I recently bought a new phone. The staff seemed knowledgeable, but they really didn't know what they were talking about. I asked if a model took an SD card, and the manager confidently told me it did. It was hard for me to tell with the phone locked into the anti theft mechanism. It wasn't until he rang me up (an expensive purchase)...that he realized it did not take an SD card. The employees tell me that I can store stuff in the cloud. Of course, I can store stuff on the cloud, I am aware. My question before purchase was NOT if I "can store stuff on cloud?". My question before purchase was; "does it take an SD card?". My new phone phone also felt immediately hot to the touch upon turning it on at the counter. When I pointed out how hot the phone was (like battery was over heating), the manager assured me it was just "heat from his hands." This phone has had 3 instances where it felt hot to touch.
When I went back into the store to talk about issues I had with purchase, the employees were very (SNL not yet ready for prime-time players, Lilly Tomlin). "We are the phone company. We don't care. We don't have to." So due to the staffs overconfident lack of knowledge about the limited amount of product they sell; I am now stuck with a product that does not function they way I needed it to.
I would recommend going to a different store front for your...
Read moreI went to Trader Joe's today and for how packed it was, it still was a fun trip. I always love coming here. I don't see many angry or impatient people here. It's a really cool store with a theme for crying out loud. Samples too. I mentioned this to my father in law who had never been until he went with us and the kids. He made a dash for the coffee and compared it to another expensive coffee place out there. (...who DOESN'T burn beans.) My MIL got the meatless beat burgers that are way better than the beyond burgers with added binders that have always made me backed up and feeling like I have a rock in my gut. They have mini mint (not a typo) chocolate cookies that are only 2 bucks a box, and rival the ones those adorable scouts sell outside stores. But now we are on cookies which they have too many to mention. You'll have to go or you'll never know what...
Read moreHas Petco, Vandorm realty, Trader freaking awesome Joes, Wells Fargo, Buffalo Wild Wings, Barnes and Noble... All the stores I have visited are great. The parking? Not so awesome. Only 2 ins and outs. One is a left turn only... lots of cars. The wells Fargo parking is even worse... the week I moved to Olympia I went to Barnes and Noble to get a bday gift and my car was hit in the parking lot. The driver tried to leave but others in the parking lot wrote notes and left them on my car and pretty much walked him in to Barnes and Noble to report the collision (which was a major one running up the entire side of my passenger side from his pickup truck that didn't fit in the...
