I want to acknowledge that a lot of this oversight was due to the new app update. I wasn't used to the favorites being listed before nearby stores, and I don't use the Chick-fil-A app as much as I used to. A few days ago, I accidentally sent my order to the wrong location, and while that was my fault, the worker at that store was completely unsympathetic and offered no helpful tips on how to fix it. I had to figure out that I could cancel and resubmit the order on my own.
Fast forward to this week—I finally sent my order to the right location. However, this experience was even worse. I accidentally selected carry-out instead of drive-thru, which really shouldn't have been a big deal. The lady at the counter didn’t seem to care about my mix-up and just told me to go to the pick-up counter. I waited there for 10 whole minutes, completely ignored. Just when I was about to ask for assistance, one of the workers peeked through the window to say goodbye and give out her Instagram handle, which felt so unprofessional.
When I finally got to the counter, I was ignored again, and another customer interrupted me to receive their order first. I then received only one drink, and when I mentioned my other items, the employee seemed confused and handed my order back to someone without explaining anything. I ended up waiting even longer for my food. After I finally put my food in the car to get my ice cream cones, I returned to see her standing there, still behind another customer, instead of just handing my order to me directly.
Overall, the unprofessional behavior from the staff was disappointing. From indifferent attitudes to poor communication, it felt like customer service was the last thing on their minds. It’s frustrating because the food is good, but the experience left much to be desired.
