I just had an extremely unpleasant experience with Sofia at Safeway at 5510 Norbeck Road in Rockville, Maryland.
Before leaving home, I downloaded two rewards to my card. One was for a free fried chicken. The other was for $7.00 off the purchase of any meat over the price of $7.00. I also downloaded some coupon/deals. I went to the self checkout and used my card which was “accepted.” I scanned the chicken and it showed $8.99 and -$8.99 (that is, the credit). As I was scanning other items, the machine froze. The clerk came over and couldn’t get it fixed so he told me to use a different machine.
I went to another machine and scanned the same card – I only have one. It was “accepted.” As I scanned it gave me the discounts that I had downloaded for “deals,” as it had on the first machine. But it didn’t give me the discount for the chicken or the beef. I called the clerk over and he said that I’d need to go to the customer ABUSE counter.
When I got there, Sofia, the customer ABUSE specialist (living up to her title) continuously told me that I used the wrong “number” when I checked out. I repeatedly told her I had only one card and I used it. Finally, we went back to the first machine and it showed the -$8.99 on the cancelled transaction. Again, she said I must have used a different card. I have ONLY ONE CARD.
Finally, I demanded that she call the manager. The manager, who acted very professionally, used my card and, now, it showed the two “deals.” She said that there must have been a glitch with the machine. But, the entire time I was dealing with the manager, the customer ABUSE specialist, Sofia continued to say, “he used the wrong number before.” Even though the manager asked her to be quiet, she continued her ignorant and insulting recitation.
Sofia should be retrained not to insult customers; to believe them when they tell her that they have only one card; and, to be courteous. If I return to that store in the future and need service, I guarantee I’ll ask for a manager.
