Chilis - Stubborn Manager Ruined Our Dinner
This event took place on Saturday February 16 2019 we arrived at 4:50 and didnโt leave the restaurant till 7:25 I have never spent to much time in a restaurant and more than half of that was waiting around being avoided.
Me and my Aunt ordered the 2 for $25 the food was good and we asked ahead if we could substitute the dessert for the chocolate lava cake and our server said yes they should be able to. About 5mins later the server came back and said they werenโt able to now.
We were confused because at the same location theyโve done it for us before. So we asked to speak to the manager who came looking unprofessional with their buttons on their bottom shirt undone. And we asked politely about it and they said they could do the sโmores lava cake and we said no because weโve tried that before and we didnโt like it. He offered a dessert that wasnโt listed under the 2 for 25 that was the exact same price as the one we wanted so we didnโt understand why the manager was being so stubborn he then proceeds to tell us well he can only substitute if they are out of a dessert so we then asked can we just pay the difference and he rudely said no the dessert is NOT an option.
He then says we can pick the cheesecake or the cookie thatโs it. Even tho he offered us a different lava cake earlier. We then said itโs fine we donโt want any well take the lava cake weโll pay full price then. So he walks away and 15 mins later go by and we are frustrated at this point and a random server brings us a cheesecake to go.
We were confused and said it wasnโt ours the server then goes to our server whispers in their ear and goes into the back without anyone speaking to us again a second person comes out with the chocolate lava cake to go. I stated to the second person coming up to us we did not order anything ToGo and I said I donโt know why I keep getting random things brought to the table. He then leaves the Togo lava cake there in the bag and walks away to our server I can see across the restraint and whispers in their ear again. Keep in mind we have yet to get our bill and we are already getting a 2nd ToGo dessert the machines broken so we canโt oay on their our desert comes with ice cream and is sitting their melting in the bag.
Our server avoids coming to our table so I have to flag down the same rude manager and I state to him all we wanted was to enjoy the dessert we like there inside the restaurant we offered to pay the difference I donโt understand this is as hard as pulling teeth to get what we want to order. Finally we get our dessert and no check weโve been in the restaurant for about 2hrs and a good 1hr of it was waiting around. I personally didnโt think after all the inconveniences the manabger would charge us for the dessert. But we have to ask 2 times for the bill and when we finally get it.
We are charged for the 2 for $25 that said we got the cheesecake and the lava cake separate for full price. We were ready to leave and didnโt have any more energy to keep asking questions back and forth the manager was very stubborn and wanted to be right.
And didnโt care about making our dinner at chilis nice he only carried about proving his point even though we asked ahead of time and our server said yes. We paid the bill and left I will never return to this Chiliโs ever again.

Attention: Everybody. This reviewer is a fraud and a phony. This customer is using different alias.
Quarantine must be boring commenting on things over a year old
And the entitled customer's real name is here. It's so clear you're just mad and angry because people hate dealing with entitled customers like you!
It must be boring to be rude and arrogant.
Nobody has to listen to a customer like you! You're a chauvinist pig!
YOU SHOULD HAVE THREW A FIT LIKE A TWO YEAR OLD AND SCREAMED AND CRIED UNTIL YOU GOT YOUR WAY!
Let's not go there. People need to act like adults, not children.
Basically you're encouraging others to do so. That's says alot about you and your character.
You're sounding like the reviewer. You're not fooling anybody!
And you should have someone pull you by your hair and throw you out. We all know that it is you.
You're the one from the review!
You're not fooling anybody! Duh!
The 2 for $25 is a deal where youโre pretty much getting all the food for half off to begin with. In the menu it says please no substitutions.
When people like you get something once you think itโs a free for all and can get whatever you want every time you come in. Thereโs no way in the computer to put in and account for the dessert you want (molten cake) while simultaneously getting the 2 for $25 deal. If they say yes to you every single time you come in then they have to say yes to other people who want to change the deal and it defeats the whole purpose of the deal in the first place. You cannot get everything you want.
Also, the waitress was helping you by putting in the cheesecake. If she didnโt select a dessert (applicable with the 2 for $25) you wouldnโt have gotten the deal at all because the computer is set up to only adjust the price once all items of the deal are placed in the computer (app, entree, dessert).
You must be an employee because you MAD. Itโs about customer service and the whole time we were talked to with an attitude and we were ignored.
I offered to pay for the lava cake separate. The issue is I told the manager this and he wanted to be petty and childish and bring me random desserts TO GO When I said weโll get the lava cake for here and Iโll pay for it. Thatโs very childish to keep sending me different desserts to go.
It was too different desserts and when the random worker would drop it off they would take it to the table then directly go in the corner and whisper and laugh with my server. Maybe you should get a different career other than chiliโs because youโre home sitting chiliโs reviews mad.
i have worked with the company in the past and was explaining how the deal works because itโs not as simple as someone just saying no to you. I agree it was petty for the manager to send you two desserts to go when you clearly said you wanted the one dessert (that you were paying extra for) at the restauraunt. In my time with the company Iโve never seen my managers purposely do something like that to any of our customers and usually are giving out free food and letting the customer get whatever they want.
And maybe you need to understand "No the customer is not always right." Maybe if customers are going too cause an scene, then they need to stay home!
Read the end sweetie
You know it is your own fault that you're like a customer from h. Nobody wants to serve you if you're going to act like a.
So stop telling others how to read. Unless if you want someone to slap you for sounding stupid!
First off. Nobody is your sweetheart.
And second, people are able to read.
It's so bad and sad to customers like you are acting like you're having a period or something just because you're not able to act your way! No employee or manager needs to serve you!
the only thing i want to read is when people like you die from covd 19
Lol yea he/she is an employee probably got fired
Really? You're going too think this is funny?
No employee or manager should be allowed to serve you with the way you're acting!
Let's hope entitled customers like you are the ones who get fired. Not the sweet and nice employees and the managers who are doing their jobs.
Thankyou. You're standing up for employees and managers who have too deal with entitled customers. Customers like this are the reason why managers and employees hate their jobs
Get a different career
You're really rude and arrogance. Sorry but nobody is going to take advice for an rude and arrogant people like you.
People do know how to read.
And you're just mad and angry at because people are calling you out for the way you're acting. You're another sad and bad case of an entitled customer who lies and fabricates!
