This morning, at about 8:50am I stopped in the center ave location in janesville. Now, I visit this location minimum 4 times a week and I've seen a lot of things and NEVER write reviews. This morning changed everything. (I called directly after I left since I didn't want a receipt to describe people and get their names).
Numorus other occasions I've seen a manager named Herman disrespect, yell at, and humiliate the other employees. And that is not even why I'm writing this review.
Today I left this location LIVID. I was so angry and upset with the way you've chosen to run this establishment. And here is why.
I walk up to the counter and a very sweet lady named Selena greeted me at the counter with a smile and positive attitude. (Now I'm very indecisive about what to get my household full of kids with my usual Iced Mocha Latte No whip coffee) but she was INCREDIBLE. She was patient, never seemed annoyed was super helpful, and even chit chatted as I watched her gather my order. All with a smile.
Selena excused herself for a second to get some change and a man named Damian comes with, sells her change, looks up to a now line of 3 more customers behind me, and walks away.
Selena gets right back to finishing my order.. Now to my surprise another young girl named Jenna just continued to fiddle with the waffle maker, looking at it, fiddling, looking like she needs to stay busy, yet not ONCE started making my drink, or offering to help someone, or at the VERY least, asking Selena if she needed help. It is understandable that they probably do not work off the same cash drawer, but there was so much more she could have done. In stead, she stands. And fiddles.
Now Damian, after replacing that money bag wherever it came from went and stood by the drive through, and started eating! EATING! There are 3 people behind me, ONE lady is trying to do all the work, and find people for change, and he SAW the line, and he did nothing but feed himself with his back to us.
The other customers and I awkwardly look at one another and wonder why NO ONE in there besides that one girl is doing anything, I watch Damian eat his entire donut, never get a single drive though order, and NEVER wash his hands after he licks all those fingers. I'm actually grateful he never touched anything of mine.
This whole time, I'm biting my tongue. I cant believe this is happening. And not because I'm in a hurry, I'm not, but because no one is helping this poor girl.
However, finally I said "excuse me mam, (to Jenna) there is a line of people behind me. Jenna just blatantly stared at me. Never gave me a response. Nothing. I've never felt so angry and disrespected, she just stared at me. The other customers in line now just shaking their heads and about as angry as I am that ONE girl in an establishment is working her tail off while one guy feeds himself and another fiddles with a machine and takes ZERO orders the 13min I was in that lobby.
Tomorrow, I will go back to this establishment and tell Selena that I am sorry. I am sorry she has to work in an environment where there is no teamwork, looks like horrendous management, and an all around terrible place for her. I will also tell her to apply where I work, (I've worked waitstaff/bar tending/catering for 15+ years in customer service) and she would be an amazing addition to our team. TEAM, of people that HELP her work.
And to Selena, if by chance our paths do not cross again, YOU ARE A ROCK STAR! Almost anyone else in your position would have lost their minds, shown anger (understandably) and frustration... but not you. You kept that smile, and positivity. People like you, deserve a better work environment then that. And I, just a regular person and customer, noticed. THANK YOU, Selena.
To Jenna and Damian, you both have ZERO customer service skills. You have zero teamwork and lack of work ethic. You both should feel embarrassed and ashamed.
I will share this review, everywhere that I can.
And I never take the time for reviews.
Shame on you, Dunkin Donuts. read more
