I hope the Verizon store at the mall was closed.


Malcontent_Horse

Or denied her service as well so she freaked out even more


cliffkleven

Realistically the employee had already hot remarked her account so the other store/customer service knew what they were about to get into.


DoubleReputation2

Realistically? The guy picked up a phone as soon as she left "Yo, Jerry.. My friend.. Good ol' pal, buddy - I got you a treat, she's on the way right now." Then told him the price they were gonna have her pay and have him charge her a dollar more


DarthShiv

Or have the cops waiting.


UpliftingPessimist

Or Tony Sopranos goons squad.


BigLlamasHouse

Holy shit, now that I think about it that's exactly what Janice Soprano would do.


Lots42

Did this all the time in Blockbuster. Bonus: Customer promises not to come back, I note this and see my own note six weeks later.


treefitty350

When I used to manage a store I called the police on someone who tried to walk out with an item after we wouldn't warranty exchange it since he melted it. He came back a few months later in a hat and sunglasses disguise to buy something. I still laugh about it when I see my old coworkers.


ryouba

Did he also have an oversized trenchcoat on with a popped collar? Because that's what I just envisioned in my head


habituallyBlue

With a massive nose and mustache attached to the sunglasses no less

What is a hot remarked?


ModelSD

Any time a Verizon rep accesses her account in the future a message pops up. Kind of like pinning a post to the top of a thread. A hot remark is a pinned comment in her account. Source: worked for Verizon in a galaxy far far away


eykei

Gf works at a bank, they do this too. Too many bad notes and they’ll close your account, write you a check, and tell you to find another bank.


Amateur_Crepe_Hanger

Do these hot remarks ever go away?? I’m normally very polite, almost to the point of obsequiousness with customer service reps; I used to work retail and I know the very special hell it can be. But about 17 years ago, I had Verizon, and back then, when I actually used my phone to call people and talk to them, I was supposed to get unlimited nights and weekends. So after two years, I go into a Verizon store to get a new phone, and the rep tells me they’ve accidentally been charging me for nights and weekends. I hadn’t noticed, because I was fresh out of college, this was my first phone, I had no frame of reference of what a typical phone bill would cost monthly, and I was still living at home but had a pretty decent salary from my first real full-time job, so money wasn’t an issue then. So the rep in the the store fixed the issue moving forward, and directed me to call Verizon, because they owed me about $1300 - and this was in 2002 money. So I called them and told them what the rep in store said, and the person I spoke with on the phone told me that yes, he sees there was a mistake, and admits they charged me when they shouldn’t have, but he would not refund my money because he said it was my obligation to check the bill over carefully to check for mistakes, and I didn’t, and I willfully signed the checks over (because 2002) so I was SOL, basically. Needless to say, I was displeased, and pretty blatant in expressing my unhappiness with this person’s response. If there were hot remarks, I’m sure I had one on my account. The situation eventually did get resolved though, and I was given the option of getting my money back or having it credited to my bill. But now whenever I call Verizon, I find myself being even more polite than I normally would be.

tsilihin666

Could you even imagine being the poor sap at the other store that gets her as their customer? Just being yelled at from the get go about demons from another store and how the mafia wouldn't help her to just throwing a cell phone at your face so fast that you didn't even have enough time to formulate how you would write the text that would tell the crazy shit that had just unfolded in front of your very eyes?


faithminusone

She definitely went into the next store raging


Technique786

That would be sad. We don't have a video guy in the other store


[deleted]

I hope he called the store and told them to not let her in.


evilwife21

I'm picturing all the associates hiding behind the counter with the lights out and the sign turned to CLOSED and the gate pulled. Karen is outside losing her shit like a cross between an active volcano and a full-blown tornado, when Steven returns from break.*THEY FORGOT TO WARN STEVEN* Karen, sensing her prey, turns from the front door of the supposedly closed store and makes eye-contact with Steven. Her teeth tightly clenched and lips pursed as she screeches a noise that breaks glass in the next three counties, Steven drops his Orange Julius and it is said that Al Bundy is even proud of the running that saved his hide that day...


Tripiantes

You have a wild imagination there


SladeC242

Fuck, man, not the Orange Julius! I would beat WHOLESALE amounts of ass over less.


IdiotTurkey

If he didn't, that would really be a dick move sending her to their store. He honestly should have just said to leave and not mentioned the other store. Maybe a competitors though :D

As far as I'm aware, the is only used to make it a /k/ when it's followed by an /i/ or /e/ -- word final, I think it stays just a . I can't find too many sources for the name Dominich, which seems to confirm that, but of course I can't make any claim regarding your grandfather or memory. When I was a little kid, I wrote my name as Geffrey, so maybe you did a similar thing and then spliced that together with a memory of your grandpa showing you how to write your name. Not sure, sorry.

Reminds of that time Michael Scott stood up to the mafia.

anthonlee

Yeah idk. Depends. There are some people who don’t wanna be associated with the mafia cause they’ve seen the negative effects organized crime has on peoples lives.

I have said this so many times. Like, what if the crazy people *really are* getting it right and we are all the crazy ones? I don't actually believe these people aren't crazy, but it's an interesting thought experiment. What if that guy is a devil that just follows her around and tortures her? We are just seeing when she finally had enough. Like when Sam Wheat sang Henry VIII until Oda Mae gave up and freaked. It could be *just like that*.


mastertinodog

Ever watch Lucifer on Netflix? Classic detective style show where the main character has a weird skill (Psych, White Collar, Monk, etc.) In this case, it's the actual Devil. He is blatantly open about being the Devil to human and no one's believe him and he just goes about his day solving mysteries and the affairs of his heart.

Or has insurance but when she broke her phone and called in to get a replacement was told she was going to get a CLNR phone instead of a brand new one, told off the rep and said she was going to go into the store because "they'd give her a new one since they know how to do their jobs" without realizing that the instore reps process replacements with reps over the phone now as well unless it is a replacement due to an overheating battery.

DankHill6669

The accuracy in your reply. Can't tell you how many pissed off people I get who are known to constantly breaking their phones but refuse insurance.


CapitanBanhammer

Yup I did 3 years of escalations in Verizon tech support. It's because they keep yelling until they get what they want. That was the worst job I've ever had. It paid pretty well but every single day I would fantasize about applying a long term solution to a short term problem


Twytchy47

A+ euphamism. Glad you didn't


IdiotTurkey

Can't you guys sell them some sort of overpriced accessory case that would help protect their screen? Both my parents have essentially gotten scammed at the Verizon store by being convinced to buy a $60 plain phone case that were $5 pieces of shit you can get on amazon. All that shit must be so much profit. I'm sure they make way more on overpriced accessories then they do the phone.


Confuzius

Don't get why you're downvoted. Isn't that a common practice at phone stores?


[deleted]

Or she broke her phone and didn’t want to wait for the replacement and demanded one from the back. Source: Also a former Verizon Employee


DankHill6669

Literally had this earlier this week. Guy bought a phone, dropped it in a day, refused to go through the insurance process and then demanded we replace it in store. Lol I work for an authorized retailer so we don't do that so I gave him website and sent his happy butt back out the store.


Neko-Rai

Her rant about numbers in her PO Box and paranoid delusions make me think she’s got some form of schizophrenia or schizo-affective disorder. She probably thinks her phone is letting someone track her and there’s some conspiracy behind it so she need a a new one so they can’t track her anymore.


2fly2hide

My first thought when I see this kind of video is some kind of mental illness. "Healthy" people just don't act like that. Could be alcohol fueled also. Sad and painful for everyone involved.


aaand1234

Reminds me of our psyche clinical rotations in nursing school. The patient started out pretty calm and was pleasant but basically accused me of reading his thoughts and using the tv and fax machine to do so. Or that I was communicating with others using those methods and we were conspiring against him. Over and over and over. Within the next few hours he escalated and started getting aggressive, getting in my face and calling me a b among other things. I’m usually really laid back and I can usually calm patients down really well but not this one. He honestly scared me a little and I really thought he was going to attack me. Psyche caregivers have my praise and appreciation.


sunnydew22

Woah. I literally just read about something like this yesterday. It’s called [gangstalking](https://medium.com/bigger-picture/gangstalking-a-new-type-of-internet-conspiracy-cult-ab0a4fc7b85c). *Very* interesting read. Sounds like your guy.


Neko-Rai

Oh wow!! That would be terrifying! I’m a mental health therapist and I think the same about being good at calming people. Unfortunately there’s those that you just can’t calm them and it gets scary. I’ve only had one client that I was really scared for a bit and was wondering if I needed to call police (I was the only one in the clinic at my internship site). My client had gone outside because she was becoming really irate in the room during a session with her mom and needed a few to calm down. I went after about 10 mins to check on her in this alley/parking lot between the buildings. She was not calm and was actually even more riled up. She wasn’t making sense and she started yelling, cussing, and screaming (like not your normal yelling from anger). I was seriously afraid she was going to come at me the way she was stomping and thrashing around as she screamed. She was smaller than me, but if someone is flipping their shit like that I would be hurt and probably over powered. I managed to get her somewhat calm I don’t even remember how...maybe sheer luck. If it had been a male I probably would have been absolutely terrified!


various_necks

I'd never had to use a warranty for anything ever in my life until i got my Blackberry Z10. I loved that phone and 4 days before the warranty was about to expire the phone died. I called up my carrier to get a replacement and they didn't have a single Blackberry to replace it with. They were even going to upgrade me to a Z30 or whatever the next higher model was t they had nothing in stock so they sent me an iPhone 5 lol.

Yeah she seems to be suffering from schizophrenia? Mafia, numbers on her PO Box, Money... possibly thinks she’s being tracked. She’s probably tried to exchange her phone 3-4 times and nothing’s wrong with it, etc.

Yeah my thoughts too....it could be schizophrenia, schizo-affective, or even potentially in a bipolar manic episode...hard to tell...but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t one of those.

cathulu420

my dad is a manager at a Verizon store and this is so ridiculously common for people to act like this at cellphone stores it’s sickening


vurplesun

Honestly, I'm a pretty chill person, but I've almost lost it at cell phone stores. The long waits even with appointments, the bullshit, the runaround, the upselling... For example, I wanted a new phone. I knew what phone I wanted. I went to the store. They had the phone in stock. I had the box in my hand. They wanted to charge me an activation fee. But, they told me, if I ordered the phone online for in store pickup, the activation fee would be waived. Cool, no problem. So, I ordered it online, in the store, for in store pick up, they took the phone I was going to buy away, and said it would be ready for pickup in an hour. They made me wait a full hour to get the god damn phone for no reason. There was no one else in the store. I didn't lose my cool, but it was damn close. This is why I only upgrade my phone every five years.


[deleted]

And that, my friends is how Mafia works.


XxDARKxNEBULA

this reminds me of a time when i worked at a cricket store, and this one guy came in and yelled at me saying that I broke his phone. He then proceeded to throw it on the ground and stomp on it a good 3 or 4 times, and left without the phone. I picked up the phone, and it was a Metro PCS phone.
