I have heard great things about Burnett's Keys, have had great service in the past, and I have seen great customer interactions between the staff and the customers - at least with the older gentlemen. The younger employee I feel would be best suited not to interact with customers.
I brought a lock cylinder to the shop on a Thursday in order to have a key cut to replace the missing one. This young buck was pleasant when I dropped it off and stated he would call me mid-afternoon when it was ready. I did not receive a call so I figured they were busy. I called at 4 pm the next day to which the young lad stated that "they'll be done by the time you get here." When I got to the shop the eldest employee of the bunch checked the keys and was not satisfied with how they worked (they didn't work at all), so he said that they would fix it for me before feeling comfortable enough to sell it. I appreciated that very much.
Monday comes along, Tuesday, Wednesday, still no call. I stop in Thursday morning (today), and that nice older guy was the one to assist me again. Luckily, the key worked fine and I paid for the service. Here's the thing though, when I walked into the store, the young chap made eye contact with me, turned around, and decided to walk to the back of the store and stand there while efficiently doing nothing. I got his attention before I left and asked why he failed to call me at any time in the last 5 business days. Looking down at the yellow slip in front of him he figured, to the best of his judgment, the most appropriate answer would be "I don't know... we were busy... who cares."
Burnett's, it's been swell. That little bag of cojones needs to either learn some manners, customer appreciation, interpersonal communication skills, or get stuffed in the back somewhere out of sight. I give the older gentlemen 5/5 stars, but for the sake of this kid, I give you a 2/5. I couldn't justify a single star, again, because you guys do great work.
