AT&T Customers Can Now Schedule Retail Appointments
Is this really necessary?
I haven't been in an AT&T store where I have had to wait more than a minute or two for a sales rep to come up and ask if they can help me. Only once did I have to wait more than five minutes, and that was because the store was being mobbed that day by college students flush with financial aid money and needing the latest iPhone.
I can't speak to how busy AT&T stores are in the major metropolitan areas like San Francisco and New York City, but the stores in New Orleans and south Louisiana are rarely busy at all.
As it stands, I just can't see a justification for this new system.

I agree. I have went into the corporate stores to get a new sim card and had to wait 30 minutes or more. If someone came in and got immediate attention, I would not be a happy customer. I really don't want to make an appointment just for them to se...

Wait a second--it's bad that you would go into a store, without an appointment, and have to wait for someone to be able to help you?
Forgive me, but are you the type of person who goes into a dentist's office without an appointment and gets annoyed...

Why are people making this out to be a negative thing? Sprint has had this service available for awhile, and it seems to work well for them. I think AT&T should receive credit for following Sprint's lead and now providing its customers with the abilit...
