We have purchased fruit from Allred's for years and had no problem, except for the employees. The fruit and juices are really good, but the big problem for us is that the employees seem totally indifferent and like we're bothering them to even ask a question. This has been a frustration for years now. Sometimes you do get a "nice" person helping you, but that is purely the "luck of the draw." For instance, today I called and asked if they had anymore of a certain kind of apple. The employee said "no" they didn't. I said, "Really?" and she said with a very indifferent voice/attitude sounding like she wanted only to get off the phone, "Yeah, we're all sold out." So I asked if they knew any other orchard group that had them, because really nice businesses will help each other and often know or hear of what another competitor has and share the information. The employee, who had a rather indifferent attitude and sounded like I was bothering her by asking my question, answered me with, "Well, grocery stores." Hmmm...I wonder why I didn't think of that? Well, HELLO Ms employee. Here's a tip: EVERYONE knows you can get apples at grocery stores, but we also know they are not as good as ones from local orchards nor does mostly buying from grocery stores help our local growers, thus (news-flash) we come to your business to get them. For me, the employee could have used a kinder voice and happier attitude when dealing with the public. Her voice, as I've already said, sounded like she was a little miffed to not be off the phone a little sooner. So for what it's worth, Allred's could really do themselves a favor and UP their "customer service" game for ALL employees...after all, they are dependent on the client for income.
