      I placed a mobile order on 4/19/25 for Dunkin Donuts. It was a multi drink coffee order placed at 6:40pm. I had not realized the store closed at 7pm since I am not from the area. My brothers and I arrived to the store and decided to wait inside. Upon entering the store, the employee looked up and I stated we were the ones that placed the multi drink order but there was no rush we just happened to arrive sooner than we thought. The employee then informs me that 90% of our drinks were coffees and they had run out of coffee for the day. He also informed me that they closed in 20 min at 7pm. I then apologized for not realizing they closed so early and that we can just cancel the order since they didnt have any coffee. The employee then informs me since it was a mobile order he cannot proceed with the refund and I would have to go through the app. I tried in store but could not figure it out the employee looked stressed and said he was unable to do it with their system he provided me the tag of the order. I then placed an online claim for the situation asking for a refund. I recieved a prompt response from someone named ****. They informed me that the only way to process the refund is in store and not through the app. Due to me living hours away this was out of the question. He then asked if I would accept a gift card to which I replied yes. It has now been 3 weeks since the order was placed and 2 weeks since I accepted the giftcard. I have sent 4 follow up emails including a follow up claim. I have heard nothing. At this point, Dunkin Donuts has robbed me.

      Dear Dunkin Donuts Customer Service: At the ******************************************, on April 19, 2025 at I 04:55 AM the transaction was not as I expected. When I first walked into the Dunkin Donuts restaurant the line went two directions. There wasn't a sense of order. I walked out, reviewed the app, and I discovered also that I wasn't able to order through the app nor select combination specials available at other Dunkin Donut locations. When I entered again, I was only offered a medium size cup for the cold coffee. I requested no ice in my coffee. The employee said that she would only fill the medium size cup half-way. I did not agree. I requested from top to bottom the cup to be filled with the cold coffee. I felt that was appropriate. The employee became *****. I hadn't paid for my English Muffin, Sausage, and Cheese with the medium size cold coffee. Another employee began to take the order for the next customer. I informed the employee that I had not finished my transaction. The other employee continued with the other customer. The employee that received my order did not inform me that the transaction was finished nor provided the receipt. I requested the receipt. This was not the experience that I have had at other area Dunkin Donuts. It was dysfunctional. I was unable to understand them. I felt I had to repeatedly say, "So if I understood you correctly...What I think you I heard you say....This is what I would like..." I spent most of the transaction correcting rather than a simple transaction. For example, I felt it should have gone as here is my order, pay, and enjoy my breakfast. It should have been that simple. It wasn't. I would like my meal refunded. I paid $10.33. Receipt Information: Date 04/19/2025 Transaction: A000041317450527906658 Location: Dunkin Donuts in the ****************************************** Employee: BMG ****** **** another employee Terminal ID: 4143 Thank you for your review. **** ********

      The Dunkin staff at ********************************************************* needs to be completely fired and people with basic manners and politeness need to be hired. There are dozens and dozens of 1 star reviews of this location indicating I am not alone in the manner. Not only have I've been treated rudely, my own significant other has been treated rudely and her friends have been as well when they went there. How come when I go into ********* I receive nothing but kindness, and a total opposite at Dunkin? Corporate should investigate this because clearly they are not hiring people that reflect Dunkin's values.

      I have a Dunkin' Donuts card with a $12 balance. It was a gift card for Christmas from my granddaughter. It's suddenly stopped working. People at the store can't make it work. They said maybe I backed it up to a credit card or something else with a magnetic strip. Ridiculous. I want my $12 and change. This is my card and this is my balance and I want my card working immediately. On the daily customer and this is inappropriate. No one will help me I have called phone number after phone number after phone number going nowhere and I cannot believe that Dunkin' Donuts behaves this way. As a senior and a very good customer I'm appalled. Please help me get my $12 and change back

       The woman who contacted me ***** is the same person my coworker had trouble with. I work for a gas company. The Dunkin' Donuts happens to be across the parking lot from us. I just found out my coworker had trouble with her card and ***** didn't do anything for her and neither did the toll free number. I do not wish to talk to this person by the name of *****. Furthermore I called the toll free number and got nowhere. They argued and argued and argued with me when I in fact and do have $12.39 left on my card. And a perfect world they were just mail me a new card with that value but they argue with me that it's not on there. And it is because that was my balance and I did not touch it. Better Business Bureau can you get in touch with someone else with Dunkin' donuts please and have them contact me. Thank you

      Several of my coworkers have Better Business Bureau complaints against Dunkin' Donuts because we work next door. It's always the same response they email and they want a response and then you respond and they don't respond back with the solution. This is been going on for years and it's something for the Attorney General to look at. Nobody contacted me on April 17th 2025. I did receive an email telling me somebody would be calling me shortly and nobody contacted me. It's the same old story. Again please help me get my $13 credited back to my gift card. Thank you

      I ordered and this place did not have any of the items I ordered. I was told I have to get my refund from the app since I ordered through the dunkin app. I contacted through the app and was provided with a case number then told they would give my info to the store. I never got an answer or refund and now I'm being ignored.

      I went to the store today with my kid on April 9. Terrible customer experience and the man (owner?) behind the counter was so rude! I wanted to redeem a free scoop birthday reward for my kid that I received from the app, and the man said I couldnt use the reward. The reward has an expiration date of April 15 and today is April 9, so I asked why he didnt allow me to use it. I had the free scoop reward showing directly in my app. I tried to explain this to him but he insisted that it wont work. He just kept saying that he couldnt let me use the offer. And when I tried to speak with him, his exact words were "I DONT WANT TO TALK TO YOU!" And he walked away pretending to do something else behind the counter and left me alone

      On the morning of April 10, 2025 I went to this Dunkin around 6:35am and I ordered a brown sugar iced coffee with cream and sugar. I received my drink and pulled off. While I was driving to work I took 1 sip of the drink and it tasted like a nut flavor which I am allergic to. I called the Dunkin and said hi I just left there I ordered a brown sugar iced coffee and the employee who picked up said you have the wrong Dunkin I then called the other Dunkin that is on the same street and they said they were not the Dunkin I was at. I called the first Dunkin back and asked if they were the Dunkin next to *********** and the employee said yes. I said so this is the dunkin I just left, I ordered a brown sugar iced coffee but this drink had hazelnut which I am allergic to. The employee replied what does it say on the ticket I said there is no ticket on the cup. She said do you have the receipt I said not physically I used tap to pay. She said since there isnt a ticket or receipt there is nothing she can do. I said I have the receipt on my phone. She said this one time she can remake me the drink if I come back, I said its not about remaking the drink its about it being made with something im allergic to. She asked me what the lady at the window looked like and just asked me a few more questions about what I ordered and was rude and combative saying theres nothing she can do about it. She then said all the drinks are non allergens and that Ill be fine and wont have an allergic reaction. When I went back to the store when I got off work to show them the cup did not have a ticket and was hazelnut the lady kept being very combative and telling me its a non allergen, which how are people supposed to know that if they are just given the wrong drink. The employees said Im not the first ****** this happened to and wont be the last and theres nothing they can do. They offered to remake the drink again but I did not want another drink I want them to understand.

      Good Morning, I'm a First Responder for the city of ******** and around 0809 hrs. I went to Dunkin Donuts at ********************************************* I ordered and paid for my food with the manager (Caucasian woman)who was on the register. She was very rude, by the way; no salutations, eye contact, nothing! Two older Caucasian men ordered after me, who she was very welcoming to; salutations through the roof. They got there coffee and food then left. All the while, I'm still waiting and then she realized my order wasn't even in the oven, with no apologies, she made my food and practically threw it at me. The phone number they have on file, no one answers.

      On the morning of March 25, 2025, I had a slip and fall inside the Dunkin on the way to the bathroom. There was water on the ground and no wet floor sign. Following my fall, I was informed that I would be receiving an incident report. I have had to recieve medical treatment for this fall and continue to do so. However, I have yet to recieve an incident report or any acknowledgement from Dunkin stating that this incident happened. I have reached out multiple times in an attempt to get my incident report but have been unsuccessful for weeks. The Manager, Cassandre provided me her information and that of her boss, **** and claimed they would be in contact with the incident report.
