Where did I even start. My family has been patronizing this location for three years now as it's only a few blocks from our home. If I was to rate the combination of our visits with a grade it would be a F minus. Let's begin with the exterior. Why did the owner allow someone to raise the American Flag when it was frayed and tattered? Everyone working there should know better than that. Does this location not encourage employees to use the phrase, "my pleasure," because they don't. No big deal really besides the fact this is a corporate mandated requirement. Ordering....well 7 out of 10 orders on average are incorrect and that is not an exaggeration. No straws, no cookies, no cheese added, no sauces, no spoon for soup etc. I have called the store on numerous occasions, no answer! How is one even supposed to bring this to the proprietor's attention? I'm only getting started....I removed a #1 combo meal without the American cheese I ordered and paid for. Took my first bite, nothing but bread. Second bite the same. Removed the bun and there was at best two bites of chicken. This has NEVER happened to me at another location. Got home, called the store.....you guessed it....ring....ring....ring. Let me be clear, these are just a few of the real world examples that I have directly encountered. There are many many more. There is a chick Fila open within five miles of my place of employment. I have been going there for 20yrs. Only one single issue in the whole 20yrs. What was it, I'm sure you'd like to know. I went into the restaurant and walked up to the cashier. Her name was T-Dawg. Are you laughing yet? You should be. Let me spell that out for you again. T-DAWG! Let's be real, obviously that isn't her real name. I began placing my order. She cut me off numerous times to flirt with and yell back to a young man behind the food window. Very unprofessional. I simply gathered my food, asked for the owners information, and left. I called the number on his business card. He answered, but it sounded like he was in outer space. Well, as it turns out, he practically was. He was in China on a mission trip, and it was 2am in the morning. Did you read the part where I said he answered his phone?! Did you also put two and two together, that the information this owner has his employees provide is his direct cell phone number?! I apologized and informed him that I had no idea it was his cell phone and that he was out of the country. I informed him "that T-Dawg" was being unprofessional. He said, "who?" I let him know again that "T-Dawg" was acting up. He told me he doesn't have a T-Dawg working at his restaurant. I informed him that he does because that's what her name says. He said, and I quote " I'll call you right back, I have a call to make." Five minutes later my phone rang. It was the owner calling me from China.....yes, as in the country. He said." You couldn't do a U-turn and get back to that restaurant before that name tag is thrown away, the employee corrected, and this issue handled. He then said the next time I'm in the restaurant everything is on him for me and my whole family. I thanked him, but let him know to donate that act to a family in need and he assured me he would. What's the point/lesson here? Where and who is the owner at the Chick Fila restaurant located at:
2555 Dallas Hwy. SW
Marietta, GA 30064
I'd like them to reach out to me. Let's talk. Provide me his contact information. I'll take time out of my day to inform him of what's really going on at his restaurant since clearly he isn't involved. read more
