I called before I went in the show room, was told I didn't need an appointment, so I went ahead and headed over. I'd already had a bad experience with another countertop company in the area and am excited about updating my kitchen.
When I got there the lady working in the lobby ignored me, this is where the bad customer service starts....she could of acknowledged me and let me know that she'd get to me as soon as she was finished with the customer she was with, but not a word. I understood that I was a walk in though and was willing to wait.
The phone rang, she answered it and left the customer in the store hanging for at least 5 minutes while she handled the call, couldn't she of have taken a message? I was taught that the customers in the store come first.
She finally acknowledged as she headed out the door with the other customer, the first thing out of her mouth in a stern tone was "Do you have an appointment?" I told her "no" while thinking it was good thing I didn't because I've been here for going on 30 minutes and you're just now accepting my presence. She looked like she was having a hard time handling her two customers in the showroom so I gave her the benefit of the doubt and waited. She actually left us in the showroom alone.
While waiting, another employee came in with his customers.....no acknowledgement, didn't even look at us.
Another customer walks in, I ask her a few questions, like did she have an appointment, she seemed upset and asked if it was required, I explained that I was curious because I was told I didn't need one. She then clued me on how she had been had treated and how she had left a $2000 deposit and no one ever got back with her to come measure.
Then the sales lady comes back, rudely asks the new lady I'd been chatting with if she had an appointment, when she says no and that she'd made a deposit way back in September and just wanted to know what was going, she was told that her estimate was emailed to her, and then....get this.....when she said she didn't get it the lady snapped at her and asked if she checked her spam, her reply was yes, every day, the lady who works there says "well I'll have to look it up" again rudely....why would you argue with someone who gave you $2000? Why would you not even say "Hi" to me when I walked in the showroom?
At this point, I stood up and said, I don't like the customer service in this place and walked out, plus, I didn't want to loose $2000.
Guess, they can't deal with more than one customer in their store and they don't know how to have a polite conversation or at lease greet people who walk in, not going back. Get some customer service training and stop taking people's money and not doing the work! read more
