Manager Upset at his own mistake
At approximately 6:30 pm, on my to Hardees Drive Thru, I ordered a number 5 meal, and a med coke. I asked for a military discount. The DT cashier, asked the manager to complete the order. The manger completed the order and apparently got upset because he mistakenly gave me a wrong discount. He told me it was $10 even, which is what I thought I paid. His next words to me was "this will never happen again" in a matter of fact tone. He did not explain what I was charged or paid. He accused me of raising my voice, which i did not. I did ask a question to seek clarity because I was confused. At this point I was more confused by tone he was using regarding an apparent mistake that he made. I responded "sir I am not raising my voice" I am just trying to ask a question. He responds with "you want to pay more". At this point I still don't know what I paid, just that I received a bigger discount than I should have. Again just seeking clarity he was upset that I was asking a question. I left the drive thru confused about what just occurred. I returned about 5 minutes later to get my receipt so I know what I paid for the meal. After asking for the receipt, I told him that I never raised my voice and he insisted that I did and said he already called his owner. Again I said Sir I did not raise my voice and I was was just trying to understand what I paid. He gave me the receipt and was showing me what I paid. I acknowledged that I received a discount that was larger than I should have, but said I never raised my voice in the drive thru. He insisted that I did and that he was not putting up with that. At that point, I did become upset, if i was mature enough to come back in that in a calm manner to get a receipt, he could at the minimum said something to the effect of sorry if I took your tone the wrong way, no, it was just an insistent that I raised my voice to him. At that point I did raise my voice and cussed at him because I became very upset. It is very apparent to me now that this manager, Vernon, was mad at his own mistake and took it out on me. I would like someone to review the drive thru recording and show me when I raised my voice. I also want you to view his tone regarding "this never happening again". Please view the recording of both these incidents. I would like someone to contact me about what my perceived behavior (voice raising) during that encounter. Also review the customer service of a manager who made a mistake and the way he verbalized that to the customer. I will apologize for my last reaction, that in my opinion was provoked by a very unprofessional manager. Store Number 150953 Richmond 2 Order 317555 Cashier Vernon
