Customer Service at Arby's in Westville Indiana

Complaint

I went to an Arby’s in March of 2007 and ordered a chicken salad. I went to school and started studying for a test and opened my salad. No chicken. The next time I went through their drive-thru I asked to see the manager and told (Amy) about my last visit and they need to do a better job.

This must have pressed a button with Amy because she insinuated I was trying to get free food even though I had already paid for my current order. She and I discussed the difficulties of management when she said she wasn’t a manager, she was a "team leader". I said I asked to speak to a manager, hoping to find somebody in responsibility, and she said they don’t have a manager and she was the person in charge. I said, "that’s terrible. You get manager headaches and I bet they don’t pay you any more than the rest of the crew." She responded with, "That’s very rude, you can just wait on your food." And shut the drive-thru door and then she got on her phone (I assume to the cops).

So I sat there and waited until somebody else came through the drive-thru. Then they gave me my food. Amy was still in a huff when I told her I was going to complain about her specifically. "Go for it!" she yelled out the window as I slowly pulled away.

Since filing my complaint I have made numerous attempts to speak with someone, anyone from Arby’s about their rude and abusive treatment toward customers and I won’t be happy with an apology, even if they bother to offer one. All I have gotten in return is a form letter asking if my complaint was handled to my satisfaction. I was NEVER contacted any other way. Needless to say, I won’t go to that Arby’s anymore (not for any reason except that their personnel are terrible) and I tell my story to whoever will listen. If I were a litigious person I would see what a lawsuit might bring, but then I wouldn’t be able to gripe about this event. Still, I think Arby’s should do something for a customer that only wanted their service to improve.

    Whenever you have resturant problem. I always tell people to go to their online website. On there you can get the corporate number. Call the corporate headquaters. Or fill out the form to cooperate headquaters onlin. Leave your number. Someone will call you and make amends. never mess with the store that screws up as they cover each others back...call cooperate headquaters instead..trust me you'll save alot of headaches.

    Also try to call the place as soon as you spot the problem (I know you said you were at school so probably couldn't right then). If you would have called that day and told them they may have been more responsive. It happened to me at a restaurant once. I took my lunch to work and found the salad was full of water (didn't dry the lettuce I guess) croutons were soggy and gross. I called and told them that I wasn't able to come to show them and I had just gotten it (was fortunate to be able to call) They took my name and said the next time I came to tell them and I was able to get a free salad and refund. Sorry to hear that this Arby's was crappy to you and hope it never happens to you again.

    I am so sick of people just complaining about service at fast food restaurants. I mean its ridiculous! Do you expect for them to be just perfect and happy 24/7. they are human beings too and im sure they- just like you and me- have bad days. Just suck it up, get over it. They are being paid to give you your food, not be freakin perfect. If you dont like it- go somewhere else. My daughter works in fast food and she has came home in tears saying that someone complained to her manager about her not saying " have a great day" Are you kidding me??!! what the hell should she care if you have a great day or not. Its stuck up lazy people like you who probably go through the drive thru every single time because you're so freaking lazy!! Next time GET OFF YOUR BUTT and go INSIDE, and maybe they wont get your order wrong!!!

      This is absurd response .  Getting sick or paying for food that you can't eat is unacceptable.  Unless a complaint  is made,  nothing would ever be done to correct this.  Then when there's no business everyone looses their jobs.  I worked as waitress and carhop all through my school days.  I needed that job!

    I went to Arbys on Wednesday(3-3-10)and I wanted to get a salad made without cheese. The lady said they were already premade.  They would not make me one without cheese.  So all you ladies out there that are watching their weight and their fat, you may want to go elsewhere.  McDonalds is a better place to go.  They will do it for you, if they are not to busy. So you may want to think twice before going to Arby's. If you come to Tyler, Texas you may not want to go there.
