Took wallet home???
I called the Hopewell, VA store today. I asked if they found a wallet. The manager, Frank, said he didn't think so but would ask the other employee. I heard the other guy said "actually, yeah." I was put on hold until the manager came back and said "no, we didn't find a wallet." I told him I heard the other guy say they did. He said he didn't know why I'd think I heard that, but they didn't find one and hung up on me. I thought maybe they didnt find a "lady" wallet, and they meant they didnt have one of those. I went down to the store to inquire about the wallet. He said they don't have one. I asked if they had a "lost and found" he could check. They don't have a "lost and found". I spoke of the phone call, and Frank told me they think an employee took it home. That employee would be back on Tuesday. They would ask him on Tuesday, and they would let me know then. He wishes they had put it in the safe, but they didn't. I think Frank got flustered and didn't know how to handle the situation. I was also confused. I heard them clear as day say there was one found, but Frank told me nobody said that and he hung up on me instead of explaining. He could have said, "we thought there was one found, but there wasn't one in the safe. If we do find it, we'll give you a call back. Would you like to leave a phone number?" Why are employees taking "found" items home? Especially wallets? Why DON'T they have a "lost and found"? Whether or not this man took the wallet home, this store needs to take a course in how to resolve issues, what to do with lost and found items, to make a lost and found location, and HOW to handle important found items. Very disappointed in Napa and their managing abilities today.
