I know they just opened and I understand they are still training. However, I was very disappointed with my service yesterday. I'm not sure if I should feel discriminated or just not valued? I am sure that I won't go back to the Covington location for any future orders for sure. They just lost a customer who spends way more on big orders than a customer who orders just one item because of their poor customer service. Grand opening or not, they shouldn't have taken so long nor should I have been ignored.
Before I placed a big order to go, I asked if it was possible to place an order for dine in and a big order over $220 worth of food for pick up an hour later. Multiple trainers/supervisors reassured me yes. I waited for over 10 minutes for my dine in items and still nothing. Workers were walking around asking other patrons, mainly a lot of them that they knew personally how everything was, but just ignored me and my order. A couple workers finally made small talk, but never checked in on my order. I had to ask several people to check on my dine in order and finally someone came by and gave me my order with missing items. They did correct their mistake after I told them.
As I was waiting for my order, I saw a Lady holding bags with free grand opening coffee mugs and cow toys giving free breakfast voucher cards out to customers. I also saw some of the staff behind the counter also giving these free voucher cards for just visiting or if their order was a few minutes late. I thought to myself, that's good customer service to take care of your customers. However, that wasn't the case for me.
They did not take care of me who is a fan and constantly places big orders for lunch meetings at multiple locations. When it came down to my big order to go, I was reassured by multiple trainers and workers that they were working on it. Pick up time came and went and still no sign of my order being complete. They didn't even have my receipt to fill my order and had to ask me for it. Ten minutes passed after my original order pickup time. Being once again reassured by multiple people that my order is being worked on, 20 minutes passed still nothing. I told them I was running late for my meeting and checked with them on the status again. Still nothing! Finally, after 30 minutes, my order was complete. This was also before the lunch crowd busy time. I was surprised multiple people apologized for being late, but not one of them, trainers, regular workers, supervisors, lady with bags giving out the toy cows, not a single one of them offered me a voucher for free item card for coming back next time or asked how they can do better next time. I think the lady with the bags giving out the toy cows was the worst because she saw how long I was waiting the whole time. I am in the service industry and believe in excellent customer service. I am not upset just because they didn't give me a voucher card for free item because I waited for so long for my order, but with how they handled this whole situation and not being fair to all customers or simply taking care of me. They didn't do the right thing. I hope they will learn from this mistake. read more
