Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop - Rocklin, CA — Restaurant in Rocklin

A $15 boiled Hot Dog at the state fair is less of a rip off than this sandwich

Let me start by saying that my issue in not Mr. Pickles. I LOVE Mr. Pickles. But, I most certainly do not love THIS Mr. Pickles.

I went in today, at around 12:10 in the afternoon. As I wasa aprouching the counter the entalman making sanwiches called to one ot theyoung ladies working sying, "I need you here making sandwiches. my bast sanwichmaker need to be making saniches right now". Boy, did that make things that much more dissapointing when I got my order.

I ordered the Italian dry Salami on sourdough, with the works. Their "best sanwhich maker" threw together the sadest display of bread and lettuce Ive ever seen. Somewhere under all that filler was a few thin slices of salami that tasted like that spent the day out at a picnic in the sun.

To their credit, they were very busy at the time. But, that is no excuse to cut corners on quality. I had considered bringing it back for a refund but, again, they were busy and I didnt want to make her feel embarrassed in front of her customers and her peers especialy since I was feeling quite irritated by the situation. I'll just pick my saandwiches up elsewhere from now on.

Additionally, I a happy to provide several more photos to prove that this was not just a cleverly shot picture to make it look like it was any worse than it...

The reason for this review is for the way the burley manager/owner or shift lead, whatever he is, treated the 2 other workers in front of me while my sandwich was being prepared. The young brunette greeted me as I walked in and was going to help me but he came from the back and immediately started speaking down to her about how slow and poor of a job they were doing. This happened the entire time. Another patron came to get a sandwich for pick up and she didn’t grab or recognize the box fast enough for his liking and went back to berating her under his breath in front of me as he rang me up. Mind you he is an adult man and she is a young gal. Maybe late teens early 20’s. She was working hard and quite honestly probably scared of him. She just went along and kept doing her job. There is a time and a place to correct things and there is a tactful way and this guy did nothing of the sort. I don’t know what happened to him in his life to make him so bitter and feel powerful over a young employee at a sandwich shop but go to therapy and work it out. Im NEVER...

I love coming to this Mr. Pickles location specifically for Amanda & Shams!! have learned their schedule because I love the level of service they provide. They make my sandwiches incredibly fast, without missing a single ingredient, always giving me exactly what I ask for!! Amanda always has a smile on her face and creates customer experience by remembering what sandwich I get!! It makes me feel so special when I choose to get lunch at this location!

Sometimes the lunch meat tastes different, not sure if that is a quality issue with the ordering… but I wish there was more consistency with the taste.

I wish the dining area was more updated so I could enjoy eating my sandwich there. But it’s kind of dated & I hope they update it in the future.

Overall, thank you Amanda & Shams for being awesome...
