Use a knife to thin it. I used to have a box of thin ones, but had to buy larger sturdier round ones, so last time I just sharpened it with a knife and it worked like a charm.
I use a plastic one - the ones that have a floss “D” on one end and a pick on the other. They’re very thin and can also be bent to form a bit of a hook.
That is not how Verizon stores work in the US. They dont even fuckin carry Samsung OEM charging blocks at my local Verizon wireless store. They havent done anything tech support related in a very long time. You basically go there for them to use your phone to call their customer/technical support to ultimately tell you to take it to a You Break IT We Fix IT store.
10 USD??? I justo walk into a phone repair shop and ask them if they can clean it. they do it in under a minute for free
Walk into a store? I just use a toothpick or a needle
My toothpicks are not that thin.
I usually pass various phone shops on my way to buy groceries, so it’s not an inconvenience

Do not use a needle. Use something wood, like the toothpick you suggested, or plastic. The needle might damage the port.
Last time I used a needle I caused a short. Cost me 120 euros to have it fixed
