Dear French Baker Management,
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I received at one of your branches in the Philippines at SM Mall of Asia.Unfortunately, my recent experience was far below the standards I have come to expect from The French Baker.
On Saturday October 19 2024 around 3:30pm, an accident occurred where the tray I was carrying fell while I was grabbing a drink in the fridge between the cashier and bread stands causing some of the bread items I was waiting to pay for to land on the floor. While I understand that such incidents can be inconvenient, I was deeply disappointed with how the situation was handled by your manager on duty, Arianne Mae Castillo.
Instead of offering assistance or suggesting a reasonable solution, such as simply just offering to replace the bread for fresh ones instead she insisted that I pay for the ones that fell on the floor and also pay for the replacement. This felt unjust, as accidents can happen to anyone, and I would have expected a more understanding and customer-focused approach.
My husband and I are visiting out of the country and wanted to try this place, but this incident has left me with a negative impression of how your staff handles customer relations, particularly during unfortunate events. I kindly request that this matter be addressed, and that future customers are treated with more empathy and fairness. We ended up paying for the 3 bread that fell on the floor that cost around 450 pesos including the 2 coconut drinks. The only items we ended up keeping are the drinks since we will not consume food items that had fallen on public floor where multiple foot traffic happens and we did not want to get sick.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this complaint. I look forward to hearing from you regarding how this situation will be resolved.
Sincerely,
Joanna Solares read more
