Jimmy John's — Restaurant in West Chester Township

Upon entering the fast food venue, I anticipated a modest level of service understanding that it would not parallel the experience of fine dining. Regrettably, the service fell short, meriting a mere 1.7 experience. My visit to Jimmy John’s was to return a sandwich procured on my behalf by my supervisor only half an hour prior. Upon arrival, I exchanged a brief glance with the cashier but proceeded to the beverage station under the assumption that it was the starting point for service inquiries, akin to the protocol observed at a comparable restaurant. It soon became apparent that the cashier was indeed the appropriate point of contact. However, his response to my approach—a discernible sigh—conveyed a sense of inconvenience. I endeavored to explain the situation: it was my first visit to Jimmy John’s, and despite specific instructions for no mayonnaise, the sandwich was prepared with mayonnaise disregarding my request. The cashier contested the veracity of my claim, citing the menu’s standard addition of mayonnaise comes automatically on this particular sandwich. In response, I presented the textual exchange on my mobile device confirming the ‘no mayo’ directive, which was acknowledged by my supervisor. The cashier’s reaction, was an eye roll and another pronounced sigh, and were reluctance to accommodate my request to have my sandwich remade, followed by a statement indicating saying that this would be the last time that this couldn’t happen again. The ambiance was unwelcoming, and I was left with an unsettling feeling of alienation, questioning whether it was attributable to an off day for the staff or a prejudiced reaction to my appearance. Regardless, the experience was disheartening, and I felt distinctly out of place and undesired within the premises. Worst...

Management and customer service quality has gone downhill dramatically at this location. I’ve gone here for lunch quite a bit because it’s good food and it’s supposed to be convenient. Every other time I go the drive through is closed with no explanation except for us to come in and order. There’s definitely enough employees to run the drive-through, too. And the drive through works, it’s only open on some days for some reason. A lot of business comes from drive-through so I’m not sure who’s making the decision to have it down some days… not a good business decision for a lunch place. On top of that, the employees are not friendly whatsoever and some barely acknowledge you. The other day I picked up lunch and I was missing the side of sauce I payed for. Didn’t seem like a big deal, though when I wen to ask for if from the two guys working behind the counter I received no response as they both had earbuds in. They made it seem like I was the inconvenience. They’re not usually busy and I wouldn’t be surprised if they went out of business if they don’t improve. Really reconsidering going back there...

Gary is my absolute hero.

I had a terrible day today and I decided to treat myself to my favorite sandwich at Jimmy John’s to help turn this day around. In an unfortunate turn of events, I dropped half of my sandwich in my car. I had to pull over so I could let out a good cry before I could tackle the rush hour traffic ahead of me.

I figured that it wouldn’t hurt if I called to see what I could do about obtaining the lost half sandwich. My day was already sad, so if they said no, then it simply would be what it would be.

I called and explained the situation and they told me to come back through.

Expecting my lost half sandwich, Gary hands me a full sandwich and wished me a good day.

Jimmy Johns has gained a loyal customer for life. Gary, I don’t think you understand how much this brightened my...
