I visited this FedEx Office location around 5:30 PM to drop off a prepaid VFS shipping envelope. There was only one customer ahead of me, and the store was otherwise empty.
The employee working at the counter, Shanna, instructed me to use the self-service kiosk. When I attempted to scan the barcode, the machine displayed a message stating that store assistance was required. After the customer ahead of me left, I politely asked for help. Instead of assisting, Shanna again told me to use the self-service station. When I explained that the kiosk was displaying an error and requiring assistance, she responded, “Can’t you read?” in a rude manner.
I questioned why assistance could not be provided at the counter since the store was empty, and she repeated, “Can’t you read English?” I found this comment offensive, disrespectful, and completely inappropriate customer service behavior.
I am not upset about being directed to self-service. My concern is the manner in which I was spoken to. Customers should be treated with courtesy and respect regardless of the situation. I hope management reviews this incident and provides appropriate coaching.
