If I could have given 0 stars, I would have. This review is only for the Schenectady location, other locations have great service and are friendly. I see so many reviews saying staff is rude and orders are incorrect. When is someone going to do something about this. Clearly your staff needs better guest relations training. When they forget or mess up orders, they are rude and dismissive. They refused to deal with any sort of conflict that might be due to their actions. They gaslight the guest to make them feel like they are the ones being rude and become overly defensive to the point where they escalate simple situations. Please help them. They are severely struggling.

Forgot five bagels in our order. Refused to make the bagels when we came in to get them after calling them about their mistake. Also when we called about our missing food, the manager hung up on us. Worst service I’ve ever seen. If could give 0 stars I would.

Ordered 2 plain with jalapeno cream cheese. I don't know if they were out of cream cheese or the employee was just lazy but the cream cheese was non existent. Hey Dunkin is right across the street guess they will get my business

Was waiting for my bagel and there was a man who obviously appeared to be homeless?? But he was causing a disturbance and yelling EXTREMELY loudly and I honestly was gonna walk out because of how uncomfortable I was. If I was the manager I would do something about this, this type of loitering will drive customers away
