Ordered online, went in around 6pm to pick it up and the service was poor.
A tall Caucasian man wearing a branded Papa Johns beanie and mirrored sunglasses helped the customer in front of me. The tall man acted like a manager or an operator. I held the door as the customer left, and when I walked back to the counter there was no one there.
For several minutes I just stood there unacknowledged watching Mirrored Sunglasses talk to drivers and check things.
When a cook came up and asked my business, I told them I had an online order.
The cook turned around, found it, and handed it to me right away.
So I've been standing here for no reason while the food gets cold on the shelf?
A simple solution would have been for anyone to just give a shout and ask why I was there. Full staff but no teamwork here.
Very disappointing, a poor customer experience all around.
I expected higher standards and better teamwork from Papa John and expect we will go to a Domino's next time.

Papa Johns is still one of my favorite pizza's it's normally hot and tasty. Lately the service has been downhill at best. I was in the cedar bluff location and the store was packed I guess for the CFP game the managers were screaming at each other at the top of there voice about what each needs to be doing. It does not add to a customers experience to be involved in management problems when all you want is quick service and go. I was also told a up to a 1 hour wait for pizza. I will select one of the other 1,000 places to get pizza next time.

Came on here to give a shout out to our delivery driver, Travis. He was so sweet and had the best attitude. Never knew receiving a pizza could be so fun! He made my day. He was simply excellent!
