I’ve always had excellent coffee from Black Cap, and the breakfast sandwiches are yummy. However this morning I did not have a positive customer service experience. To the point where I am now unsure if I want to continue being a patron for this business. I was running a little late this morning, so I decided to call and see if it would be possible to get a breakfast sandwich started while I was on my way (they usually take about 10 minutes or so). A young woman named Meredith answered the phone, and let me know she would have to put me on hold for a couple of minutes. This seemed reasonable, I’ve worked in the service industry for many years and understand the morning coffee rush. Instead of actually putting me on hold she simply set down the phone for over a couple minutes.

I asked if preparation had even been started and I was told no. I then said forget it we could not waste any more time waiting for a simple sandwich. We were not offered a return of our payment nor an apologize just a blank look by an employee who obvious had no passion for his work. We tried to contact black cap direct and left a message on their MSG board as I do not believe in airing dirty laundry in a public forum, but since management did not bother to reply here it is. Hoping they can resolve their employee issues before they destroy their business. I will...
