**DISCLAIMER: THIS IS REALLY LONG BUT WORTH THE READ.
Oh let me just tell you about the great experience I did NOT just have at this location.
We arrived at around 10:40am -- it says they open at 10:30. We go in there and nothing is ready. They are like just beginning to set up. Don't say open at 10:30 if you can't manage to do so to begin with.
The lady at the cashier was clearly a manger of some sort, but not from this location because she knew how nothing worked. Kept asking the staff how they do things.
We walked up to place our order, and she asked us to give her a few minutes -- not a problem, I get it sometimes things are slow. However a few minutes turned into almost 15. She was sorting coins in the register....yelling at people in the back to turn off the water, and then asking people how much meat they had left and why they were going to run out.
*Side note: don't go there this afternoon, because they are almost out of ham and turkey (not unusual for this location tho because one time they were out of bread)*
So we are standing around, giving her the "minute" (15) she asked for, and another customer walks in. He walks over to the line and SHE TAKES HIS ORDER. HELLO! We have been standing around waiting on YOU to help us, but you didn't bother to let us know you were capable of taking our order, so instead you help someone who comes in after us. Normally, that kind of thing isn't a big deal to me, but she had us waiting on HER for 15 minutes.
She takes his order, and then is taking ours. She literally wouldn't even let me or my boyfriend finish our orders before she cut in to tell us what comes on it and what don't we want on it with her little spin around display on the counter. Well, if you'd let me actually order, I would be able to answer all those questions without you being rude and interrupting me.
So all I wanted on my sandwich was ham, cheese, mayo and deli mustard. Once I said no lettuce, tomato, or onion, she goes, "so just mayo and deli mustard?" And I said, "yes, and cheese!" And very snotty, she responds, "It comes with cheese! It's mixed up with the meat!" Like i was an idiot -- she also was waving her hand around in the air. Sorry, I just wanted to clarify, all she had to say was "Ok, got it!" Instead, she had a nasty attitude that continued for the rest of the time I was there, and I am sure is still continuing.
We paid, she asked for a name, I said my name and turned a tad and she said to my boyfriend, with her lovely attitude "I couldn't here her because she turned!" Hello, right here, just say "I didn't get that."
I got a drink. The man who ordered before we did as well and was standing at the drink machine that was not in proper setting for us to use. She was literally doing nothing and the man had to raise his hand to get her attention. I was standing behind the man, and instead of going around me with the nastiest tone she said "EXCUSE ME!" No, EXCUSE YOU for not knowing how to run a sandwich shop.
She also had on her workout clothes. I'm sorry put on real clothes if you are going to come to work. I don't care who you are, what position, put on an outfit that is appropriate for your title. Because the image she gave off was lazy, inexperienced "manager", who rolled out of bed and thinks it's okay to treat your paying customers like they are beneath you. I guarantee you another manager or owner would never show up dressed like that and then sit there and take orders.
We were waiting on our food and she just starts berating the staff for things that were not done last night when the place closed, even tho one guy said he wasn't even there.
Can you... "because it wasn't done last night!
And at least 10-15 more times. (No joke)
"I refilled the soda syrup because it wasn't done last night"
Well I got news for you, you did an awful job, I had to pour mine out.
Yes, let me sit here with customers in here and be negative over and over because that is how you run a business properly and make your employees want to work harder. Nothing good is going to come out of that and you don't do that in front of customers! I mean COMMON SENSE.
Because of this, I went up and asked her to make our food to go because I could not listen to her bitching any longer. And when I asked she had to ask what order because between the three of us who were in there and ordered sandwiches, she couldn't remember.
She told the staff to "make sure the lettuce is green." And then when they were making a sandwich said, "no don't use that, take that off!" Okay sick, glad I didn't get any on my sandwich. You have customers in here and you are literally telling us every problem and micromanaging your staff even tho you don't even know how the place works.
It's a shame because the food is good, but I cannot put up with that and I will not be back to this location, ever. I really hope they take this into consideration and get rid of her. I was embarrassed for her and her employees. read more
