You know, I'm a pretty nice guy. I leave a lot of good reviews when things are good and give people a second and third chance when things go wrong. People are human, make mistakes, and shouldn't be punished for an error.
This, however, is a story of not an error, but complete malice.
I eat at JitB with my wife about 2x a week. I love it, it's my guilty pleasure of choice. Tonight, while sick, I asked my wife to pick up an order for us I placed via mobile app. All fine, we've done about 30 mobile orders in the past 3 months. She gets there (a 25 minute drive) and gets our order. Hers is right, she eats it in the car. She gets home and my order is not.
I ordered a cluck sandwich and egg rolls. She was handed a munchies box which had the seal tape for take out orders. She assumed it was right and drove 25 mins back home. I opened it, wrong box. Super irritating but we take part of the blame for not checking. So I get in the car and we head back.
Get there and wait in line. I mentioned I'm sick, so we stay in drive through to minimize contact. Get to the microphone and explain the order was wrong. Lady is already irritated at us saying this, but we paid for food we didn't get and have the wrong box to prove it.
Ordered my food. Cluck with extra pickles and a little mustard. Same way I order it on the app. She says it doesn't come with it, we said substitute the good sauce with a little mustard. "Fine come to window". Angrily and curly, but whatever.
Get to the window, not a "hey sorry about the mixup" or anything like that. Hey I get it. You're fast food and you don't own the place or care about customer satisfaction, I don't even fault you for it. I've been on the front lines like that and wasn't always pleasant. So not a major issue.
Get the food, check, order is right. Head towards home. This is going on an hour and a half from when I placed the order and I was hungry. Open the little pouch for the sandwich and my hand is covered in mustard before I can even grab the sandwich. I take it out of the bag and this thing is bright yellow. Literally there is more mustard on this thing than any human should comfortably eat in a year. Bottom bun is dripping, top bun is dripping, top of top bun is covered. Chicken breading impossible to even see.
Look I get it. I ordered a customized order and asked for something you don't normally customize that way. But you literally put a cup of mustard on a sandwich that asked for light mustard. You put it on the top of the bun, the opposite location of where it's expected to go. You were angry we came back and you wanted to teach me a lesson for daring to have you make a sandwich.
Pictures attached don't even count the 5 napkins we had to throw out because we had to stop at Maverik to get MORE napkins because I was just too hungry to go back a third time. I dropped the bottom bun on myself. You'll see in the picture this is AFTER I wiped it off with 3 napkins already.
Wife convinced me to take a picture of all this when I got home to share. Malicious compliance, not a simple mistake.
I don't ever call for anyone to be fired from their jobs, but I definitely want these people to get some sort of formal notice that it's not OK to f with people's meals. read more
