| - Honestly, I'd give them zero stars after today's lunch but that's not an option. Hubby and I realized that we needed to eat lunch before hitting Sam's Club. Especially Hubby, he's the King of Impulse Shopping and, at Sam's, that would mean junk in bulk!
We had two combo meal sandwiches, total cost of $19.42 (just think how many cases of licorice he could have bought for that!)
First, his... he got the chicken salad with the broccoli-bacon salad on the side. His description: "I've had better chicken salad from the gas station, two days old and wrapped in cellophane." I declined his offer to have a taste. The broccoli-bacon salad was almost good, but not quite there. It was dry, and needed "something". Hubby ate about 1/4 of his sandwich and one taste of the salad, tossed the rest.
Now for mine, the smoked turkey breast. I had wanted to try the pasta salad but they didn't have any, so I got the potato salad. The potato salad was boring, just an average mayo covered potato salad (tossed after tasting). The turkey sandwich was the main crime. The sandwich was smoked turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato & mayo on a bun.. along with what they called hickory honey mustard. I could only taste one thing, honey. MASSIVE amounts of honey, it was like an entire bear was dumped on there. Hubby tasted it, he gagged also.
On a plus note, the cans of Coke were fine.
The clerk had asked for our phone number when I was ordering... my phone number?!? I asked why, the owner/manager guy said that it would use our phone number to access a database and pull our email address so they could send us coupons! I declined, horrified at this massive intrusion and misuse of data. When did it become acceptable to invade privacy like that? Never, when it regards MY life!
8/15/14 Update: Added a star for the owner's great customer service attempts.. she did everything and then some to try to make up for this. I refused her offers, because I thought the sandwich was THAT vile, but her stellar attempts are worth a star upgrade.
If she had offered to let me take all their containers of "hickory honey mustard" to a shooting range and promise to never allow that vile concoction back into the store, then I might have agreed to give them a 2nd chance. ;-)
