By far the worst customer service I have ever dealt with - bad customer service, rude manager ( I believe her name was Modesta), and paranoid employees at the Espanola NM, Store Number 2986
It can be incredibly frustrating when you are at a store and the manager is rude and condescending. Such was the case at Harbor Freight in Espanola, New Mexico, when I inquired about an item that had gone on sale for a cheaper price and yet they could not refund me the difference. The manager was extremely unhelpful and acted as though I was an inconvenience to her. Her condescending remarks and refusal to even consider giving me a refund for the difference was very disheartening. I felt as though I was being treated unfairly and that my customer service experience was being neglected. It is very unfortunate that some stores, such as Harbor Freight, have managers that do not take customer service seriously and feel that it is acceptable to treat customers in such a disrespectful manner.
The employees, including the manager, had a smirky and sarcastic attitude and when I addressed the manager to get a resolution to this problem, she just brushed it off and made it seem like what I felt did not matter at all, as a Harbor Freight member and customer. This horrible customer service experience made me feel disrespected in the most humiliating way.
I called Harbor Freight customer service and was told:
Price Protection and Price-Match Guarantees
"At Harbor Freight we want to ensure our customers are getting the best price on their purchases. With our price adjustment policy, Harbor Freight gives customers the flexibility to apply coupons to purchases made within the last 30 day"
All I asked for is what Harbor Freight's customer service policy states: if my purchase was made within a specified time period, Harbor Freight will issue me a refund of the difference between what I paid and the sale price. If they couldn't or wouldn't refund cash, I would have been happy to receive a store credit.
I was trying to avoid returning the purchase and buying it again at the sale price.
