I am writing to express my disappointment regarding an incident that occurred during my visit to the World of Coca-Cola on January 1, 2025. My family and I visited as the first stop on our road trip to ****** World. We chose your establishment because my mother loves *********, and its known as the top attraction in Atlanta.While most of the visit was enjoyable, our experience was overshadowed by an unacceptable interaction in the tasting room. My father, who is learning English, approached an employee mopping the floor to ask for help using the soda dispenser. Instead of assisting him, she aggressively hit the bottom of the machine twice, loudly yelled at him to move, and made forceful hand gestures to get him off the wet floor. The noise and her behavior **** everyones attention, leaving us humiliated and uncomfortable.There is no justification for treating any guest this way. My father, a kind and respectful man, simply needed assistance. This interaction completely ruined our experience and left a negative impression of your staffs professionalism.I have attached a photo of the employee, taken at 1:45 PM on January 1. The incident occurred around that time, and I encourage you to review any available footage to see the employees behavior firsthand.The World of Coca-Cola is a global attraction, welcoming visitors from diverse languages and cultures. Every guest should feel respected and supported, regardless of language barriers. I hope you address this matter and take steps to ensure all staff treat visitors with kindness and patience moving forward.Thank you for your time and attention.Business response

I have numerous ********* drink bottle caps with PINs that were intended for use to redeem any number of items (********* products, merchandise, etc.) or enter to win various prizes (destination trips, cash, etc.). Before ending the program that promoted the use of obtaining PINs from ********* bottle caps, ********* disallowed the banking of points from the PINs. The bottle caps with **** from purchased ********* products became useless. I would not have purchased ********* products and kept in excess of 100 bottle caps except to obtain the under-the-cap PIN.I am unable to receive an answer that reflects the request for compensation when I contact ********* **************** to receive proper compensation for the many bottle caps that were obtained when that the company promoted its products with emphasis of the PIN that could be used to redeem products or enter to win prizes.Business response

Hi We are a restaurant that has been using ********* company for over 10 years. We use the bar gun services for our bar. On April 2024, we did a mini renovation for our restaurant including the bar. We called the ********** company for them to send out tech only to relocate the bar lines. The sales *** came and put in the order for the tech to come. The tech came the next day and said we need new bar guns, so we called again to put in request. Few weeks after, the tech came BUT did not want to come in because he said we need new lines. So I contacted the local sales ***, he put in another request. So we have been going back and forth with the sales *** with the customer service asking when will they come. They have been giving us all different dates, Apparently we had to wait for the planner - **** K to schedule the service. Supposedly again for Oct 16, so I called on Oct 15 asking the status. And now they changed the date AGAIN! Asked to talk to the planner but no direct number and said will call me back but NOPE. This has been SIX months. We are a bar restaurant and we NEED the soda guns. Calling everyone that doesn't get us ANYWHERE. Sales *** won't pick up or respond anymore. Let me know what we need to do. Thanks.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. I do accept this response.However, I do sincerely think and hope that BBB will publish this online for other businesses/restaurants to view. Because this has took us six months. Also. this was only resolved after we contacted BBB. We tried numerous ways, phone calls, emails and talked to all different customer service ***s/sales *** and still got us no where. Also, was neglected by our sales *** and planner even though was trying to contact them numerous times. Was given all different dates as when they will come to our location to install but as time was approaching, they told us none of the dates were in the system. It was a very frustrating process that lasts six months. I feel that ********* company should takes this seriously as you are a well-known company and you really should treat your customers seriously.
Thanks ******************** for resolve this for us.
Sincerely,

He had me on every two weeks, which I did not ask for.I called customer service to get reimbursed only to get redirected to a dead number. I want the Coke's cooler removed from my shop and I want the $423.05 reimbursed for failure to deliverBusiness response

I have been ordering custom Coke products for over 9 years. My previous purchases included a name that was already approved therefore it was no reason for me not to think my recent purchases was going to be initially denied. Once I called to discuss, the representative confirmed that my secondary names were approved before and she was going to get it approved so that I could move forward with my order. I received the email confirmation that I may go back and place my order again for the two custom cans to be completed. I called back to confirm that I was not goi g to be charged another $9.99 since they approved of one of my custom can. I was advised that I had to pay another $9.99 if I wanted my initial two custom can order to by fulfilled. This makes absolutely no sense when all three custom cans should have been approved. I am asking for the $9.99 to be refunded back to me since there was nothing added or changes from my initial order and I already paid the $9.99 shipping cost. Original order number **********Business response
