@mcmenguc @CiaraNi this all happened when I went to the Apple store. Had to join a virtual queue for 40 mins to buy an iPhone. They then didn't have it in stock and told me to buy on my own phone, that was broken!
I went to Jb-Hi and got real customer service.

@dean It is just infuriating to turn up in person in a shop or at a business and be told to do everything online anyway. Am glad you at least had a good customer experience afterwards at the other vendor.

@dean @CiaraNi we were able to convince the #Apple store manager to sell us a #MacBookAir eventually without making an online appointment. But one of my worst experiences of this sort was at a #verizon where we waited over an hour before they told us they couldn’t give us a phone contract because they had no operating phone line at the time. They had no landline in the store and they had no cellular service in their own store!

@mcmenguc @dean That's really something, no functioning phone line in their own phone shop!

@CiaraNi @mcmenguc @dean It's no longer possible to call my CVS pharmacy and talk to a pharmacist. It all goes to a voicemail they never check because they are understaffed. Somehow this is to "serve [me] better".

@PressTheButtons This has become too common. As have phone menus where you spend 5-10 minutes just listening to 'choices' and pressing 1 and then 7 and 5 and inputting customer numbers before you get near a human, all the while being interrupted by a robot voice reading their doubleyou doubleyou doubleyou website-address to you, as if you hadn't thought to look for the answer to your question there first.

That's gonna be a hard no from me, if you don't have phone service in your own store, why do I believe you're giving me phone service?

It'd be like going to McDonald's and being told to order through DoorDash because they don't have meat.
