HORRIBLE customer service! Probably the worst we have ever experienced at any ice cream shop! The term: "The customer is always right" is not a term this Baskin-Robbins location is familiar with.
Last time we stopped in, they were out of our favorite flavor, Oreo Cold Brew. The employee helping us at the time promised it would be back in stock as soon as possible. Confident as ever, we marched up to Baskins for our long-awaited cone of this delicious java flavor. And what were we met with? Unhelpful workers. Unpleasant service. Unrealistic excuses!!!
1. The three teenage boys working told us they DID have Oreo Cold Brew "in the back", but refused to grab us a single scoop (probably more because they were closing in 20 minutes). Remarking that if they did do that for us, they would be "fired on the spot" by a manager who was not even present. Talk about poor management!!! Your employees are so frightened by you that they'd rather piss off customers than face your wrath? News flash: I worked at an ice cream store for YEARS, and grabbing ice cream from the back is not and never should be a problem, especially for a customer! Definitely NOT a fireable offense.
2. Your younger employee working on the closing shift of Sunday June 25th was a rule-follower to an asinine and annoying degree. We tried to order a small shake with two scoops (one pistachio and one butter pecan). He proceeded to explain, for what felt like fifteen minutes, how there is only one scoop in a small shake...HOW? After being difficult, he flips through his little shake manual and discovers a small actually has TWO scoops, not one. You'd think he would be apologetic and accommodate us for not only wasting our time, but also HIS mess up. But no.
3. After all of that, on our final order, he scooped us a tiny ass serving of ice cream (one made for a child). We didn't order a kiddie cone, sir. But, we sure as hell paid for double that...
THREE STRIKES. YOU'RE OUT!
Their employees definitely do not put the customers first. Rather, they put their customers through an unsolicited master class on Baskin-Robbins' rules. Sorry, not interested!!! Learn how to say yes before saying no to LITERALLY EVERYTHING a customer asks you for.
I get that you have rules that need to be followed, but we shouldn't leave feeling exhausted. Thank goodness we didn't order sprinkles because I'm sure they would have counted them out one by one for us.
Way to go, boys!!! You turned our fun night out into a total back-and-forth charade!!! Will not be returning even if they DO decide to stop hoarding the Oreo Cold Brew in the back. read more
