I love Chompie's a lot. I've been all over the valley and have gotten pretty good service at the Paradise Valley and University locations. This one just dropped the ball.
I decided to grab a few quick things from the bakery, wasn't even going to sit to eat. I wasn't even greeted by the 2 people standing at the door. I don't usually care about that but it was just another thing atop everything else. After I get inside, I see multiple people waiting around for someone to come to the bakery to be helped, someone finally does and the employee walks away. Its my turn now and are ready to order.
I stood around for a good five minutes until I started looking for someone to help. As soon as I found the hostess, she started walking away. Listen, I understand that there are plenty of responsibilites of each employee but I didn't even get a look from her. After walking back towards the register, I see an employee writing something down, I think it may have been the manager or something because they didn't look like a waitress. I kind of look at them and they look right back at me and look back down to continue writing something down. No "can I help you?" or "can I get someone for you?". I eventually just lost all hope at that point and left.
Like I said, I love Chompie's. Their jewish sliders and assorted bakery items are off the charts, but this location just fell flat. Me and my friends won't ever step foot in there again. If you have the choice, go to the one on University. Much better service.
