One of things I detest the most is waiting forever in line at a cell phone store to get and set up a new phone plan. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised how enjoyable the experience was for setting up my new iPhone 8 Plus on a Sunday afternoon!
As soon as I walked into the store, I was immediately greeted by cheerful, happy staff. With no contracts and me bringing in my own 8 Plus, I was set up in less than 20 minutes pain free and given the option to pick a phone number with any area code of my choosing - that was the longest part of the setting up process. You get to choose an area code and the first 3 digits available per available city.
The store was overall clean, organized by brands - Apple, Samsung, Google, etc. - plus a walls of accessories to choose from.
Parking can be tough because this Verizon is located across from Whole Foods. But you will get faster, more pleasant service than if you go to the Pleasanton location by far.
