Normally, I come here with my family of 5. We spend quite a bit of $ each visit. We don't have time to sit down with kids, but still want a quality burger. This time, I got the chicken sandwich.
I've never tasted such a horrible substance! I couldn't chew through the meat and the little bit I did swallow made me feel like going to the hospital. To make matters worse, I waited 20 - 25 minutes in the drive thru to buy this expensive garbage.
The sandwich was so bad that I got back into my car and drove back to the location so they would know that something was terribly wrong with the chicken. I hadn't eaten all day long, so I scarfed down some of the fries and drink on the way. I didn't want to have an accident being light headed from not eating. I get back to the store, go inside, wait in line and quietly share what happened with the cashier at the register.
I told her that I deserved a refund, wanted them to check all the chicken so no one else got sick and I'd be on my way. The cashier gave me money back for the sandwich, but not my meal. We are literally talking about less than a $5 difference. With my family, I spend close to $50 each time we go. You do the math. Burgerville, and especially their assistant manager, failed me today in these 3 pertinent categories: 1. Quality of Product 2. Customer Service 3. Customer Experience. What I experienced today is simply unacceptable.
I told the manager and cashier that I had now spent a few hours dealing with this Burgerville inconvenience along with potentially being sick from their food. This had to be considered if they wanted to give me right and exact change. My time is WAY more expensive than their meal. My bad experience and being a loyal customer wasn't considered at all.
To be clear, I was doing Burgerville a favor. By taking the time to notify them, it cost me time away from my own work. The cashier proceeded to give me the rest of my refund when some little girl with glasses, claiming to be the assistant manager, came from out of the back without identifying herself and said, "You almost ate all that food." What she didn't understand was that I felt sick from the food I did eat and hadn't eaten all day. I was literally dizzy at this point, because I wasn't able to eat the chicken sandwich. It tasted like rubber. I had done nothing wrong and this assistant manager tried to misplace her anger toward me. That's when the BIAS seeped out and her actions made it clear that she had already made assumptions about me that were inaccurate.
I said, "Who are you?" She then identified herself and spoke to me like I was her child. This little girl could be my daughter with regard to age and competency. She told me that I had been in the store before complaining, which was a lie. Even if I had, then my issue today is now "pattern or practice" that needs to be addressed. The way in which the assistant manager at this Burgerville engaged with me demonstrated bias, a lack of training & 0 professionalism. I will make a formal grievance at corporate headquarters of BV.
Avoid this Burgerville at all costs! The assistant manager needs to be fired for how she engaged with me in a public space and Burgerville needs to learn from what Starbucks is going through after racial profiling their customers. Bias related incidents, or disrespect of any kind, will not be tolerated in my neighborhood.
Finally, Don't eat the chicken! read more
