Catered Art

Got a coupon on living social for a knife skills workshop. As a business, I found them unprofessional, unreliable, and the receptionist LIED through her teeth!
I booked the workshop over a week ahead, gave my contact info, & was assured that the workshop on July 27 was a go. I was told to bring my own knives & that dinner would be served.
I got there on time, braved south bound Oak St traffic during rush hour, & was hungry.
It is located in the industrial area south of Marine Dr. I pulled the car up, & found no other cars around. The door was locked. No one seemed to be on the premise. I rang the door bell, called their number, emailed living social. Nothing. I checked my email, cell phone, nothing. I waited for 25 min. I finally was crept out, being the only person & only car in that whole industrial plaza, & drove home. I left a vm for them before I left.
The next day, I got a phone call from the young woman I talked to previously. She said that the chef was sick & they cancelled the workshop, & she called & left me a voice mail the day before. I had my cell nearby that whole day. My vm worked, the phone worked. Call display worked. There was no vm ever left by them. I told her so & she just said that she did not know how it happened. All she could do was to rebook me the following week or I had to wait till September!. I already had plans for the following week. I asked her a refund; she told me to contact living social. & that was that. She did not take any responsibility for her oversight. Her tone was casual. No customer service. I wasted over an hour of my time, plus gas & mileage.
I did get my refund from living social, after a week & report my terrible experience with this vendor.
They are a catering company. They are supposed to show up when they say they would. Or any decent business will own up to their mistakes & offer some perks to the customer after they have screwed up. Well, don’t expect any of that from this vendor. What a waste of time they are!
