Horrible customer service by staff and store manager

Arbys - Horrible customer service by staff and store manager

I ordered a fish sandwich around 5:30 pm. No one was in the store but me.

I waited twenty minutes, still no fish sandwich. I went to the counter to inquire about my order. No one was at the counter. I waited to get the attention of customer service, who was now also helping another customer at the drive-through window.

I asked to speak to the manager (Adam). He came out with a bad, I-don't-care attitude. I asked him about my sandwich; he said it was already made. He stood there looking at me with an uncaring attitude and made no attempts to get it.

He was very non-responsive and slow. He sighed and looked bored. He didn't seem to care about being at work or about serving the customer. So, I asked for his name; he did not give it to me.

He had no name tag. Neither did the other two girls working the front and drive-through window. His attitude and lack of customer service made me decide to ask for a refund at 6:02:18 pm. I got his name before I left from the drive-through window girl and left thirty minutes later without any food.

I took a picture of the counter area to show there was no one at the counter or behind the food area, with only me in the store. I will not be returning to this store.

The location of the store is 7454 E 116th St, Fishers, IN 46038. Store number 47038.

Pros:
  • Roast beef sandwich
Cons:
  • Slow service
  • Problems with using app at store

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Avoid .. you will leave hungry and frustrated

Gee, I wonder if it has something to do with staffing. That place looks as empty as a tomb.

I imagine that he's looking bored because he's really is bored with a lame like you or tired. Here's the thing, No One Cares about your silly saga.

Take this to nextdoor and whine over there. Please do not re prod uce.

AI Highlights
  • - Visited Springdale Rd near Colerain Ave at 10:45am.
  • - No greeting; heard profanity from a drive-thru worker; no manager.
  • - Waited, felt unwelcome, and left.

I walked into the restaurant at Springdale Rd. just before Colerain Ave.

around 10:45 AM today, April 24th. Nobody greeted me; all I heard was, *** this, *** that,' coming from a middle-aged black woman by the drive-through. She was obviously complaining to another person in the restaurant about something. I couldn't see the other person; I'm assuming it was a manager.

Finally, the cook said to me, 'somebody will be with you in a minute?' I continued to wait and listen to the woman using profanity. I felt unwelcomed, and I felt embarrassed that this was going on in front of me! As a restaurant manager for over 30 years, this was way unacceptable in so many ways! I got tired of waiting and walked out.

This isn't the first time I've had problems in this store.

I am probably going to post on Facebook about my horrible experience. Very upset former customer!

DT329-DT. Employee Ivelisse. I ordered 1 Gyro Greek SD + Gyro Sauce. Total came to $12.50.

The service was fantastic and pleasant as it should be. The parking lot is atrocious. All the way from the road to the speaker to order were potholes that have been there for many years. This will be the last time I order from this store until the potholes are fixed.

Horrendous the way you present your store with all the other fast food places on this road. You should be ashamed of yourselves to offer food at such a store where we have to be very careful not to blow out a tire.

(Yes, it's that bad and corporate should make a surprise visit and see for themselves. Very disappointing, and I'm sure you will say the same if you show up at the store for an inspection.

Pros:
  • Foods good
Cons:
  • Driveway sucks

Arbys - Rude Service

Went to Arby's, got a number one roast beef and cheddar. The woman was very rude; she didn't want to give me any Arby's sauce or ketchup.

She got mad when I asked her for Arby's sauce. It was very rude, and I'll never go back. It tastes like I got it off the floor or something. I don't know, the meat taste was ruined.

I love eating there, but this time was horrible, and we will not eat there anymore because of that. I feel very sick.

If you want a full refund, you should have returned the food.

Went to the Arby's at 1001 Cedar Street in Niagara Falls, New York. Also got a rude lady there, who would not give me the senior citizen's discount to which I am entitled.

I find that to be discrimination and might report this to the AARP and BBB. She already inputted the order before I could tell her I am a senior citizen, cancelled the order as I requested, but would not enter it again at the senior citizen discount price. She either did not know how to do it which is an embarrassment to the store and Arby's corporation (older employee) or she was just arrogant, rude, and dumb to lose a customer. Plus, she took a while to get to the register in an empty restaurant during a key meal time and, seemed lazy and annoyed that now she actually had to work.

She had an attitude, should be dismissed from the company, and I simply walked out because of her arrogance and incompetence. I hope the ownership reads this and gets rid of her, not only for the benefit of other customers but to teach the employees how to treat the customers. Arby's pays a lot of money for advertising, promotion, and pricing to the customers to persuade them to choose Arby's over other restaurants. To have one of their own employees - who is paid to satisfy Arby's customers - deny the company their return on investment is a fireable offense imo.

No wonder the store was empty. Who wants to deal with a lazy, sloppy, incompetent, unprofessional employee like that?!

Rude, Dumb Employee At Arbys In Niagara Falls, New York Who Should Be Fired

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Arby's at 1001 Cedar St was empty; staff chatted.
  • - The order was entered with no greeting and the senior discount denied; I canceled.

Went to Arby's at 1001 Cedar Street in Niagara Falls, New York. The store was completely empty.

Three employees were chatting away as I waited. One finally comes up to the register slowly and does not even greet me or ask for my order. I tell her the order and she inputs it with no expression, as if now she has to do some work. I forgot to tell her I m a senior citizen and want the discount within seconds of placing the order.

She said she already put the order in and she won't do that. I then tell her to cancel the order. She seemed surprised that I immediately outsmarted her, although that was not my intention - I just wanted the food at the price to which I am entitled. She cancelled the order and then said she will not input the order again at the senior citizen price.

She was condescending, rude, and ridiculous because I simply walked out and went to another place for my meal. I hope the franchise owner or corporate office reads this and fires her (older light-skinned black lady with glasses). Now I know why the store was empty at a key meal time. I feel like I am doing other customers and the ownership a favor by posting this, because if it's happening to me it is probably happening to others who don't report it, just leave and don't come back.

In retrospect, I think she did not have the skill to cancel the order and input it again at the lower price which is an embarrassment to the corporation, or she is just that arrogant and foolish. Either way, it's a bad look for the company and she should be dismissed as a lesson to other employees not to pull the same stupid move. Arby's spends a lot of money advertising, promoting and pricing its products for customers to choose their restaurant over others for their meal. When customers come there, that is the company's return on investment.

When one of their own employees - who is paid by the corporation to take care of its customers to their satisfaction - denies a legitimate order, that employee should be dismissed, especially as a lesson to other employees. I might also file a complaint with the BBB and AARP to alert these organizations as to possible discrimination against a senior citizen.

I never want to see this lady's face again, or deal with her. The organization should get rid of her as soon as possible.

How is the employee dumb? You are the one who forgot to ask for a senior discount. So if anyone is dumb, it is YOU?

Arbys - Need help getting my Refund - Image 3

Hi! I need help. My daughter and I ordered from Arby's on December 26th, 2025, at 6:00 PM. My daughter is deaf. We ordered food, and the lady manager was very rude to my daughter, telling me that I should teach my daughter how to speak normally. I told her, 'Excuse me. My daughter is deaf.' She got our order wrong, so we left.

So on December 27th, 2025, at 7:30 PM, I ordered from Grubhub. Check AAEMEND39QAR. GH 561****. 2810 E Market St, York, PA 17402 (7**) **4-1459.

My daughter's food left Arby's at 7:41 PM. Our food never came until 8:25 PM. My daughter's boyfriend and I found our food was so cold when it was delivered, and the sandwich was wrapped all the way. The other sandwich had meat that didn't taste fresh or had cheddar on it. I'm very upset.

My total was $28.29, but when I checked my bank statement, it came to $37.59. I didn't get my apple turnover either.

I tried contacting Grubhub and Arby's, but they are refusing to give me my refund.

So, could I have my refund, please? I'm very upset. I used my debit card, and I will give you information on my bank card if you need it.

Please email me. I'm deaf. I have a receipt.

Thank you,

Laura Pinkerton

The fact that you ordered through Grubhub, yet called Arby's and are posting to them here, shows you did not bother reading GH's terms of service. If you did, you would know ONLY GH can issue refunds/arrange re-deliveries. I bet you create a lot of chaos and wasted time for yourself.

If you want a refund. RETURN THE FOOD.

Original review updated Apr 18, 2026

Refused service at 1175 North 21st Street, Newark, Ohio by a DM named Sage S.

I have a fundraising card that I purchased from a local HS. Arby's, located at the above address, is one of many on the card.

The DM said they were not honoring the offer to anyone because it was never authorized. Of course, I was disgruntled and let him know, but I agreed to pay full price for the meals. He refused to serve me. He didn't like how I spoke to him, he said.

I'm 65, my husband 81. I can assure you we were respectful, but, in fact, Sage is the one that was extremely rude and acted like a little punk. What will you do? Never, in our lives, have we had this kind of disrespectful and rude service.

Today is April 18, 2026, and this transpired around 2 PM EST. I want to hear from someone.

Any business has the right to refuse service. Refusing service is not being a punk and disrespectful. I doubt you were polite if he refused service.

Guest

“The DM would not honor it. He said it was never authorized”.

That’s all she wrote old lady. Period. End of discussion. That was your cue to go speak with whoever was in charge of the fundraiser.

“Of course I let him know I was disgruntled “. Why? He doesn’t need to hear your mouth. This is between you and the fundraiser.

“I can assure you… “. No, you can’t.

You got taken by the fundraiser and lashed out at the easiest person in the moment. Stay home away from people.

Issue with online order not crediting BOGO

The online app rejected my credit card, which worked both before and after. When I submitted a second card, it was accepted but wiped out my BOGO, which I failed to notice before submitting.

I ended up paying for both sandwiches. I have been unsuccessful in getting through to Arby's customer service. The response form always produces an error message, and three calls to their 888 # are never answered, nor do my voicemail messages receive a return call.

Long-time Arby's customer and online app user. I should say former customer.

Once the fries were cooked, they began taking other orders before mine and putting out their fries while I was still waiting.

  • - Hair on my double #2 meal and pink, undercooked burgers; the manager suggested discarding or microwaving; not recommended at Arby's Fluvanna Ave.

Myself, my boyfriend, and my granddaughter went to the Arby's in Jamestown, NY, on Fluvanna Ave, and I ordered a double #2 meal, and my granddaughter ordered a bacon cheeseburger. When I took the wrapper off my sandwich, there was so much hair I almost puked.

My granddaughter took two bites of her sandwich, and the hamburger was still pink. I went to the manager, who was *** and showed him my food, and he told me to throw it away. He made me a classic sandwich, which was not what I ordered. Then my granddaughter showed him her sandwich, and he said it was fully cooked, which it wasn't.

Then he said he could either have my granddaughter throw it away or he would put it back into the microwave. Nasty, I know. Then he gave her another sandwich, which was all pink, and I just threw it away. Then the manager continued to say that all we wanted was free food, which was not at all the case.

I would never recommend Arby's on Fluvanna Ave in Jamestown, NY. So we went to the 50s Place for good food.
