I recently lost a great deal because of an employee named Anthony. I was shopping for the Samsung S26 with a trade‑in offer. Anthony assisted me, answered all my questions, explained the offer in detail, and I agreed to proceed specifically with the trade‑in included. During checkout, he failed to add the trade‑in but still asked me to swipe my card, which I did.
Even after the purchase, I asked him again about how the trade‑in works, and he continued explaining it as if everything was correctly applied. However, when I went to pick up the phone, I was told the trade‑in was never added and that I no longer qualified for the offer — the entire reason I made the purchase.
Because of this mistake, I had to return the device immediately. No alternative solution was offered, and I ended up losing the deal entirely due to the employee’s oversight.
Please be cautious and double‑check everything when discussing offers with employees
