I had left a laptop to be wiped and to reinstall Norton. The tech WINTER was not only rude to me while I was waiting but another senior lady like myself he was so inconsiderate and impatient with her needs also, he acted like he just didn't want to help her apple watch connecting to her new iPhone. I was appalled at the way he spoke to her. Unfortunately he treated me the same way, like it was a bother to wait on me also. The next day when I went to pick up my computer, he had a worst attitude. I was told to call Norton to get the code and the email code was delayed in getting to the email. He physically took my MacBook without asking if he could touch it out of my hands while I was looking for the email and starting working on my computer with the screen turned away from me. Winter is one of the rudest most inconsiderate tech I have meet at BB. he should not be on the counter with humans. I was told by Geek squad customer service tech and by Norton to do certain things when I arrived at the store and he said that was wrong, I called Norton while I was there and I had to speak loud over the phone so the person could hear me since I wear a mask. WINTER said I was yelling I was not, I told him they said they couldn't hear me so I was talking loud. Eventually the laptop in repair started downloading the Norton and WINTER disappears. I had to ask another tech is the laptop finish and he keep insisting I had to wait for WINTER to come back, he was no were to found. I had to insist that he check the laptop because I had to get to the Nursing home to see my mom by a certain time. I didn't get his name but he was also rude. They both acted like it was a bother and an inconvenience for them to help customers. Neither of these men should be on the front line where customers spend alot of money that need tech help. Also Winter and the other guy keep asking me may name over and over, talking to me like I was stupid. I keep telling them the laptop in repair was on my mom's account and not my account. They were treating me like some kind of criminal. I was visiting from Los Angeles and still am very upset how Winter and the other guy treated me! Both of them are lacking in customer service skills and how to treat seniors!

Desired outcome: IMPROVE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS AT THE GEEK SQUAD TECH DEPARTMENT. You should send in secret shoppers to check all your stores and all departments.

The Tech who's name begins with W while touching my laptop and the one in repair he keep picking at his mouth with his fingers then he would touch my laptop so disgusting. He also tried to grab my iphone from my hands and when I told him NO I don't let anyone touch my phone he got angry with me. Please take the person off the customer service line and put him in the back with the computers. This was the most unsettling, most upsetting, most rude customer service and most disgusting experience I have ever had at BB store. What gives him the right to just grab my laptop which was not in for repair I had to use it to get the Norton email code without asking and pick at his mouth while then touching my computer. then trying to grab my iphone while I was using it. OMG! Customers are the reason he has a job! I am so upset from this whole experience, I was trying to be friendly, at first complimenting him, telling him he should do you tube videos for people, but was so anti social, he obviously doesn't like helping seniors or senior women! The tech W needs a serious training course in manners and customer service skills.
