The experience I had today with this Krispy Kreme was the worst experience I have EVER had with any service establishment my whole life. Now I'll preface this by saying I work in the service industry, I know what it's like to have bad days and how hard it is to deal with rude customers in a friendly fashion, but me and my friend were NOTHING but nice.
We placed an order online, a custom dozen of donuts, almost all glazed, but 3 specialty donuts, and I ordered myself a large hot latte. We go through the drive thru to pick it up because we're on a bit of a time crunch. It takes us FOREVER (a solid 10-15 minutes) just to get to the window. That's fine. Whatever. But we get up to the window and the cashier opens the window and tells us a total. We let her know we have an online order we're picking up, just like we did at the ordering speaker. Honest mistake. She goes to close the window and all we hear is "Y'all got an order for ******?" Okay.. a little concerning that we placed it 45 minutes before and it's not ready yet but okay that's fine. No big deal. Then she comes and opens the window and says that 2 of the 3 specialty donuts I ordered they didn't have. I replaced them with glazed, but was a little upset that I paid an extra $3 just for ONE specialty donut, but it's fine. I understand it happens sometimes. When she gets the donuts, she practically throws them into my friend's hands and then closes the door, without another word after my friend said thank you.
We think she's just going to get my coffee at this point since we still haven't gotten it yet, but sure enough a minute later she throws open the window again and says, very rudely, "What y'all waiting on?" I very nicely leaned over my friend and told her that we had a coffee with our order. She slams the door in our faces again. By this point I'm getting pretty upset. I placed the whole order online to make it easier on the workers and yet nothing seems to be coming out right. A minute after she slammed the door, she comes back and asks what kind of latte it was. I very calmly told her that it was a glazed donut flavored one. She slammed the door again and I told my friend that if she came back and asked another question, I was just gonna show her my phone.
Sure enough, she comes back again and asks if it's hot, cold, or frozen. I responded that I was just gonna show her my phone and my friend went to hand it to her and she very rudely said "I know what it is. I just need to know if it's hot, cold, or frozen." I had to stop myself from telling her that obviously if she keeps having to come back and ask me about my order that she didn't know and I instead very flatly told her that it was hot. She slams the door shut AGAIN and walks away. Comes back 5 minutes later with my coffee and practically throws that into my friend's hands again, and my friend gave her a very nice "Thank you" even after everything that had transpired during that interaction and she slammed the window shut in his face without another word and we pulled off, incredibly upset about all that had happened. My coffee doesn't even taste right either, and I had paid an extra $2 for add-ins AND it wasn't filled up all the way.
Needless to say I don't think we'll be going back to that Krispy Kreme anytime soon.
