I hate to leave this review but have never in my life delt with such disrespectful employees which your company have given the manager title to. I have watched many movies here and Sunday 4/24/22 my husband and I came for the 7:30pm movie arriving at 7:00. As observing seemed the staff was maybe short but definitely not moving in orderly manner. Finally A young man came over to take our order as he explained he don't normally take orders but he's helping out. Ok great. Took our order and left.. we waited and waited . Then we get served our popcorn and no drinks. My husband and I just looked at each other. Girl comes though and and he asked can u check on our drinks been here now for 40 minutes and nothing is coming in orderly form. She said sorry we are behind. Moved on . Then my husband drink shows up but not mine lol.. so with all the disarray he asked can I already get my refill I been waiting for this for 40 minutes. Guy says you need to put ur order in rolls on . My husband is more frustrated. As my drink shows up , Then comes a young guy who refers himself as " The manager ". Not coming to address the situation but to basically call my husband a liar and that he is harassing his staff. Well then my husband still keeping his voice low says excuse me???Didnt know asking about my order is harassing?? And trying to have a somewhat conversation of his side when told to leave!!! Unbelievable. If you are working in the customer service industry, it is safe to say that you will be dealing with angry customers 80% of the time. The thing about anger is that it can be dissipated when you use empathy, apologise and use what you have learned about customer service. While you can't control problems or complaints due to bad service . you can control what you say to customers who are already upset. the last thing he wants to hear are your standard procedures. And words such as Bro, a smirking smile, and told your harassing our employees.. Customers want to feel special and you need to sound considerate of his situation. But instead he was asked to leave. The manager and the hear say of your employees is not laws set in stone but are flexible for consideration. Your manager needs to be trained to emphasize key points in customer service. This way it will prevent irate customers. Remember that in diffusing a customer's anger and frustration, you need to choose your words carefully. Instead of saying, " your a liar & you're harassing our employees and I need to ask you to leave"!!!and more focused on the manager titled and impressing your coworker instead of your customers. More professional & approachable manner would been "Sorry to hear that, here's what I can do for you."When you take ownership of the problem, you are giving your customer a sign that all will be taken cared of - even if on your side, it isn't, not entirely of course. When customers pay to watch a movie they sign up for your service, they expect that downtimes won't occur, after all problems in your service aren't their problems - they're your company's problems. Your customers don't care, nor should they. The brutal truth is - they expect to get what they paid for. Don't make excuses. Apologise but more importantly, fix it - immediately. If you can't fix it, own up to it. Your " manager " needs to learn how to handle it effectively without the need to escalate the issue. Which is exactly what he did. My husband was just upset and needed to be heard. By employing active listening skills, ownership, assistance and most importantly, apologising and choosing the right words during their conversation, and my frustrated husband would eventually be appeased. But instead he was made to leave and then band . Unbelievable actions from your employees whom represent your company.
