⚠️ Be very careful when dealing with AT&T representatives inside Best Buy.
We went to Best Buy and were approached by an AT&T representative. We told him 3–4 times that we were not interested in switching from T-Mobile to AT&T, but he continued following us around the store and trying to convince us. Eventually, we agreed to switch because we felt bad and gave in — which was our mistake.
Unfortunately, that's when the problems started.
After switching, we discovered that additional services and protection plans had been added to our account, including TV protection, PlayStation protection, and other services we were never told about or knowingly agreed to. Our first bill was around $450. Absolutely crazy.
It took us more than two months to get the unwanted charges corrected.
We were also told that we would receive $800 in prepaid Visa cards for the two phones we traded in, but we only received one. We were given promises that were not fulfilled.
I'm sharing this so other customers can be extremely careful. Read every single item on your agreement and check your first few bills carefully. Don't assume that everything the representative tells you is actually included or that services haven't been added to your account.
If you tell a salesperson you're not interested and they continue following you around and pressuring you, don't feel obligated to say yes just because you feel bad. It's okay to walk away and, if necessary, ask store security for help.
This was a very frustrating experience, and I hope other people can avoid going through the same thing.
For more than fifteen years this store was a quiet artery running through my days. I moved through its cold fluorescent light without friction, spent freely, and asked only for the thin, ordinary dignity owed a long customer.
Then the manager put a blade to it.
At the return counter the laminate felt unnaturally slick under my palms, slightly sticky where countless receipts had been slid across it. The opened box was pushed back toward me with a small, deliberate scrape. Accusation followed at once, the words landing with the dull, physical weight of a hand closing around the throat. There was no raised voice on my part, no threat, only the sudden knowledge that I was being rewritten as something lesser in real time.
Outside, the asphalt still radiated the day’s heat. Police lights stuttered across the lot while I stood beside a dead vehicle. Radios crackled. Strangers watched. The metallic taste of unearned guilt rose in my mouth as the full machinery of authority settled over me for no reason that any fair mind could later defend.
When I sought redress from corporate, they refused even to examine the cameras that might have shown the truth. They preferred the warmer darkness of the store’s account. Fifteen years of quiet custom were weighed against one man’s word and found lighter than ash.
Then came the trespass notice, a thin sheet of paper that arrived like a boot to the gut. Final. Administrative. Absolute. Loyalty, it turns out, is a soft organ they will cut out the moment it becomes inconvenient.
I left that day with something still open and weeping beneath the skin. The place that had once been merely useful now carried a faint, persistent reek of violation. I can no longer, with any honesty, tell another soul to trust it.
I was in the willow grove store on 8 -16-26 looking for laptops with my friend. Kenzy was our sales associate and was extremely helpful and welcoming from the start. She spent the better part of an hour with us if not more. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with all the questions we had, and we had alot of questions. She took her time, was very detailed and did everything to see us happy. When it came time for payment she offered different options that we were able to take advantage of and get financing. I highly recommend her to all customers, and thank you so so much for making our day with your positivity.
Always come to this store whenever they have something I need. A much better selection then any of the stores in the city.
