I have been going to Randy's gas bar for a number of years now but as of today that will be the last time I go there.
On two different occasions this past 3months I have had the misfortune of getting this very rude & ignorant attendant, he has no concept on how to talk properly to a customer.
The first time I had the misfortune to meet the individual I asked him how he was enjoying this fine weather, his reply to me was I don't waste my time talking about the weather, what for. I thought maybe he was having a bad day?????
Today was the second time I had the misfortune of meeting the same attendant. Remembering our first encounter I thought I won't ask him about the weather but instead I asked him how he was doing, his reply was do you want a fill up no eye contact wouldn't even look my way, wow what great customer service this guy has.
There were a number of cars he was looking after & soon my pump clicked off so I thought I would help out by restarting it as I have done before, when Mr. Congeniality sees this he told me no he would look after it, I told him I was only trying to help out. He then started to fill my spare 5 gal. gas can then walked away to talk to someone in a truck. This was not a problem as I was in no rush at that time.
The pump clicked off again so again I thought I would help him out which as I said have done on other occasions. When he sees I have restarted the pump again he got very upset & starts telling me this is not self services why don't you listen to me there are sign's all over which by the way if there are I did not see them??? I told him I was sorry I was only trying to help him but he just kept up the badgering.
I told him he did not need to be so rude & he did not need to speak to me in that manner but to not avail he just kept on lipping off. I told him that was enough & just finish the job so I can get out of here. With a grin on his face he asked me if I would like to speak to a manager?? I said no just give me my change. He then took the bills I handed him & inspects them by holding them up to the sky one by one, really why does this man believe he can treat people like that?.
If Randy's Smoke Shop & Gas Bar believes this is how you treat customers then I'm sure they will be losing a lot more customers in the near future. Just a thought you might want to go over your customer services policy with your employees, I certainly know one person on your payroll that could benefit from it. Sorry but one rotten apple did spoil the barrel for me this time.
As I said @ the start I'll now be going down the hill a 1/8th of a mile to Smokin Joe's where they know the proper way to treat a customer. read more
