When does your Verizon Store open?

[1088933]

I called at least 4 Verizon stores today to see if any of them were opening up early. No such luck! All opening at the normal time. Really, why?

One store took my name and number and is suppose to call me tomorrow; a BJ's Verizon kiosk offered to call me early Thursday and said they would be getting in 10-15 units (that does not sound like a lot). That same male kiosk clerk told me they had a demo of the X on site. Well, I was over there in a flash, so I'm really excited, but when I get to the store a female clerk looked me dead in my face and said "we don't have the X and we won't have one until the 15th on launch day". I said really (very nice and calm) because I talked to someone 10 minutes ago who said you did. Meanwhile the male clerk is whistling dixie and not making eye contact with me. The kiosk is only yeh big. The lady then fesses up and says since someone told me there was one there she'll show it to me. She reaches under the desk for it and hands it to me.

No hard feelings, I know she was just doing her job and she did say get here early rather than later, she said a lot of people have been calling and asking about the X.

It is so nice; very sturdy; big but not too big; and lightning fast. I think I made the hunger pains worse. Why is it not Thursday yet? Oooh, heavens to murgatroid!

Man I don't see why stores are being so anal about demos. Why would a store not want to put out a demo? It seems that would be the main way to lure people into buying the phone...

I just called my local verizon store,they are opening at regular time: 9am on thursday. I asked if they were having a waiting list or anything and the lady was "nope we're first come first serve". Kind of snoody actually.

I just got off the phone with my local Verizon Store. The guy was very friendly, said they have none in stock now but expecting to get them tomorrow afternoon. Their store is opening at 6 am...which is shocking because I live in a small town. He took down my name and number and set up an appointment. Apparently I was the first one. Unfortunately my friend is turning 21 tomorrow so we have to go out and party with him and odds are I'll be hungover Thursday morning, so I made the appointment for 8 am haha.

makes no sense why some stores are opening early and not others

Yea...especially my store. I live in one of the most redneck towns in the country...probably 99 percent of the population doesn't even know what a smartphone is lol

Thursday

My local store is opening an hour early - 9am instead of 10am. It's in a mall and I guess they open the doors to the inner mall for 'mall-walkers' at 6am. I might be joining them for a few laps around the food court. The Verizon rep I talked to said that they have received 70 phones and possibly getting more tomorrow (Wednesday).
