Reviews
Today, I was just driving by the store when one of the delivery drivers cut me off and then proceeded to flip me off. (Perhaps one should drive more carefully and be more courteous when one is in a marked SUV?)
I called the store and a nice young man answered the phone. I asked to speak to the store manager as a complaint against an employee should be addressed at a managerial level. I heard the young man say “He would like to talk to you.” I could hear a somewhat muffled dismissal as a response. The young gentleman asked me what this was regarding and I told him about the incident and he said that he would pass along the information to the manager. I reiterated that I wanted to speak to the manager to which he offered a sheepish “She is busy right now.”
I thought the role of a manager was to handle personnel, operations, and customer expectations. Perhaps there is some new thinking in managerial studies – “We don’t need good customer service as long as we are meeting revenue and store goals?”
Since it was clear that I was not going to get an apology and assurances that another member of the public was not going to be subjected to hazardous driving and inappropriate gestures, I decided to call the corporate customer service line.
It appears that the customer-last philosophy is being set at the top. The customer service line goes directly to voicemail as a perky voice prompts the user to leave a message with a contact number and “We will get back to you.” It is clear that no apology will be offered.
I can only offer advice to the the young man that answered the phone. Jimmy John’s is too good for you. Your manager should not have put you in the position to handle a customer complaint and DO HER JOB FOR HER. Clearly, there is a corporate culture of treating both employees and customers poorly. Young man, I do hope you find another job that respects you and appreciates your skills.
Big surprise, after being directed to a feedback form where I was allowed to air my complaints, and being told I would hear back from the company in 24 hours, I have heard nothing.
It’s really sad to see a company I have adored the last 15 years go to complete garbage. This franchise owner should just close his doors and save the other stores some grief by not being associated with it.

First time ordering since the first review. Unfortunately, this place still cannot get their stuff together.
Once again- no knock! WTH is keeping them from knocking on my door? I requested they leave it at my door. You would think a knock would be standard so my food doesn’t die on my doorstep.
They also forgot the bacon on my sandwich. Happens a lot at this location. Glad I was able to donate another $4 to this location. Throw on the 30% tip and I basically just threw away $10.
Gonna stick to Jersey Mikes from here on out. You should too!

Always something with this location. Thankfully it was correct this time. Took over an hour and the driver couldn’t even knock or ring the doorbell. Such a disappointing location. I’m done.
Edit: couldn’t even eat it because the bread was so soggy. Not to mention the ice had clearly melted and soda was flat. I’m guessing this was prepared and sitting in someone’s car for an hour. Awful.
