      My experience with ******* in customer service at ********************** was extremely disappointing. When I called to inquire about the status of a delayed shipment, *******'s response was beyond unhelpful. Not only did she dismissively state that they were too busy for my business, but she also claimed she lacked the authority to assist me. Instead of addressing my concern, she went on to overwhelm me with internal operation processes and challenges, completely disregarding the issue at hand. This level of disregard for customer concerns and lack of accountability is unacceptable. I hope Stark Bro's Nursery takes steps to improve their customer service and ensure that other customers don't have to endure similar experiences
