Thorntons Customer service was very disrespectful by two of the employees doing my last visit. Need to be corrected immediately. Thank you.

Early morning of November 20 between 5 and 6 AM. I am counting two of Thorton’s’s employees a man and a woman. The man was described as a heavyset guy and the one was described as a African-American female was very rude and disrespectful towards me for no apparent reason, this type of behavior is unacceptable and should not be tolerated in any organization location 2000 block of Algonquin Parkway seventh St.

Claimed loss: Thorton’s’s employees very rude and disrespectful

Desired outcome: Need to be replaced immediately. Thank you.

Thorntons Rude employee

On 9/24/23 at 9:20pm last night my boyfriend went inside the Thorntons location located 250 e Roosevelt rd. to purchase cigarettes for my mom and gas for the car he explained to the employee that he didn't have his physical Id on him, but he had a picture of it in his phone and that's he's over 21 the employee then started getting aggressive out of nowhere saying that he didn't care. So, my boyfriend asked if I can just come into the store to Purchase the man told him "No because she's going to be buying it for you" in reality it was really for my mom so when I got inside the gas station to try to purchase he continued to be rude I had my ID on me I'm 22 years old I didn't see the problem on why he was still refusing I also had my mom on the phone, so she was hearing everything the man was saying to us we didn't want to cause any problems so I just asked for a refund on my gas and we left because at that point I didn't want to spend my money with them just because how the man treated us we been going to gas station for over 7 years and this the first time we ever had any type of problems when coming to this gas station. I don't know the man's name, but I know exactly how he look so I will be reporting him to his manager as well.

Thorntons Guest services

Aug.1 7am. Valley station store on Dixie and moorman. Get to the counter about to put the money on the counter when the girl at the register attacked me verbally with the manager at her side doing a cash drop. I'm in that store several times a day and know most by name and had no idea my putting my dollar bill on the counter disrespected this cashier. With a line of people behind me apologized and moved to a different teller. The cashier continued berating me as I left the store. This store is right up the street from my house. Unfortunately, the reputation Thornton's has concerning it's customer complaints I have little faith that tis complaint will go any further. As of today I get my lotto elsewhere and my gaselsewhere. Don't go to a business that doesn't care about their customers. There are too many others that do.

Thorntons Service

This is about 2 employees at the milford, ohio store. This incident happened at 8:25 pm on the 29th of June. I went to the store to get a hot dog drink and a bag of chips for my lunch break at work. I work right behind thortons gas and I'm there atleast once a day. I grabbed the only hot dog thar was on the roller grill. There were others that were in a container that had been pulled off the grill by the manager. I made my hot dog and set it down to go grab my bag of chips and when I returned to get my hot dog the manager proceeded to throw my hot dog along with the others that were in the container in the trash. The other employee asked her if she knew thar I was making that hot dog for myself and she said "ues I know that". Totally disregarded me standing next to her. When I said something to her all she had to say was "they're old they're garbage" and then walked away from Mei am beyond speechless about the customer service that store provides on 2nd shift. I'm also complaing about the other employees that just laughed and chuckled about it all.

Thorntons Bad service

I, typically don't like to provide negative feedback, however, this associate needs to be called out. I hardly go inside to pay for gas or buy an item, my toddler wanted a snack and decided to go inside. The wait time to pay was not too bad at the moment just one cashier. Then women associate just shouted next with an attitude grabbed the items and started scanning rudely I had to indicate I needed gas too, she was not personable, nice, and had zero customer service skills, this associate should not even be a cashier,

Desired outcome: I would like an apology

Thorntons Complaint

I was at your store in Ottawa Il today at 8 am. I was told to see the cashier inside, I had a new gift card. I went in to the counter a sign was up to use a different station two feet away, No one was there for about 45 seconds, I called out not yell, I said is there any here, a blond lady in the kitchen area was nasty and told me not to be rude, Isaid I was just asking for help, she never stopped raising her voice to me. Another woman walking from the East side of the store told me to shut and wait til she gets to the cashier area, and she said she just walked away and stop being rude, both used nasty tons with me and neither stoped [censored]ing at me. I raised my voice a little and told them both stop being [censored]y with me and I did not need this early in the am, I told them as I walked out that I would buy my gas elsewhere. Look at your cameras and you will see. I stop there every I drive to Chicago, NEVER AGAIN

She told me how horrible of a mother I am and did not stop cussing at me and my child until we checked out! I have cried all night about this because I was watching my son, especially since the floors were wet ant they were extremely slippery! I have been so excited about this new store and now I am terrified to go back!

Thorntons Rude employeees/store never open

The Thornton at 3300 block of bardstown rd on same side of road as Rallys there's a lady who works there Asian I think but she's the nastiest person I've ever met working in customer service anytime she works she locks the doors and closes the store for hours at a time she's always yelling or cursing at or about customers. She always has a attitude like the customers are a burden to her! I honestly don't know how they make any money when she's working the little amount of time they are unlocked she's got personal friends hanging out around the counter that she's to busy talking to and ignoring the customer. Never im my life have I met someone in customer service who hates customer service! One day she's gonna get smart with the wrong person and she is gonna get what she deserves!

Desired outcome: She needs to find a new job!!!

Thorntons Service

I asked the cashier for a pack of tobacco instead of being polite he asked very rude did I have a ID before he grabs anything.I proceeded to say yes of course why wouldn't I he rebuttal very quick with "you keep talking like that you won't get [censored]" I said don't disrespect me I haven't cussed at you he then stated he will not serve me. I politely asked for a manger to serve me and he said he had the only open register and I could talk to her tomorrow.i shop at this Thornton's all the time and never had a problem but tonight was unacceptable I then waited patiently for for the other employee to open her register after waiting for the other employee he approached his register to help me I politely said "I'm not dealing with you anymore I will wait on her" then I said "you can give me the store number for my complaint" he bluntly stated "you ain't getting [censored]" the argument continued and I ended up having to be served by the other cashier and was overall extremely dissapointed with the visit never want anyone to loose their job but if you work customer service I feel it's a certain way you should be allowed to speak to someone

Desired outcome: With the cashier using language like that I feel he should be fired because of the lack of care and just disrespect.

Thorntons Charging customers for a cup of water or refill.

I went into the Thornton gas station tonight and I was refilling my bottle of water. After I was done, the Thornton employee warns me their boss "enforce" a water fee policy that they will charge customers a water refill. I find this to be nonsense because I always get my water refill for free. I'll contact Thornton customer service on the weekday and fill a complaint.

Thorntons Bathrooms

The bathrooms at most Louisville thorntons is always “out of order “! I can’t count how many times I had to leave and not purchase the gas and products I needed too, due to having to pee so bad. This is all hours of day and night. And it’s unacceptable. I used to only shop at thorntons, now I choose speedway.

And wow.. as I go to submit this you tell me that my complaint is too short and won’t be addressed due to that? Are you serious. What kind of company are you all!?!?!?!?!?!)!)!?!? Is this long enough for you to take me seriously?

Straight ridiculous!?

Desired outcome: Allow customers to use your restrooms at all hours. People travel, and work and need them!

I have been a everyday user of the flex fuel stations over at this thortons on old fort parkwaysl in murfreesboro TN but for almost two months now the stations I suppose are not available anymore? They put bag over those specific stations and when i asked about it i didn't get an answer. Were they discontinued? This isn't so much of a complaint more of a miscommunication

Thorntons Always out of supplies..

I am a loyal, daily customer for many years now. I have been going every morning except for most Sundays, for years.. I have always enjoyed your coffee options and the additional stuff that I can use to spruce it up, I also enjoy the options for something to eat for breakfast. For about 5 or 6 months now there has been a consistent issue with your supply chain that is quite ridiculous for a corporation to expect to keep customers.. At this point it is daily that the store by me in Aurora Illinois off Farnsworth road, is out of something important to keeping people like me, your daily customer coming back. Why in the world would you ever be capable of being out of coffee lids? or cups? Lids or cups that are used for your soda machines? I realize there has been a lot of supply issues in the country but I typically have only seen them with (outside of your company) small, less volume places.. There must be at least 45 different companies out there making coffee cup lids.. Cant get what you usually use.. Get a temporary, local supplier or send your managers out to buy them from another source to be sure you have them... How is customer who is driving expected to take coffee to go and not have a lid? Or expected to use the flimsy lid for the Styrofoam soda cups with a straw hole as a coffee cup lid?
Also, lazy employees that work night shift into the morning shift who do not bother to make any breakfast stuff or make coffee that is ready and not from the automated machines.. There is one particular such guy who spends most of his time leaning up against the checkout counter or sitting behind the counter on a chair. I notice every time he works, Everything is filthy and nothing that everyone else knows to do and make, isn't!

I'm extremely patient in normal circumstances but this is getting pathetic.. You obviously have some major problem with your sources for supplies and its hurting your business big time.. Myself and at least 8 other customers walked out today purchasing nothing because of your coffee lid issue.. AGAIN.. If I cant get a lid with my coffee, why even buy it or buy anything else.. I just have to now stop elsewhere to get that coffee so I might as well get my other needs there too.. You get my point?
Your a big enough company to figure out a way to meet your customers needs.. Stop letting whom ever is screwing it up to continue to do that.. I know I am about to never step foot in one of your stores again. I can almost guarantee at this point that I am going to be disappointed in the fact that you will be out of something that I wanted to get and use to be able to get ANY time I went there.. Yes I know there is a supply chain issue across the country.. But big companies figure out a way around that by choosing either new, or temporary options.. Even if it temporarily raises your purchase costs to do so.. Supply your customers or lose them.. Which one costs you more in the long run?

You have two very good and very dedicated employees there at this store.. I know this because like I said.. Ive been a daily customer for years. They try hard to meet expectations.. Debbie I there all the time and she's always cleaning, stocking what she can and good with the customers. Other one is Glen.. That guy is always trying to get food out quick and if I tell them your Liquid creamer machine is out of one or another type of creamer, He jumps on it right away, no complaints and changes it out.. This happens often and I have watched him change those boxes out.. A pain in the butt! I like the pre pack apples with cheese cubes and almonds. He has always in the past made sure to restock them if not in the display cooler when I say they are out.. But again, You have been out of stock of those for weeks now. He apologizes every day.. I can only imagine how difficult your supply issue is to loyal employees that are trying very hard to do their job and now have to listen to customers blame them for your inability to supply your stores..

Desired outcome: Fix the fact that you dont meet your product supply demands.. Find temporary options..

Thorntons Men’s bathroom

I stopped by Thornton's to use the bathroom while I was working. I must mention that this was a desperate situation in that I was 30 seconds from making trouser chili. The men's bathroom had a blue light (to prevent people from shooting up) and there was a hypodermic needle depository box on the wall. The floor and toilet were wet and there was no TP. The dispenser had been torn off of the wall and the bathroom absolutely reeked! As it was an urgent moment for me I had to hover then use my pocket knife to cut a square from my t-shirt to wipe!

Desired outcome: Clean the men’s bathroom or shut it down!
