I recently visited Shake Shack in Del Mar and was extremely disappointed with the service. After placing an order for my family, they delivered it to our table and after they walked away I noticed they had forgotten my daughter's burger, a single Shack Burger with avocado. When the guy came back to deliver my sister's family order, I informed him about the missing burger. He asked which one and then proceeded to touch my burger that was still on the tray, opening it up to check if it was the missing one with avocado. When I asked why he was touching my burger, he responded that it was their procedure to inspect all the burgers. He could have easily asked me to open it instead of putting his hands on my food...gross! Also, it's clear the orders weren't inspected because my sister was also missing a burger from her order.
Ten minutes later, we still had not received the missing burger, and when I checked, they insisted they had already brought it, which they had not. Maybe they thought it was the burger delivered that was for my sister's order? After telling them I was still missing the burger, the two employees involved came to our table to verify, making me feel as if they didn't believe me. Eventually, a lady behind the counter who seemed to be the manager noticed what was going on and asked what was missing. She assured me it would be made right away. When the other two employees returned, I overheard her say that sometimes they should choose their battles. What?! I was just trying to claim my daughter's missing burger and now I'm feeling like the bad guy!
Spending $75 at a fast food place is already too steep, but the poor customer service made the experience even worse. It felt like they thought I was trying to get a free burger, which was insulting. We often eat at various Shake Shack locations, but clearly, customer satisfaction is not a priority at this one.
