♥ Sunday, August 23, 2009 ♥

Is it a trend nowadays to practise "Service with a Smile" in most stores..?
Be it retail fashion outlets or even restaurants....??
I see many servers wearing this "Service with a Smile" tag at work.
Amusingly...
Not many of them actually service with a SMILE.....
*roll eyes*

In addition to the above observation, I thought that we've got something called GEMS (Go the Extra Mile for Service) in here as well...?
Pardon me if campaign is past-tense, which i totally doubt so since we're still working very hard here to raise our existing service levels. Do also pardon me if the below mentioned dining place is not part of this campaign.

Let me start off with this not-too-long complain entry with this liner:

Why do I even need to bother about the smile when there's NO SERVICE to begin with in the first place...?!

I guess it's our bad luck today..
Or is it MY bad luck....
We stepped into Marina Square's PizzaHut after walking around Suntec City and Marina Square for quite some time, deciding on what to have for dinner..
We finally settled down at PH after recalling its pasta advertisement that was shown on tv couple of days ago and yes~ it's been some time since i last stepped into PH.
The place was packed with people but there wasn't a queue even though it was dinner time.
*Thank God*

We got ourselves a 2 seater table with the help of a server in all smiles.
We settled down quickly and started looking through the pages as we're both hungry and tired...
After less than 5 minutes of discussion and seeing 2 servers passed by us with the look that he/she's ready to take our order....
We caught the attention of a male staff and placed our order.
Specifically stated that we wanted 2 glasses of iced water before he left.

Our drinks came shortly, but no sign of iced water.
At least 5 minutes passed by, and our honey baked wings came.
Still.. No sign of our iced water!
We called out to the same person who took our order to serve us our iced water..
He replied "Ok!" and hurried off to serve some other people who's in the queue outside.
We had our eyes fixed on him all these time though..
Somehow he totally IGNORED us and i believe that he had also forgot our reminder for our iced water.

We're kinda mad at his irresponsible action.
Called another guy *assuming that he's the manager; he's in a different coloured uniform* to get us our iced water..
The same reply was given to us.
Vic's pasta came..
And..............
FINALLY the iced water came shortly after that.
DAMNZ!
I didn't know that actually iced water needs to take so long to serve!!!!!
Longer than the time needed to prepare the wings and pasta~!

And guess what?!
The minestrone soup took the same time to serve as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The guy who took us even had the cheek to serve us....
Both of us felt that he had totally forgotten about the soup!
I could sense that he's sorry but.....
HELLO~~~
The delay in serving the iced water is enough to piss us off..

I seriously don't fucking care the "Service with a Smile" campaign which you guys launch..
Campaign: Free personal pan pizza given at the next visit if to the customer who complains of any staff who didn't practise this campaign, i.e. He/she didn't service with a smile.
*that's if the above complaint is justifiable; subjected to terms & conditions*

Think!
If service didn't exist in the first place...
Who cares about that smile...?

Don't give the excuse that you guys are short-handed or even busy because it's dinner-time.
I see people walking around empty handed too!
I don't believe that people can't multi-task.
(especially people in this industry)
Examples:
- Bring us the iced water with our drinks / wings - like how i saw some fella did to another table, or
- Bring us tbe iced water when bringing bill to another table, or
- Bring us the iced water together with other table's order, etc.

The very very least they could do is to APOLOGIZE when there's a delay in serving something.
Or even to come up with an excuse for the delay.
White lie at this kind of time wouldn't harm~
Eventually it's gonna be a win-win situation for both parties - i would be glad that i've got what i want and you get to see more smiles from customers too.

Time to re-work on your service standards.
Maybe some service training may help..?
Or to work harder on quality control when recruiting staff...?
Isn't worthy to lose customers because of bad service you know~

The overall dining experience today wasn't really quite enjoyable.
Totally disappointed with the service received today though the company was great and the food served was still rather enjoyable..

I guess the existing "Service with a Smile" campaign should be changed to "Service AND Do it with a Smile" instead.
Just my two cents worth~
=)
