Rude and unprofessional employees

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Drove to Opry Mills; pretzels at Annie Ann's were undercooked.
  • - The manager refused a remake or refund.
  • - Mall security was called; we won't return.

On July 11, 2026, we decided to drive an hour and a half down to Opry Mills Mall. My wife went to Annie Ann's for a couple of pretzels.

My wife gave me one, but hers wasn't cooked right, so she went back. My wife wanted it remade or refunded.

The young female manager said absolutely no and proceeded to be rude to my wife, called mall security, and told her to never return. I will never visit that location again.

Loss:
$14
Pros:
  • Used to enjoy
Cons:
  • Rude self righteous kids

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Train your employees to be kind and respectful. Also keep clean

Nasty employee

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Staff refused ice in a cup and laughed at the customer.
  • - Customer alleges racism and says staff humiliated them and threatened HR.
Original review updated Jun 06, 2026

Your two employees in Aunt *** their names are *** and *** that works at the register today, Sunday, June 6, 2026, at the *** in ***. ***.

They have very bad customer service. I most often come there to buy pretzels, and I work at the food court as well. I asked them for just a cup of ice, and she replied in a very rude manner that they don't give ice in a cup or that I need to buy it. So, I went to ***, and they gave me two cups of ice.

I walked back to Aunt *** and informed them, and in front of the other guests, they just laughed out loud and humiliated me. I asked for their names, and they told me 'bye' in a very rude manner. I told them that I'm going to report them to Human Resources, and they told me that they have managers to call. I told them, 'No!

I'm going to call HR.' How very rude and racist you are!

I don't know how you employ staff like them. the personalities are a bad image for customers all over the world, they belong to work at dollar stores for bad behavior.

Preferred solution: Nothing but your employees for bad public costumer service. I don’t need you to pay or free for anything. Your employees have a very bad behavior in the public.

User's recommendation: I let all my friends in Florida what kind of employees you hired.

Auntie Annes - I have seen the manager of the auntie Annie’s mall stealing from the...

I have seen the manager of Auntie Anne's in the Winston Salem Hanes Mall steal from the register on multiple occasions. The first time being December 12th, 2025, and the second time being December 26th, 2025.

Every time after I see this, she announces to the staff that the register is short and begins cursing at them.

Please look into this issue. Her name tag says Torie, and again, she is the manager at the Winston Salem Hanes Mall.

Preferred solution: I’d like to speak to someone that can look into this issue

Poor service and poor food preparation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Stopped at the reat area on the PA turnpike my granddaughter wanted a pretzel and slushy she loves them. The pretzels where skinny and burnt and the slushy wasn't mixed with the flavor on the bottom the girl said just stir it with the straw that didn't work and I ate the pretzel it was almost uneatable.

All of that for $20. Poor food poor service.

Bad food service

AI Highlights
  • - The mini pretzel dogs tasted burnt and greasy.
  • - Service felt rushed and staff did not allow time to review the menu.

Hello, earlier today I stopped by one of your stands in the Premium Outlets and was devastated by the lack of food quality and customer service. I ordered the mini pretzel dogs and I was so excited to try them.

Looking at them, they looked amazing and yummy, but that's not what they tasted like.

It felt like eating a burnt, greasy pretzel dog. I was really disappointed and disgusted, and not to mention the lack of customer service; we felt rushed and didn't get to properly look over the menu options.

AI Highlights
  • - Said new pretzels would come out in 7 minutes, but I couldn't wait.

Break more important than sale

Went to get a pretzel at a mostly empty McKinley Mall in Blasdell, NY. Staff were on a break and returned while I was standing there and said she was on break.

Give me a break. A sale is a sale.

Horrible customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Upstairs: Danielle E was short with us and insisted on the app.
  • - Downstairs: Dawson was friendly and offered an extra cup; we had a good experience.

Hello,

We frequent at auntie Anne's often at the Rockingham mall in Salem, NH locations. Today we first went to the upstairs location and dealt with a Danielle E.

She was horrible. Short to me and my 3 year old daughter!!! I literally walked up saying "I know you just opened and pretzels aren't ready yet could we just get a lemonade and we'll come back?" She rolled her eyes, snapped questions at me. Said a few harsh times if I had an account and I have to have an app, and she can't do anything without the app.

Than as she was handing me the receipt I asked "thank you, how long till the pretzels are ready?" She glarred at me and said "I said 10 minutes, that's why I said 10 minutes"

It was horrible. Honestly we didn't go back and went to the downstairs location in that same mall and had a wonderful chat with Dawson who was so kind and even offered an extra cup so my daughter and I could share!

I even tipped him!

Please tell that horrible Danielle that my 3 year old behaves better than she does. I can't imagine ever going back to that location if I see her working again.

User's recommendation: Don't order from Danielle E!

User's recommendation: Don’t get pretzel nuggets they are expensive and done tasted burnt
