To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with a recent experience at Charley’s Cheesesteaks & Wings located inside Walmart. My visit on [insert date] was extremely disappointing due to poor service and a lack of professionalism from your kitchen staff, and I feel compelled to bring this to your attention.
I initially went to the location based on information from my son, which turned out to be incorrect. However, since I was already there, I decided to make the best of the situation and ordered two cheesesteak subs. The cashier was courteous, but unfortunately, the issues began with the preparation of my order.
Despite clearly communicating my preferences—including a request for extra onions (specifically double extra), and a substitution of Cooper Sharp cheese (which was not available) with both American and provolone cheeses—my instructions were not followed. The cashier failed to relay my specifications to the cooks, and the sandwiches I received were both visually unappealing and lacked flavor entirely. They looked nothing like the promotional images and tasted bland.
Moreover, I was shocked by the unprofessional and disrespectful behavior from the cooks. I could see the preparation area clearly, and despite my request for extra onions, I observed only a few pieces being added. When I politely asked the cashier whether the sandwich was mine and pointed out the lack of onions, I was told it was. I then addressed the cook directly to ask for more onions. Instead of responding professionally, he laughed at my request. I asked what was funny, yet he and his colleague continued laughing while the cashier remained silent.
I had to raise my voice to be taken seriously, at which point the cashier said something (presumably in Arabic), and the cook finally added a few more onion pieces—but still nowhere near what I had paid for and requested.
While I remained composed and did not escalate the situation further, this experience was highly unacceptable. I left the establishment feeling disrespected and dismissed as a paying customer.
I do not intend to return to this location. I urge management to take this feedback seriously and retrain your staff—particularly the cooks—on the importance of customer service, proper food preparation, and fulfilling orders accurately as printed on receipts. No customer should be treated with such disregard.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I hope this issue is addressed promptly and appropriately.
Sincerely,
Shawn M
