Have you ever met the "that's not my job" or "you need to do that yourself online" guy? We THAT GUY is CJ Costello the franchise owner of this location. If I were Avis or Budget corporate headquarters I would be ashamed and embarrassed to know a franchisee like CJ has my company name associated with his level of poor customer service. My entire experience renting a car from this location and having CJ be the only employee there to check me out was horrible. The worst part of this story didn't even happen to me, it was just what I observed.
Can you imagine someone in the customer service field or a small business owner look at someone's T-shirt, see that it has a certain politicians name on it and then make that person wearing the shirt who had a reservation, stand off to the side while CJ continued to call other people ahead of that person in line. As a business owner why do you even care what political candidate somebody supports or not? So you decide to make them wait and basically discriminate against them for being polite, waiting in line, giving you their business, and just because they have a T-shirt on that you don't like that person's political affiliation you punish them with bad service and a longer wait.
My experience was not that but I observed it. What I dealt with was a rude, bad attitude, and a customer service experience which basically boils down to do it all yourself online.
- I made the reservation on the app on my phone while logged in to my account and here is how it went. Do you have my credit card or drivers license information? No, your rewards number isn't associated with the reservation. Well that's weird, since I made the reservation online via the app while logged into my account with my rewards number. You need to go online and update it yourself.
- Since you can't find my drivers license information on the account even though I've rented from here before, can you update it in the system please? You can do that yourself online. Ok...
There were numerous interactions like these two above, my experience of poor customer service and a bad attitude went on and on, so do yourself a favor and just take your business somewhere else. read more
