I have been going to this particular White Castle when no other is open or too far away for over 20 years. I've given them chances time and time again and they always drop the ball. Orders are never right, takes forever to get the food and the customer service is horrible. This will be the last time I ever go to this one.
First of all I ordered using the app. I've done this for over 3 years now at multiple stores with no problems whatsoever. This was the first time I tried it at this one. I figured if they had the order printed out and right in front of them there is no way they could mess it up. Wow was I wrong.
The app told me to give them 15 minutes. I know this one WC is slow, so I got there 20 minutes later. I sat at the speaker for 3-4 minutes before anyone even said anything. I told them I had an online order and they told me to pull forward. There was one car there in front of me. After 5 minutes the driver of the car in front of me honked the horn and asked what is taking so long. The window opened and a bag of food was thrust at her window. I get to the window and sit for another 3-4 minutes before they even open the window. When they do they asked if I ordered the jalapeno cheeseburgers. I said yes. I had to wait another 5 or so minutes before they were given to me without any comment or even a "no problem" when I said thanks. When I got home, the burgers were not made how I had ordered them, and they obviously hadn't even bothered to look at the online order (add pickles and mustard) until I pulled up to the window. If this was a one time thing I'd let it go. But this ALWAYS happens at this location.
This is, without a doubt, the WORST WC I've ever been to. And I've traveled all over the continental US. What makes it even worse is the attitude of the workers. From trainee to manager they're never friendly or willing to fix your order and just generally act like you're bothering them. I'm sure nothing will come from this review, since this store has been this way and has the reputation of being this way for over 20 years now. But if by some off chance the GM or regional manager reads this, you really need to clean house and change the culture of this store. I've been in customer service for a decade, and I wouldn't have a job if I acted like the employees here.
My advice is to go to the Plymouth Rd. store if they are open, or just drive to the 8 Mile one. Even with the extra drive you're most likely going to save time and get your order correctly made. It's worth the extra hassle not to deal with the dumbfounding level of incompetence this store allows. read more
