Since today's apparently the day for brutally honest reviews, here's mine.
We stopped by after a bike ride, like we've done many times before. Even yesterday felt off,someone from corporate was there, checking in, and the vibe was weird. We didn't see our usual crew, but hey, change happens. I've always believed that as long as Jovan, the longtime manager, was around, the place could stay solid. Well, turns out he's moved on to another store, and everything here is new. I support fresh starts, but not like this.
We placed our order, and when I went to pick it up, the receipt wasn't with it. I waited, hoping someone would check in. No one did. So I asked the nearest staff member, a teenager with zero customer service skills. She looked around and said she didn't know where the receipt was. I asked if she could reprint it. Her response? "I don't know how." I suggested she ask a manager. She rolled her eyes, clicked her tongue, and walked off. A minute later, she came back saying the manager didn't know either. Apparently, they're all new.
What really got me? The manager didn't even come out to see what was going on. I get that new staff need time to learn, but this was just pure unprofessionalism. No apology, no effort to make things right. We left. And it sucks, this used to be our spot. But not anymore.
It wasn't just us. A DoorDash driver was standing around waiting. They gave him one bag, forgot the second, and when it was finally ready, no one told him. He just stood there. No one called out names for orders. No one seemed to care. The music was off, so you could hear everything, including staff talking about me after I walked away. In a quiet store. Seriously?
To whoever's reading this: check your team, get a personable manager, and bring back the energy this place used to have. Dunkin' won't run on this kind of attitude for long.
