I came in to exchange my device for one with more storage and the whole situation turned into way more of a hassle than I thought it would be. If I had known it would be this difficult, I honestly would not have done it.
The employee helping me, Brittany, was rude and visibly annoyed from the start. I felt so uncomfortable that I even asked if I could just change my mind, but I was told it was already too late because they had returned my old phone. The entire interaction made my anxiety skyrocket.
I also had to wipe my phone and the total ended up being more money than I expected. I did not have access to my banking apps since the phone was wiped which caused a delay. Instead of being understanding, Brittany made it very clear that this inconvenience was further annoying her.
To top it off, at the end she turned to her coworker right in front of me and commented that she should have left 30 minutes ago. It felt unprofessional and made the whole experience even more awkward.
I have worked in customer service for over ten years and I would never let my personal feelings show in a way that makes a customer feel this uncomfortable.
Good customer service is not hard and this situation missed the mark completely.

Walked in to buy a TV ... found what we wanted in less than 5 minutes, but we couldn't get anyone to help for another 15 minutes. Only salesperson in TVs was helping a couple decide what they wanted.
Working in retail I get it, but take a brief second to acknowledge others- and call for help.

I feel like Best buy never has the thing I am looking for and since its basically a tech store they are the best chance at finding what you need. However, 9 out 10 times I have to go online to Amazon to find it instead.
