1 /5 Isha Joshi: My visit started very pleasant when I walked in. I was shopping for backpacks for my kids. Associate named Gurneet welcomed us and also honored the Kohl’s cash coupon I had. She also recommended that upon signing up for Kohl’s rewards I can get more discounts. I then remembered I had an amazon return as well. She was quick to guide me to the counter because they also give you additional coupons. She was happy to hold my items as I went to Amazon counter. She also convinced me to sign up for the rewards. However, as soon as I returned to the counters my whole experience in the store changed. Gurneet was very polite to hand me my items as she was helping another customer. I then went to the associate named Pharleen. She did not greet us, and pretty much treated us like I have forcibly asked for her to donate her kidneys to me. This person rolled her eyes when I told her I have coupons I would like to use. Till this day I have never truly believed that there are people working who treat others like we owe them something (referring to those funny reels or clips we see for bad customer service). She didn’t offered bags, didn’t make eye contact and seemed just pissed off that she had to work tbh. This Kohl’s store is our go to store for the cleanliness and customer service we have experienced prior. The management should encourage more training to associates like Pharleen who just have an attitude. Also her name batch had Sacramento, CA written in parentheses, so maybe she’s a temp employee.
I left the store shocked to see such a major difference in customer service just a few feet away from each other, but Pharleen definitely ruined it for me for this store.
