Here we go again --- yet another 1 star from me....but if I could rate them ZERO stars, I would totally do that. This place is CRAP --- the only reason I come here is my daughter loves Taco Bell and this location is convenient to our home, otherwise I'd not come to this place at all based on the CRAPPY service that we've gotten so many other times before. But after yesterday's visit, I am 100% boycotting this place and will NEVER return to this location. I hate writing angry reviews but this is warranted and I hope nobody else has an experience like mine. I work in a customer service environment myself and would NEVER treat a customer the way we were treated. I'd actually be embarrassed to work for a company or even a manager that treats people like scum. So here we go with our experience:
I went through drive thru and placed an order for a shredded chicken quesarito, a side of creamy jalapeno sauce, a side of nacho cheese, cinnamon twists, and a frozen Baja Blast. The clerk repeated my order to me and I confirmed that it was correct on the screen. Drive around to the window and pay --- due to COVID I put my own credit card in the machine and they don't give me a receipt so I drive up to the next window to get the food. It's all packaged, handed to me and is sealed w/a sticker. I open the bag quickly to count my items and drive off....expecting my order to be correct right? Well, get home and I have to get logged back in for working from home and my daughter un-bags her meal...comes to me and says "Mommy, they didn't give me a quesarito again".....instead they gave her some sort of cheese burrito/wrap thingy (don't even know what it was). As disappointed as I was that she was disappointed, I couldn't run back up there like I've done before to have them exchange it for what I ordered as I had a call I had to jump on in 10 minutes. So I decided to call the store and complain about this and told my daughter that unfortunately she would have to just eat what they gave her.
I called, a girl answers w/no greeting just a "hello". I tell her that I was calling to complain about an order that I just went through drive thru for and in the middle of me talking, she says "hold on" and hands the phone to the manager (I'm assuming), again w/no name or greeting just a "hello" but with a major attitude. Now know that I did not have an attitude in speaking to the other girl but I did get one when this lady picks up the phone and has one w/me w/o even knowing the circumstances. I say "hi and that I wanted to complain about an order that I just picked up through drive thru" when she interrupts me angrily and says "YOUR ORDER WAS CORRECT". I counter with "excuse me?, you didn't let me finish". To which she asks for what I ordered --- I tell her my order and she tells me that I didn't order that. That I ordered a burrito and that's what it said on the screen that they asked me to confirm and she stated that I confirmed that was correct. I told her no, I confirmed that I ordered a quesarito and it was correct on the screen. She asked me "well tell me how much you paid, how much was your total" to which I tell her "I don't recall since you all don't give me a receipt". She says "WE DON'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU A RECEIPT DUE TO COVID"....say what!? First I'm ever hearing that receipt exemption is part of the COVID protocols but whatever. I shrug it off....and she doesn't let me speak and is telling me (in a heated voice) that she made the order and she knows it was correct and she's not going to do anything to fix it....now yes, this did get my temperature rising and I was so angry by the way she was treating me that I was literally shaking....yes, I did yell right back at her and tell her that the order was incorrect and I didn't have time to run back up there but ultimately I wanted to have a credit for the next visit as I paid for a quesarito and I don't even know what they gave me. She told me that if I continued w/my tone that she was ending the call. I yelled back at her telling her that I would change my tone if she changed hers...that she began this call w/an attitude and CLICK!!!! WTF!!!
My hubs and daughter were sitting at the table w/me and both looking astonished by the call --- they know that it really takes some effort to get me this angry. And I was beyond that point --- literally still shaking with anger. My hubs grabbed the bag, dropped the food in there and headed up to Taco Bell since I couldn't as he was going to go confront her and get a copy of the receipt to show what I paid for versus what we received. When he returned home, he told me about his visit and I am still in disbelief that we were treated the way we were by this lady. She is the manager of that location and an older lady but we could not get her name as she or the other staff members would not tell us.
