As a former employee within a Yum! Brands entity and someone who served in a global mid-level leadership role, my expectations for any Yum brand, especially Pizza Hut, are extremely high. Unfortunately, my experience at Restaurant #27276 was unacceptable from start to finish, and employee Yamilet made what should have been a simple pickup order a frustrating and disappointing experience.
When I walked into the store, Yamilet was in the back preparing food with AirPods in while myself and two other customers stood waiting at the front. For nearly five minutes, no one acknowledged us. Another employee walked within less than 50 feet of me, clearly saw me standing there, and instead of greeting me or notifying Yamilet that customers were waiting, he simply returned to his station, also wearing headphones.
I finally had to respectfully call out to the back myself, and Yamilet immediately yelled, “Can you give me a second and wait?” When she eventually came to the front, there was no apology for the delay, no professionalism, and no basic customer service. She simply asked for my name, handed me my food, and disappeared.
Once I got home, I realized my order was incorrect. My items had been switched, and despite paying an upcharge for traditional wings, I was given boneless wings instead. I returned to the store, and again, there was absolutely no apology from Yamilet. She opened my pizza box with her bare hand, asked if I wanted to keep the parts of the order that were right, and then went to prepare the correct wings.
When the replacement wings were ready, she simply placed them on the front counter where customers normally order and pay, with no care, no professionalism, and no accountability.
As a former Yum! Brands employee, a decent human being, and frankly just someone with common sense, I am utterly perplexed by this level of poor service and lack of basic operational standards. This was not just bad customer service, it reflected a complete disregard for brand standards, food handling expectations, and guest experience.
I highly encourage Sean Price, the franchise owner, to review the camera footage and seriously evaluate whether Yamilet should continue representing this business. No customer should have to experience this level of disrespect and incompetence.
As for me, I fully intend to escalate this matter to the team at Pizza Hut corporate because this experience was far below the standard expected from a Yum! Brands operation. Completely unacceptable.
