UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY

Posted Mon March 5, 2007 9:44 pm, by YOLANDA B. written to Red Lobster

Write a Letter to this Company  |  Rate this Company


I took my daughter and three friends to Red Lobster for her birthday. After waiting 45 minutes to be seated it took 10 minutes for the waitress to come to the table. After waiting another 25 minutes for our food, the waitress brought 2 orders that were wrong. I took an additional 15 minutes to get replacement orders and even after that, one of them were still wrong. By that time we were disgusted and did not want the food. We just wanted to go home.

I would like for Red Lobster to send me a refund for my over 70.00 that I spent on the five of us or at least send vouchers to be used at a later date.

The other posters are completely right about what you should have done
to receive a discount on your meal. Besides, if only two people got
the wrong orders, the other three people shouldn't get free meals.

And waiting 25 minutes for your food isn't bad. It sounds as if you
were there during a lunch or dinner rush. Of course we can't know
that for sure, because many pertinent details are lacking.

What was "wrong" with the orders? If someone received a completely
different dish, I can sympathize. If someone received a baked potato
when they wanted french fries, well, that's not such a bad error.

I think Yolanda is fishing for freebies.

The time to address quality and service issues is while you're at the
restaurant and before you pay the bill. Your e-mail doesn't indicate
which location you visited, the date and time, etc.

What did the manager say when you brought this situation to his or her
attention?

I'm sure you would like a full refund but you haven't handled this
situation in a manner that warrants it.

You don't mention what day, time, OR location this was, and I find it
difficult to believe you timed everything.

Why, if everything was so badly handled, did you not request a
refund/comp at the time of service?

what i find frustrating is your USE of certain words TO enunciate
yourself. being a server myself, i certainly hope i never ever ever
have to deal with you as my guest. i highly doubt you have ever had
to work in the service industry before. i took a baked potato out
that had bacon bits on it (and it shouldn't have) by accident tonight,
and my guest brought the error to my attention. instead of demanding
that i pay for her meal, or calling me stupid or inadequate, she
simply asked me to replace it. when i have 15 meals on the go for my
guests, and someone else is dressing my food for me, mistakes happen.
