Today I made a order for my 2nd attempt at this store in which the 1st attempt was not pleasant as well. Today's visit went surprisingly disrespectful and appalling to say the least.
I arrived, ordered and paid for my sandwiches, got my drinks and sat down to wait. After approximately 20mins I realized that the 3 customers behind me had been served and sandwhiches in hand I went up to the counter. The young man/employee working (the only worker present) states to me, "oh you had the online order?" I replied, "no I made the order standing here." while showing my receipt. His response was, "oh someone must have taken your order then." I replied with, "no one else has been in here and you've never called my name". He replied, "Well that's not my problem." I said, "I don't understand when my husband comes here there's no issue, this is the second time I've been here and everytime the order cannot be produced. Just go ahead and give me a refund." He commenced to be disrespectful and tell me, " you can lick my balls." Customers all the while standing in line watching this behavior. He then told me to leave he was not going to give me a refund and informed me, "I (he) am the one in charge here" when I asked to speak to a manager. I stated, "its illegal to not issue a refund yet also not provide a product." He then came from behind the counter after saying a few other things and locked the door to the store, saying outloud, "everyone will need to leave out the Cefco(convenience store attached to the store)." At this time I internally questioned the safety of myself and the other customers as well as this employees intentions. I verbalized to him that I was dialing the police station. While on the phone making the complaint to the police dispatcher the employee then repeated again to me, "like I said you can lick my balls". While I was on the phone he left the store and went to the Cefco returning with a woman and a police officer. I expressed my concern to the officer and requested a refund in which the woman now states, "I'll have to call the GM." She walked to the back. I continued to speak to the officer. While speaking to the officer, the male employee continued to be rude and disrespectful making disrespectful comments. The officer told the male employee to step back. The male employee left the area and returned to the sandwich station and initiated to make a sandwhich. The female "employee" as I am unsure if she was an employee or not as she came from the Cefco, returned and informed me that the GM wanted my name and # so that she could re-make my sandwiches. I informed her that the GM does not need my name nor number as I would not be returning as this is my second experience with this male employee and I would be contacting corporate over this disrespectful and disgusting matter, I again requested a refund. The woman employee took the receipt and then refunded the transaction. While the female employee was in the process of preparing the refund the male employee returned near the counter and voiced, "bitch, how about you take your fat ass somewhere else." The woman employee instructed the male employee that, "hush, she already said she's calling corporate." He replied with, I don't care I have the right to respond to how I want." She replied, "no you have the right to refuse service." The refund was received. The police officer was standing at the counter during this conversation in it's entirety. The officer also asked if the cameras work and are on the same circuit as the Cefco.
It just absolutely appauls me that this behavior occurred today. My first visit with this store ended in a refund as well. A little over 2 months ago I ordered in store and sat for 46 minutes. I then questioned my order and was ignored by this same male employee. I had to report to court for jury duty that day July 19 so I had to leave to make it in time, so I just left the store. I returned later and requested a refund and he refunded the ticket with no problems.
The behavior of this employee was very disrespectful, and I can't seem to stress that enough. The attitude and disrespect from a employee to a customer that has maintained cordial within the conversation is disdainful.
The continued customer disatisfaction and reviews for this store is horrendus. My family and friends will definitely NEVER return! The service standard is nonexistent here. read more
