Very Disappointing Experience with This Location
I placed an order through the Jimmy John’s app around 5:20pm and waited approximately 30 minutes without receiving any update regarding the status of my order. I called the store to find out what was happening. The employee who answered simply said “Hi,” without identifying himself or the store. I explained that I had placed an order through the app and had not received any updates.
I was told that their printer was down, but that they were working on my order and it would be delivered within approximately 10 minutes. I completely understood that technical issues can happen and was willing to be patient.
However, another 20 minutes passed with no delivery or update. At that point, I was no longer able to track my order through the app, and the only option available was to reorder. Shortly afterward, I received a text from Uber stating that my order was scheduled to be delivered at 7:00 p.m.—approximately an hour and a half after I had originally placed the order.
I called the store again and asked to speak with a manager. I explained the situation and what I had previously been told. Rather than receiving an apology or an explanation of how the situation would be resolved, I was met with an argumentative and dismissive attitude. The manager explained that their printer had been down for approximately 20 minutes and that they were backed up by around 20 orders.
I understand that unexpected technical problems and busy periods can happen. However, my concern was that customers were not being proactively informed about the significant delays. I also questioned why my order had suddenly been transferred to Uber and why I was now facing an approximately 90-minute wait. The manager explained that they had to contact Uber to help catch up on the delayed orders.
At that point, because of the significant delay and the way the situation was handled, I requested a refund. Shortly afterward, I received a notification that my order had been canceled. There was no apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience.
My concern is not simply that there was a delay. Problems happen, and I understand that. My concern is the lack of communication and the way the situation was handled when I called to get information about my order. Customers should not have to repeatedly contact the store to find out what is happening, especially when the business is aware that orders are significantly delayed.
Unfortunately, this is not the first issue I have experienced with this particular location. There have been ongoing concerns regarding delivery, food quality, and customer service.
After this experience, I changed my preferred location in the app and placed an order through another Jimmy John’s location. That experience went smoothly without any issues.
I hope management takes this feedback seriously. Technical problems and busy periods are understandable, but clear communication, professionalism, and respectful customer service should remain a priority.
