My review is for the one Labcorp male staff member who was obviously not following company policy.
After waiting as a walk-in for about an hour and seeing that I was still on the 4th page of the queue on screen, I asked one of the staff members behind the front desk if we would get text messages letting us know that our turn is coming up soon. This female staff member respectfully informed me that I would receive a text message when my turn is up and I have 10 min to show up before I lose my spot. She added that I could go to my car if I'd like thanks to this texting protocol. Since I work 5 min away, I decided I'd return to my office and work while I wait for the text message.
Thirty minutes later, I receive a text message that reads "Your Labcorp technician is ready to see you. Please proceed to the Labcorp check-in area and your name will be called shortly." I drove back immediately and I was in the waiting room within 8 min of receiving the text message. First thing I noticed though was that my name was not on the board anymore. I went up to this male staff (glasses, mustache, maybe of Indian descent) and told him I received the text and I got here within the 10 min grace period. He asked what text message I'm talking about so I shared that another staff told me about this text message and 10 min grace period protocol. He said he didn't send any text message, he just came back from lunch so he has no idea what I'm talking about, he can't hold up others just for one person, he has to call someone else up now, so he can talk to me later! He then proceeds to loudly announce to those in the waiting room that if he calls your name and you're not here then you'll be taken off the list.
Obviously, there is a lack of alignment by the staff members at this Labcorp Danville location. Either you send a text message and uphold the 10 min grace period or you don't. You can't send a text message and choose to ignore it. I ended up wasting 2 hours of my work time between waiting and commuting back and forth only to find my spot removed.
I do hope they do better to train all staff members and follow through with these protocols so they do not waste others' times. read more
