I
had
a
terrible
customer
service
experience
at
the
950
E.
Bell
Rd.
restaurant
today.
Unusual,
because
I've
eaten
at
the
same
location
at
least
a
half-dozen
times
and
never
had
a
problem.
When
I
arrived
(at
about
1:45
p.m.
on
a
Saturday),
there
was
no
one
in
line.
The
person
behind
the
counter--a
tall,
slender
young
man,
about
20--was
making
a
milkshake
for
a
customer.
His
back
was
to
the
counter
and
it
took
him
about
three
minutes
to
make
the
milkshake.
When
he
was
finished,
he
acknowledged
that
I
was
there
and
said,
"I'll
be
with
you
in
a
minute,"
or
words
to
that
effect.
He
then
proceeded
to
go
to
the
staging
area
and
seemed
to
be
putting
food
into
bags
for
to-go
orders.
I
saw
two
customers
in
the
restaurant
apparently
waiting
for
their
meals.
Another
five
minutes
passed.
My
order
still
hadn't
been
taken.
I'd
been
there
for
eight
minutes
now.
The
young
man
then
came
back
toward
the
register
where
I
was
standing
to
retrieve
something,
but
it
was
clear
he
still
had
no
intention
of
taking
my
order.
He
didn't
even
look
in
my
direction.
I
said,
"Excuse
me,
but
I've
been
waiting
here
for
more
than
eight
minutes.
Are
you
going
to
take
my
order?"
His
response:
"I
have
other
things
to
do,"
after
which
he
turned
his
back
and
returned
to
his
to-go
orders.
Look,
I
get
that
in
today's
market
it's
hard
to
find
anyone
to
show
up
and
work
at
a
fast-food
restaurant.
But
when
a
customer
asks
to
be
served
and
has
waited
patiently
for
eight-plus
minutes,
the
WORST
response
someone
could
ever
give
is,
"I
have
other
things
to
do."
I
can't
think
of
anyone
with
an
ounce
of
common
sense
who
would
give
that
answer.
Yet,
that's
the
response
I
got
today.
Needless
to
say,
my
son
and
I
left
and
had
lunch
across
the
street
at
Five
Guys.
The
food
was
great
and
my
order
was
taken
immediately
when
I
arrived,
which
is
exactly
what
should
happen.
This
employee
needs
to
be
trained
or
retrained.
Obviously.
Additionally,
if
there’s
only
one
person
doing
all
of
those
jobs
behind
the
counter,
which
results
in
customers
waiting
an
inordinate
amount
of
time
for
their
orders
to
be
taken,
then
there
needs
to
be
more
people
working
behind
the
counter.
Again,
obvious.
What
happened
today
should
never
happen.
There
are
a
lot
of
choices
when
it
comes
to
burger
joints.
The
food
at
Smashburger
is
good,
but
not
so
good
that
I'll
put
up
with
lousy
customer
service.
If
you
want
to
compete,
Smashburger,
you
need
to
do
better.
