Those qualities are becoming harder to find in customer service.
Best Buy leadership should take note of this young lady. Based on my experience with her, I see tremendous leadership potential in Mella. Employees who are willing to learn something new, communicate clearly, and make sure the customer leaves satisfied are exactly the kind of people companies should invest in and develop for future leadership roles.
Thank you, Mella, for making my visit such a positive experience. Best Buy Gastonia is fortunate to have you on the team!
The young woman tried to justify the $30 charge to transfer info from my phone to a new phone. I have to stand there and watch the phone, it takes me away from talking to someone else, etc, etc.
