I am writing to express my disappointment with my experience at your location today.
I ordered a Blizzard, which, unfortunately, was not filled to the standard I expected for the price paid, the portion size was noticeably small. More concerning, however, was the interaction with a crew member named Stef (name tag noted). Her communication was very rude and dismissive.
I usually enjoy visiting your establishment, but this experience fell significantly short of expected customer service and product quality. I hope this feedback can be used to provide additional training to staff regarding customer interactions and product consistency.

This review is specifically for Oak Bay location (Foul Bay & Cadboro Bay, Victoria, BC). It is located right next to “the Pet Store” and thought they would have some ideas for a “pup cup”.
I asked to see if they offer pup cup while I ordered for the whole family. Instead, the customer service team gave me an empty cup. There might have a language barrier. But it’s the attitude of the customer service team. Eventually, I showed them the internet thread on the internet. One customer service team said “no, we just have empty cup” and both were quite dismissive about it. Eventually, one of them said they could sell me a small ice cream in a cup for the price of small Sundae. Without wanting to deal with it anymore, I just paid for it and got out.
Could you please train your staff to be a bit more polite and respectful while providing them with all the necessary information regarding pup treats? I understand that not all franchises offer this. If this location doesn’t offer pup cup, all you have to do is to provide your staff with that information and what your franchise is offering for dogs, how much to charge etc.
This location has been my go to since 2002. Today experience left a very bitter taste in my mouth for sure.
