Appalling customer service!!!!!
On 11/29/2021 at 3:40pm, I walked into the bank to verify if I could add my husband to my existing checking account. Initially, I stood in line to ask the bank teller who could assist me with the matter mentioned above. The gentleman informed me to take a seat in the waiting area and I would be assisted by a representative. Both my husband and myself sat down where there was already two other customers waiting.
Shortly afterwards a bank representative approached us and asked who was next. The customer sitting next to me stated, "I am next" and she stated, "how can I help you?" The customer stated he needed to use the phone to call his ride. She told him to follow her and they walked into her cubicle.
At 3:47pm, she walked back to the waiting area and again asked who was next. The other customer sitting in the waiting area indicated, "Yo" (Me) and the bank representative stated, "How can I help you?" The customer asked her, "speak Spanish?" and she stated, "No, you would have to ask for assistance with the bank tellers." Obviously, if the customer does not speak English then more than likely he had no clue what the bank representative told him. This was evident since the customer remained seated in the waiting area.
The bank representative then asked me how she could help me. I informed her that I wanted to add my husband to my existing checking account. The bank representative indicated, "you will need to schedule an appointment since we are closing soon." I replied, "doesn't the bank close at 5pm because it's only 3:48pm and the bank is open for another hour and twelve minutes?" The bank representative stated, "yes, we close at 5pm but I do not have enough time to finish the transaction." In which I responded, "despite having the required documents and since we are already at the bank, could you help us with the matter?" The bank representative stated "the transaction would take about 15 minutes to complete and if I had on-line banking on my cell phone than I could schedule an appointment." Once again, I reiterated if she could assist us with the matter since we were both already at the bank. She refused.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time which I have experienced terrible service at the Chase branch in Los Banos. It's almost as if the bank representatives make very little effort to engage, assist, and help their customers. They are unprofessional and even lack the availability to multi-task when encountering customers. Shame on them for their horrible service!! Even more insulting is how are you not going to hire a bank representative fluent in both Spanish & English in a community which the language most spoken is Spanish by 51.45% of the population in Los Banos, CA. read more
