Absolutely DISGUSTING customer service. Whoever was working here tonight seriously needs to be retrained, because this level of rudeness and arrogance towards a paying customer is genuinely embarrassing. I very rarely leave negative reviews because I’m usually the type of person to just brush things off and get on with my day. However, this experience was so unnecessarily disrespectful that I genuinely feel compelled to say something.
From the moment I walked in, the employee had an unbelievably hostile and dismissive attitude. I was looking at the menu and was immediately told, rudely, that he wasn’t going to take my order and that I had to use the machine. I explained that I was simply looking at the menu, yet he repeated himself with the same condescending attitude. Apparently, looking at a menu before ordering is too much to ask.
The interaction only got worse. After being told that the ovens weren’t working, I ordered a meatball sub, only to be met with an incredibly patronising response along the lines of, “Why would you order that when I literally told you we don’t have it?” He spoke to me as though I were a child, rather than a customer who had made a simple mistake and was perfectly happy to choose an alternative. The hostility was completely disproportionate and frankly embarrassing behaviour from someone working in customer service.
He then offered me steak as an alternative, only to contradict himself when I asked about it, and became argumentative when I pointed out that he had literally just offered it to me. The entire interaction felt like he was looking for an argument over the most trivial things. There was absolutely no reason for a straightforward order to become this unpleasant, he was so lazy he used the same glove he used for the meat and cheese to dip into the marinara sauce with his hand and smear it over my sub, no glove change, no utensil, just his hand.
To make matters worse, paying took several minutes because the card reader appeared to have been switched off, while he sat in the back on his phone with seemingly no urgency and no apology for the inconvenience.
Let me be clear: this review is NOT because they had run out of ingredients or because the ovens weren’t working. These things happen, and I was more than willing to work around them. It is the employee’s attitude that made this experience absolutely appalling. There is a massive difference between being unable to provide something and deliberately making a customer feel stupid, unwelcome and as though they’re a nuisance for simply trying to buy food.
I don’t expect an employee to jump for joy every time a customer walks through the door, but I do expect basic respect. You are working in customer service. Speaking to people like they’re beneath you is not a personality trait; it’s a failure to do your job properly.
I genuinely cannot remember the last time I felt the need to write a review this negative. That alone should tell you how unnecessarily awful this interaction was. Management seriously needs to address the standard of customer service at this branch, because being open for business means very little when customers are treated with such blatant disrespect.
Absolutely appalling. I left feeling more irritated by the employee’s attitude than anything else that happened. If you cannot speak to customers with basic courtesy, you should seriously reconsider whether customer-facing work is for you. DO BETTER.
