Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Kinshicho — Attraction in Tokyo

I just needed a SIM card. I chose a contract, and the staff member told me that my phone, which is from 2019, was too old and the SIM card wouldn’t work. He tried to convince me three times to buy a new phone. I refused.

The SIM card works perfectly fine with my phone. This kind of forced phone upselling is pure marketing and promotion.

After that, the staff member said I was required to get a Yodobashi card. Even when I said I didn’t need it, they kept pushing it on me...

In the end, I showed them in GPT that I have every right to refuse this service!!!

I honestly didn’t expect to experience such aggressive sales tactics in Japan. I feel sorry for the people who get pressured into buying lots of unnecessary extra services for a lot of money, being scared, manipulated, and pressured.

It’s awful… I’m never going back...

I spent one hour waiting for service here today, where it seemed that salespeople would avoid me out of fear of needing to use English. I attempted to purchase a tablet, its corresponding keyboard and a stylus pen. When I got home, I found that they sold me the wrong keyboard and I will have to go back tomorrow to attempt to exchange it for the correct one. I hope this isn't the regular standard for service, but as you can understand, I'm fairly unhappy to say the least. I mean I physically pointed out exactly what I wanted, how do you...

I think this is a small but nice electronic shop especially if you live around the Kinshicho area (I use to live around this area and so used this mall all the time.) The first floor had many mobile phone facilities, and the second floor, I recall, is where most of the electronics were located. It's immediately out the exit...
