If I could leave less than one star for this company I would. I have ordered from Pizza Hut for years and haven't ever had issues until just the last few months. Consistently, every single order, I have ran into issues where they forget something, usually the sauces, sometimes the drinks. Tonight I tried to call the store after I ordered, intending to add onto my order and pay cash for the items they normally forget to send, if they actually remembered to bring them this time. I called a local number, but I was connected to the call center, where the guy on the line was so unbelievably rude that I don't know how he still has a job. I've worked call centers and you do NOT treat your customers the way he talked to me. He said there was no way to connect me to the actual store and when I asked if he could please just add the sauces, he informed me that the price of my order was now $42 instead is $25 because the discounts I had gotten online came off when he altered my order. I told him forget it, hung up and called another number I found online that looked like it might be the actual store phone number and ended up in the call center again.
The second guy was very nice and polite and said he would connect me to the actual store so I could talk to them.....ring ring, and I'm back at the call center AGAIN! I told the guy that I was supposed to be being transferred to the store directly and his response was "that's doubtful, we don't do that, you can only talk to the call center."
Honestly, just the worst customer experience ever. Their food is losing its appeal more and more as the lack of good customer service makes every meal a stressful event. Who wants to wait 45 minutes while they go back and get your forgotten sauces and drinks, meanwhile your pizza gets cold and your kids get crabby because they want to eat?? I've left feedback on the app, which is completely useless....they clearly don't follow up at all with customer complaints or issues. I was told I could call and ask to speak to a manager, but considering I still can't figure out how to contact the store directly, I'm not even sure how that is possible. I'd have to go in, which doesn't exactly thrill me to have to take time out of my day to drive there to hope the manager is actually working, and only maybe get a resolution.
Considering at least two pizza places have closed in our town in the last year or so, maybe they should be a little more caring about their customers and make sure issues are addressed and at least have a way for someone to call their store directly! Seriously, hiding behind the call center just signifies a place that doesn't give a rip about truly caring for their customers. Every time I have walked in their store it's completely empty, yet even then the service is just horrible and it takes forever for them to get anything done at all, or even to be acknowledged as being in the store to begin with as they are usually watching TV.
About the only other place that has worse service is the Cottage Grove, MN Wendy's, but at least you can actually speak to a real person in the store when they screw up your order.
