Writing this review saddens me this evening. It's unfortunate to have to take out time to write this email. However, after the experience I had with some of the representatives of your company, it is my top priority to share with you the disgusting encounter I had. Your entire team located at 1337 Powers Ferry Rd, Marietta Ga needs to be retrained and informed on the significance of customer service and how detrimental it is to your brand and company. On June 1st, 2023, at around 11:45 am est, I drove into the drive-thru with my two daughters. Immediately as I drove up to the menu, the gentleman's voice welcomed me to "Jimmy Johns," etc.,
I asked the gentleman whether he could give me a second
For us to determine all three of our orders. In under thirty seconds, he interrupted us, discussing what we wanted, and asked me in the rudest and nastiest tone, "Maam, Would you just come inside?"
I responded and asked him not to be rude.' " I asked you if you would give me a second.
He snarks me with a response, "There are other people's orders I must take."
My daughters and I immediately turned around to see what people were in line. The only vehicle in the drive-thru was mine.
I ask him, "What people?" I change my mind; I will be happy to come inside." I parked the car, and my older daughter stepped out of the car with me, and we walked inside. When I walked inside, there was no customer in the entire store. I observed two different people wearing headgear. We walk up to the counter, and one of your staff members asks, " Can I help you?"
I asked her if she could grab a manager for me. When the gentleman approached the counter and asked how he could help me, I noticed he was one of the two wearing the headgear. I asked him if it was him that I was speaking to in the drive-through. He snorkels at me and says yes, that's me.
" And you are the manager?" I asked.
"I am," he says in a condescending tone.
I asked him what his name was, and he informed me that his name was Marcus and refused to give me his last name when I asked.
" Marcus, who is your manager?" I inquired
"Jay," he says.
" Does Jay have a last name?" I asked.
"No, not at all."
" You mean to tell me you are a general manager that doesn't know your boss's last name?" I asked, puzzled.
I tell him okay, no problem, I will look it up. My daughter and I turned away to head to the door, and right as we were about to exit, I heard him call me a Bitch, and his entire staff laughed. He made a mistake by saying that because, unfortunately, we heard him. I immediately turned around and told him I listened to what he called me. Marcus, your General manager, and his staff decided to go back and forth with me and told me to GET OUT!!!
I have been in the hospitality industry for 24 years, and the first important part of training is having impeccable customer service. You should be embarrassed. As a brand, treating any guest or customer that way is a significant disappointment. The sad part is Marcus is exposing his team to a terrible example of leadership. Going to that location was regrettable. My youngest daughter was having a rough morning after leaving her doctor's appointment; she expressed she finally had an appetite, which was a celebrating moment. I allowed her to select whatever she had a taste for, and she decided on Jimmy Johns. I am outraged and unfulfilled. I was surprised to find out we would be treated that way. Unfortunately, the reflection of your leadership in Marcus being one of your General Managers has left a nasty taste in my mouth. We will never enter that location again. What can you do to fix this? I need someone to have accountability, and I would appreciate an apology. This was an encounter that was the most negative I have ever experienced inside a place of business. read more
