I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an extremely unpleasant and unprofessional experience that occurred at your store located at 447 Great Mall Drive, Space 209, Milpitas, CA 95035.
On 12.07.2025.
I visited the store with my two young children. We had purchased food (Pretzel Dog) from Auntie Anne's and walked into the store while getting ready to look at the crystal products. Suddenly, the female employee at the front counter--a middle-aged white woman--yelled loudly across the room, saying "Do not touch!" even though we had not touched anything at all. She then continued yelling "No food allowed," again in a very rude tone. There was absolutely no need for her to raise her voice, especially with children present. A simple, polite explanation would have been enough and she could have walked up to me and told me quietly instead of yelling across the store
I immediately took my children outside and handed the food to my husband, then returned to the store to speak with the manager, a Filipino male employee with large eyes. I explained to him that the employee's behavior was totally unacceptable and asked for her to apologize--because she could have simply walked over and spoken to us politely instead of yelling across the room. However, the manager repeatedly said that he "could not force someone to apologize" and that "there is nothing he can do," and only offered to apologize on her behalf. His attitude was also very poor and dismissive, giving me the impression that customer concerns are not taken seriously here.
This kind of customer service is completely unacceptable. As paying customers in a large shopping center like Great Mall, we deserve basic respect. The employee should be educated on how to speak to customers appropriately, and I strongly believe she owes us a direct apology. In addition, the manager's unprofessional handling of the situation should be addressed.
After leaving the store, two other customers approached me and shared that they had also experienced the same rude behavior from both the same employee and the manager in the past. They stated that they plan to leave negative Google reviews due to the repeated poor treatment. This clearly indicates that this is not an isolated incident, and if nothing is done, it will continue damaging your business reputation.
DO NOT SHOP IN HERE!!!! read more
