I have a gift card to Spa Walden that my husband got me in 2016. I haven't used it because honestly who has the time for an entire Spa day with 3 kids, 2 jobs and a husband who travels a lot?!? Well, the gift card lost $150 in value. When I asked the money to be reinstated or if they can accommodate me in any way, Barry said there was nothing she could do and it's against the law in Ohio to do that. Now, I'm not a lawyer, but WTF?!? What kind of law doesn't allow for a business to give the customer back money they already spent?!? I said at this point, I'd rather throw the gift card in the garbage than step foot in their facility. I can only be so nice for so long when being treated like an gullible idiot. So, I said it's bullshit that there is absolutely nothing they can do for me. I explained that I work in customer service and I find it hard to believe there is absolutely nothing in her power she can do to accommodate me. She first told me she didn't appreciate me cursing at her. I apologized for cursing and said that was never my intention. She then told me "MAYBE YOU'RE NOT GOOD AT YOUR JOB IF YOU'RE TALKING TO ME LIKE THIS!!!"
I live and breath customer service!! BUT, in this situation, I AM THE CUSTOMER SO I DON'T HAVE TO KISS YOUR BUTT- YOU SHOULD BE KISSING MINE! I take pride in my job and cannot stress how much I harp on the importance of customer service to my staff, so to have her say that, to question my integrity?? Really? How dare she make me, the customer (with a big mouth) feel that way?!? They need someone better at customer service running their spa- they'd be lucky to have me as am employee. read more
