The experience/visit is either hit or miss, depending on which staff members are working. There are some good staff members, and others that aren't as good. Usually I have a less than pleasant experience when I stop by, particularly on Wednesday mornings. The usual staff on Wednesday mornings never seem to have everything together. I lost count at this point of how many times something went wrong, when I come by on some mornings.
Today's visit in particular just really annoyed me. I ordered a coffee from the drive thru, was told to pull up to the window, and I do so. I see about 4 people inside, just standing and chatting. Two of the staff looked and saw me at the pick up window, but did nothing and resumes whatever conversation they were having.
Minutes pass by, the staff is still chatting, I get a look or two, and still no one moves to greet me or take my payment. There was just no movement - no one was preparing my order.
I sat at the window for 7-10 minutes before I waved at someone to come to the window. They all look at me in confusion. A woman comes to the window, and asked me if I had placed an order... I wanted to laugh, but I just said "Yeah, I did," and then she asked for my order. The second I repeated my order, she retreated inside and it looked like some were scrambling to get my order ready. Who did I speak with when I placed the order? A bot? A prerecording of someone? Perhaps I did, because it turned out that my order wasn't entered in the computer at all. The woman, who I assume is the supervisor or manager, came back to the window and gave me the excuse that she "spilled the coffee and they had to make a new cup." What a lame lie! After I just watched them all do nothing but chat and ignore me for almost 10 minutes. And this wasn't the first time she used this "spilled coffee" excuse on me.
As much as I wanted to call her out on that lie, I just rolled my eyes and let her say her "apologies." She offered to pay for the coffee and a free donut for the trouble. I told her I just wanted the coffee, but she tried one more time with the free donut offer. She handed me the coffee, I took it, and drove off.
Some of the employees have been there for quite some time now, months to almost a year in fact, and some haven't shown much improvement. I hope they get it together and do some retraining or something, cause things shouldn't stay this way. read more
