I’m giving these girls five stars for their patience, professionalism, and how well they handled a very difficult and disrespectful customer. While I was in line, the customer ahead of me started by saying she only wanted one sandwich, but that quickly turned into five, holding up the entire line.
As one employee (a shorter girl with glasses) was making the sandwiches, the customer began speaking to her in a very rude and disrespectful tone. You could clearly see it catch the other employee off guard, who was putting bread away at the time. She immediately stepped in to help, taking over some of the sandwiches and supporting her coworker. It was obvious she wasn’t going to let her coworker be treated that way, but she still stayed calm and professional.
The customer continued to make things more difficult by constantly adding more items and changing what she wanted, piling on vegetables and then suddenly asking for avocado in an aggressive way. Despite this, both employees stayed patient and kept working efficiently.
When it was my turn, the employee (I believe her name was Maddy or Madison) greeted me with a smile and helped me right away, even while still managing the situation with the other customer. She stayed polite, focused, and respectful the entire time. After finishing the customer’s order, Maddy clearly asked if she wanted chips, drinks, or cookies, and even repeated the order back to confirm. The customer had multiple chips on the counter but never asked for drinks. Moments later, she rudely demanded to know where her drinks were. Maddy calmly explained that she hadn’t ordered any, while still keeping a smile and professional attitude. The situation didn’t end there the customer continued complaining, slamming items around, and speaking disrespectfully, even in front of her daughter which is crazy how would you feel if your kid was being treated in that way? At one point, it even looked like she took a picture of the employees, which was completely unnecessary and inappropriate.
Despite everything, both employees handled the situation with patience, teamwork, and maturity. You can tell they’re young, but they stayed composed under pressure and continued to treat everyone with respect. It was honestly shocking to see how poorly the customer behaved, but these girls handled it incredibly well and deserve recognition for their hard work. (I’m sorry if your name wasn’t “Maddy” I think I heard your coworker say your name when she was asking you a question” Good job girls!
