Extremely Disappointing and Unacceptable Experience
This was easily one of the worst customer-service experiences I have ever had at Dunkin’. I came in during my lunch break expecting to order my food, receive it within a reasonable amount of time, and get back to work. Instead, I wasted my entire lunch break waiting for an order that was NEVER EVEN STARTED.
The associates, Omar and Brandon, appeared to be more concerned with horseplaying, joking around, and eating than actually taking care of customers. I repeatedly asked about my food and was continuously told that it was “on the way.” That turned out to be completely false. After wasting nearly my entire break waiting, I finally discovered that my order had never even been sent to the machine, meaning they had not started preparing it at all.
That is what makes this experience especially unacceptable. I wasn’t waiting because the restaurant was simply busy or because my food was taking longer than expected. I was waiting for food that nobody was even making, while I was repeatedly being told it was coming.
At that point, I was so frustrated that I requested a refund because I no longer had time to wait for them to finally start an order that should have been processed long before. I had to return to work after spending my entire lunch break at Dunkin’ without the food I came there to get.
The lack of urgency, communication, accountability, and basic professionalism was unbelievable. If someone had bothered to actually check my order the first time I asked, they would have realized immediately that it had never been sent through. Instead, I was allowed to stand there wasting my limited lunch break while being given incorrect information.
This was beyond poor service—it was careless and completely disrespectful of my time as a paying customer. Management seriously needs to address what happened because customers should not have to babysit their own orders to make sure employees actually send them to the kitchen.
I left hungry, angry, without my order, and having wasted my entire lunch break. I requested my money back because, after this experience, a refund was the absolute minimum that should have been done. This experience was completely unacceptable, and I would strongly reconsider ever returning to this location.
