Awful. Got there at 5:15 pm- 2 people ahead of us- by 7:00 pm we were still waiting. Store closes at 8- at 7pm they are still checking people in to wait. They had NO intention of helping us that night. None! 3 staff members asking all people waiting if they had checked in? Really? I will never go to that store again.

My husband and I recently visited this Verizon store because we were thinking about switching from AT&T. We weren’t ready to make the move that day — we just wanted more information. The representative who helped us, a woman wearing a hijab, was extremely pushy and kept trying to sell me the new iPhone even after I explained multiple times that we weren’t switching that day and that I didn’t want the new phone.
We eventually decided to switch to Verizon the following week. The process went okay overall, but she didn’t take the time to explain things to us, and I ended up giving in and getting the new iPhone. That meant I had to wait a few days for the phone to arrive.
When we went back the next Friday to cancel streaming services and remove insurance, she came up to us and said, “What are you doing here?” — which I thought was very rude. She then told us she had been planning to waive our activation fees and that we should’ve come back to her for that. She never mentioned that before. She told us she only works weekends and to come back the next Friday so she could take care of it.
When we came back the next week, she again said, “What are you doing here?” I reminded her of what she had told us, and she claimed it should have already been fixed and to just check our bill. We went back and forth, and I asked to speak with a manager. She disappeared to the back for about 10–15 minutes. While waiting, we noticed the fees were indeed being waived, but I still wanted to speak to a manager about her attitude.
While waiting, I also spoke with another customer who said they were unhappy with the service too — apparently another employee told her, “Then do it,” when she said she was thinking of switching carriers.
When the manager finally came out, I explained how I’d been addressed and treated. The representative denied saying those things, even though there were multiple witnesses.
Overall, I don’t recommend working with her at all. She seriously needs customer service training — being dismissive, rude, and dishonest is not how you treat paying customers.

I rarely write reviews, but this time I absolutely have to!
My phone number was completely deleted, and I went to four different Verizon stores nearby for help. Sadly, each one just told me to go home and call customer service on my own. I was honestly very disappointed and frustrated.
Then I came to this store — and that’s when everything changed. I met Jonathan, who immediately stood out with his professionalism, kindness, and patience. He took the time to call Verizon customer service together with me, and stayed by my side for almost five hours. Even when the store was about to close, he promised to follow up the next day.
Because my case was so complicated, it actually took three full days to resolve. But Jonathan never gave up. He kept following up, communicating with the support team, and making sure I was updated every step of the way.
In the end, thanks to his persistence and dedication, my phone number was successfully restored!
Jonathan is honestly the best representative I’ve ever met — professional, caring, and incredibly responsible. People like him make a huge difference. He truly deserves recognition, and I’ll always remember how much he helped me.
He truly is the best salesperson I’ve ever met, and I believe he will always be that brightest shining star wherever he goes✨
Thank you so much to Jonathan and this amazing store. You turned an impossible situation into a success! 🙏🌟
