I ordered through Door Dash and every donut I ordered was incorrect. I spoke to an employee (7:31pm Thursday night 5/26) who was having a HORRIBLE night and thought it best to take her frustrations out on me as the customer.
She reported she gave a replacement because she did not have the donuts I ordered she actually said she only had "three donuts in the store." I'm not sure the flavors of those donuts - but I'm guessing they were not the flavors I ordered.
I asked for the manage's name and was provided "Carol." I will contact Carol and the locate the district manager tomorrow as the poor woman I spoke with was having such a horrible night, she could probably use some time off or maybe more staff in the store, I'm not sure. But she was so overwhelmed, speaking so quickly that a few times she lost her breath, it was heartbreaking to hear someone in such distress over donuts.
With the employee shortages going on now I can only imagine how overworked this employee must be, it was actually very sad to hear her frustration. It might be possible customer service is not the best line of work for her to be in because it can be so stressful and some people are just not equipped to talk to the public without getting so worked up.
Maybe "Carol" as the manager might want to have a conversation with this employee to truly find out if her working at Dunkin' Donuts is really the best fit for her. Seriously she was so completely overwhelmed--I can only imagine how she must feel under such pressure.
I did speak with Door Dash and was provided a full refund for the incorrect donuts and the gentleman at Door Dash was so kind, and understanding, never have a problem with them, great staff.
I did explain to Door Dash how overwhelmed and distraught the employee was, and the gentleman stated Door Dash would get in touch with the manager to discuss as well.
I think "Carol" might do better supporting her staff or possibly not leave someone on charge that is clearly not up to the job. It's unfair to the employee to put her in a situation where she was so completely overwhelmed.
I did read the other reviews regarding the negative customer service at this location. I'm sure the employees are not to blame, positive customer service trickles down from management, from what I've read and my experience tonight, management did not put the best candidate in a customer service position.
I also wonder, why if the store is open until 9:00, and I called at 7;30, there are only "three" donuts in the entire store?
For reputation sake, as Dunkin' Donuts usually has such great products, this store might want to shut down for just a while to retrain their employees and/or higher employees who do not get so distraught and overwhelmed when dealing in customer service.
And finally, to the poor woman I spoke with tonight who was having such a horrible night, completely overwhelmed and distraught, remember it's only donuts.
I do hope you get some rest tonight, and you have a wonderful day tomorrow. No need to worry, I will speak with "Carol" and I'm sure through Google can find someone higher than Carol to speak with about giving you a vacation PAID of course!!! read more
