I had an appointment, I arrived 20 minutes early they took my phone right in, employee came back and said nothing wrong with phone, I disagreed with him and had call my phone from store phone and he heard my microphone wasn’t working he went to back again with phone, a while later a different guy came back later identified as Justin thourton came back and said my microphone was bad and he would send it off, I told him I couldn’t send my phone off. I came here to get it fixed or swapped. I expressed I was not satisfied with the misrepresentation of being an apple store. I explained to Justin thourton ”the owner” I can’t be without phone, I would now have to go to a real apple store to get my phone swapped out, Justin began to argue that I was crazy that not one apple store in the country would swap your phone. on and on. I asked for the managers name he verbally gave name but when I requested him to write his name and number he refused, I asked for a pen to write down, he became irate and told me to leave his store. As I was walking I stated you shouldn’t treat your customers this way I’m very dissatisfied with the overall customer service and with Justin “the Owner”. I left the store and took a photo of his front door, so I would have the information. I walked a way about 60 feet and I was chased down by Justin “the owner” who was now extremely rude and irate. I again stated my dissatisfaction with his company, customer service and “The Owner”. I expressed that He would not be in business long treating customers this, to which he replied I’ve been in business for ten years!! I ended the conversation seeing it was a pointless conversation at this point. And I walked off. I hope that apple inc. looks at the business and rethinks the authorization of their store. Furthermore I made an appointment at a true apple store for the following Saturday in Baton Rouge, I walked in they took my phone and in ten minutes my phone was evaluated and was swapped on the spot, subsequently the technician broke my phone cover which he replaced and I was out in twenty two minutes with the best customer service you could ask for.
