I'll start with the only good thing I can think of about this place: they allow their employees to bring their kids to work. Childcare is expensive, so I'm glad they are allowed to bring them. The kids I've noticed have never been in the way or bothering their parent/guardian.
Now to the reason I wrote this review: this location has gone downhill fast. Employees don't give a crap about anything, can't communicate clearly, and are unwilling to do anything but press what they think are the right buttons on a screen. The last two times I've gone here have been notable disasters. There needs to be new management or a corporate overhaul of training. Here are a couple quick examples of the poor customer service: 1) I ask for a dozen donuts and a 10-count box of munchkins. Cashier rings it in. I look up at the menu boards and realize they are advertising a deal for a dozen donuts and a dozen munchkins for $11 (where was the mention of this deal for which I clearly would have been a good candidate?) The total had been $12 for what I ordered. I ask, "can I do that deal?" and point to the ad. The cashier mumbles and calls her manager over. He looks at the cashier's screen and nods. By this time a line of 3-4 people has formed behind me. She says to me, "it's the same, it's 8 plus 3". I take her word for it (bad idea) and walk out, granted there was no correction for the 2 munchkins I am now short since I first ordered a 10-count. I look at my receipt and it says I was charged $8 and then $3.99. Can Dunkin' employees not even read now? Anyway, 2) this morning I have a free beverage listed on a previous receipt (in fact, the same one from the first situation), apparently because of my DD app usage and points. There's a number, but no QR code. I tried to use the code by handing the receipt to the cashier, and she says "I need the barcode". I said, "oh, this was a receipt from this store and I wasn't given a barcode, I think it has to be typed in." She says, "I can't type it in." Given my previous experience here, I think this is due to lack of effort. I ask her if the code is on the app, and she says she doesn't have the app so she doesn't know (but she works there, so she should know regardless??) she calls the manager over, who has the same lackluster attitude. He explains that the reward will be on my app and shows me how to get there (not really, but I'll give him the credit). How hard is it to direct me to the right location instead of copping an attitude and giving up on the situation?
Ordering here is more like pulling teeth from a 4 yr old, so come with low expectations and a good, prepared "WTF?" face! If you have time, go to the Dunkin inside the BP a mile down North Ave to the west by the on-ramp to I-75/I-85. They're nice there and it's becoming a better location every day. If you don't have time, choose a different breakfast place. read more
