Today is a Monday and for once I'm pretty happy. No, I didn't win the lottery though I wish I did. That would make my Monday even more awesome. But alas, when it comes to winning things, I'm the most unluckiest person in the world. Even trying to win a packet of chips is way beyond me ... LOL!
For some of you, especially the long time readers of this blog know that I've had loads of issues with the Hartz Chicken all-you-can-eat restaurant. I used to love frequenting that place and being a chicken lover, what else could be more appealing and exciting than an all-you-can eat chicken diner, right?
Well, both wifey and and me had some pretty nasty encounters with the staff there at two of their outlets on more than 3 occasions, twice in Summit and the other in Sunway Pyramid. And both of those occasions left a bitter taste in my mouth. Enough was enough and suffice to say, we decided to give that place a permanent miss. Even sending a complaint email to their management bore no response with them not even having the courtesy to reply or acknowledge my email.
Well anyway, this weekend I was wondering around Summit with wifey and discovered that they had closed down. Both wifey and me hooted for joy at the empty site that was formerly Hartz Chicken restaurant ... LOL! That's what you get when you employ staff who just don't practice good customer service. As much as I enjoyed dining at that place, I'm glad that they've closed down.
It goes to show that when you employ people with no tack or commitment whatsoever you tend to drive away genuine customers from visiting your establishment and without the support of your customers, you're bound to suffer in the long run! As much as I'll miss that all-you-can-eat chicken joint, I'm bloody ecstatic that it has closed it's doors. Now to pray for the closure of the Sunway outlet too ... hahaha!
.
I tried the one in Sunway before. Not many choices and service was lousy!!
ReplyDeleteRose - See, I was right about the service, ya? It's really lousy and judging by your experience, they haven't improved yet.
ReplyDeletenever been to this outlet before and i guess i'll never be going to one... heheheheh...
ReplyDeleteNever been there. But I won't go to the place with bad customer service. XD
ReplyDeleteas much as i love to eat chicken... i never did like the Hartz fella. I used to frequent the one Sunway Piramid.. and the service is crummy.. we always prefer Nandos over Hartz.
ReplyDeleteIf you gonna run a food establishment.. customer service is most impt over food. Ppl come back to a friendly place ;)
Alting - Trust me, you're really not missing much. Their service is an absolute horror show!
ReplyDeleteMaslight - Lucky you :D Yeah, customer service is high on my list of priorities ...
ReplyDeleteAnny - Oh, you're a chicken too ... urmmm, I mean chicken fan ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteI actually love the Peri-Peri sauce at Nando's so much that I actually bought one and had it all for myself at home ... LOL!
Yes, I have to agree, customer service is a food place is a must to keep people coming back for more.
I hate all you can eats...so dangerous lah cos you always stuff yourself extra extra so that you get your money's worth, but, but, but next day fat complain pula! TSK TSK TSK. :p
ReplyDeleteaiyaa.. i m no chicken le... hahhahahahhaa
ReplyDeleteur such a pig.. u ate the whole chicken all by urself? hhahahaha.. Poor Mrs Spiff.. err.. but i got to admit.. i finish one whole Ayamas chicken before.. and i have it blame it on tv.. cos the tv was numbing me.. when i looked down.. the chicken is all finished.. :D
the best Nandos.. is the one in Subang Parade ;)
Rozella - LOL! I'm a sucker for all-you-can-eats la. Well, my policy is to get stuffed silly first and suffer the next day ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnny - No, no, not the chicken la AnnyBoo, but the peri-peri sauce ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteOh, I've on occasions eaten a KFC dinner plate, Zinger burger and large fries all at one go ... LOL!
Oh closed down edi, padan muka for giving lousy service! ;)
ReplyDeletePoor customer service can drive away customers.
ReplyDeleteWow! So evil! Pray for the other outlet to close as well! I think if customer service is poor, sooner or later will close down.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I haven't been to Chicken Hartz buffet for a long, long time!
Marzie - Yeah, padan their muka! One thing I can't stand is lousy service ...
ReplyDeleteMei Teng - It's true. The food may not be good but if the customer service is excellent, people will still go.
ReplyDeleteFoong - LOL! I can be mean when I want to. Don't waste your time eating there, you'll come away disappointed.
ReplyDeleteDude!! Remind me never to cross your path! LOL So now we are Hartz-less hehe!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
PS I'm BACK!!
Adrian - Yeah, you know how vengeful I can get at times ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back :D So, now you're one of those professionals with a fancy schmancy title la ... hehehe ...
ayoooooo...nick!!!! Why suddenly so evil one?? HAHAHA
ReplyDeleteBut..serve them right..hehehehhe
err i notice that this post is shorter than usual.
ReplyDelete:P

ReplyDeleteKadusmama - LOL! Sometimes have to be la, especially to people who gave me grieve!
ReplyDeleteCarol - Yeah, today I was too busy to write my usual putar belit punya post ... LOL!
ReplyDeletePerry - Hahaha ... you guys really are not used to me writing short posts ah?
ReplyDeleteWe always grumble about this Nick. Customer service is very poor even in some posh outfits. Depends I suppose. I stumbled onto Shell's retail training facility. It's a building on its own. Are people so kurang ajar these days that a whole building has to be dedicated to customer service?
ReplyDeleteHahaha Bukan the next day only oh suffer. Lama tu want to hilangkan the fats yang tergumpul at your waist!
ReplyDeleteNot reali a chicken fan but skali-skala can la. Eh, you notice or not ah, the fast food taste recently macam not sedap oredi.
ReplyDeleteI ordered a quarter pounder fm McD the other day and it tasted so bland, dah la mahal :( Next taim I better go eat Ramly burger!
I oso pantang bad customer service! Wat for pay for lousy service?! Grrrr
ReplyDeleteI pernah order white rice but the rice color was grey you know. Crazy or not!! Caj RM1.00 some more for expired rice... cisss!!
Hui Sen - LOL! It would seem so buddy. A lot of people these days just don't practise manners often enough.
ReplyDeleteRozella - LOL! That probably explains why I look like giggly puff half the time ...
ReplyDeleteNessa - Yeah, those quarter pounders look like the were mini burgers compared to those days ...
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a Ramly burger :D
Nessa - You have a point. I get thoroughly pissed off with rude and stupid people!
ReplyDeleteActually I've ordered plain water that had an ocean full of critters living in there and they charged me 40 sen for it! Ridiculous, I tell you ...
u are not alone my friend. I hardly have any luck in winning anything...:)
ReplyDeleteabsolutely loved your header :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! Im so glad justice was served and they have gone out of business! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
ReplyDeletehi nick, you've just been tagged in my special Friendship Chain Tag! Hv fun! :)
