They are normally clean and modern but when you are in there it is like you are being coated with a trash film. Is it the groups of customers slobbing around trying to figure how how they can finance their next phone for low monthly payments since they can’t afford to buy it outright? The impression that the company is trying to hustle you?

Sounds like the location you go to is in a low income area

With AT&T you can order online and have it delivered to your house same day* for free. Skip the store all together.

*They say it is same day, but mine took a couple to get. It was right around Christmas though, so they may have been busier than normal.

Bought a new phone online for the wife the other day. When I went to check out it and choose shipping one of the items was I could
Pick up today. Great, I’m not busy so I can swing by and pick up this small box with no hassle. I’ve already paid for it. Just show my is and I’m good to go, right? Wrong? I had more paperwork to do than from when I bought my house. Them trying to sell me everything under the sun. Finally said “look, I understand you have to try to up sell me everything but I don’t want anything. Just the phone.”

There is usually a certain section of society in there trying to haggle down the clearly stated prices. As stated, I just order mine online.
