Helping with my update on the family iPad
Great service but often get under staffed
Came in for an appointment for a broken phone screen. I had my appointment with Ben and he was amazing! He demonstrated the best customer service while helping me get my information out of my phone before a reset. He was awesome and I am grateful to have met him. Wonderful job Ben from Geek Squad!
DO NOT SHOP HERE.
I went in to purchase a washer and dryer and was assisted by an employee named Marcus. While trying to process a price match, he asked to use my phone so he could check Home Depot’s app. He then walked over to a computer with my phone in hand.
When I approached to see if he had found the item, I noticed he immediately closed my Photos app — where I store private and personal photos of my wife and myself. His reaction made it obvious he had been going through my personal photos without permission.
I confronted him immediately. On the way to speak with management, he began using his own phone, which made me concerned he may have transferred or deleted something.
The manager, Stephen Helsel, showed little concern about the situation or the clear violation of my privacy. Marcus allowed the manager to view his photo gallery, but when I requested to see his “Recently Deleted” folder, he refused and stated he was “not comfortable” doing so.
This entire experience was disturbing, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. Customers should never have to worry about employees accessing private information or personal photos while simply trying to make a purchase.
