I accidentally placed my online order at the wrong location. My son arrived a few minutes after 9:00 pm and walked in to use the restroom. The employee behind the counter, Daniel, immediately said, “We’re closed.” My son explained he was going to the restroom, and Daniel replied, “There are other places open you can go to.” When my son said he was picking up an online order, Daniel said, “Then sure.”
After using the restroom, my son went to grab the order. The drinks were not made (unlike other locations), and while my son was making them himself, Daniel commented, “It would be nice if you showed up before 9.” My son ignored the comment, checked the order, and noticed a 20 oz Coke was missing. He grabbed it and left.
My son is very patient, but he told me he would never return to this location due to the poor attitude. I went back inside to get the employee’s name, and as I walked out, Daniel sarcastically said, “Have a great night.”
To make things more frustrating, I didn’t receive a notification that my order was ready until 9:20 pm. If the order was ready earlier, it should have been marked as such. The whole point of online ordering is convenience and grab-and-go service.
Yes, I should have arrived before closing time, but basic courtesy and professionalism still matter. Unfortunately, this experience missed the mark.
