Dear [Manager/Subway Corporate],
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the customer service experience at the Subway located inside AV College. If it were possible to give no stars, I would, due to the consistently poor treatment we have received from the staff.
On Wednesday, July 16th, I visited the café with eight of my participants, all of whom have disabilities. We sat at tables that were noticeably dirty, so I politely asked a staff member for a single napkin to wipe the surface. She refused, stating that napkins are only given to paying customers. I explained the tables were unsanitary and again requested just one, or alternatively, a paper towel from the dispenser near the sink. She refused both requests in an unkind manner. It was disheartening to be treated so dismissively over such a small, reasonable request.
The following day, Thursday, July 17th, we returned to the café, as it is one of the cooler spots on campus. A co-worker had placed a mobile order for a sandwich. When he approached the counter at 12:00 p.m. to ask if it could be prepared—while the store was completely empty—he was told by the same staff members that he would need to wait 25 minutes. Despite there being no line or other customers, they refused to make the sandwich sooner. After walking away, we observed the employees talking among themselves and looking at our group while continuing to delay the order.
This type of behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. My team and I are respectful, kind, and easygoing individuals, and we were shocked by the hostility and lack of basic courtesy. It is especially troubling given that we were accompanied by individuals with disabilities who deserve to be treated with dignity.
I strongly urge Subway management to re-train the entire staff at this location—including the shift manager—on proper customer service and disability awareness. No customer should be made to feel unwelcome or disrespected.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope to see meaningful improvements moving forward.
