      We started a contract with this company on 8/11/22 to get uniforms from them for our company with the desired install date of 9/30/22. We were told it would take 4-6 weeks total. This company said they were going to send someone out to measure our techs for uniforms. After 3 weeks of chasing this company and then being told their guy was on vacation I had to go out and measure my guys and send them sizes. I was then told there would be a rush put on them since they were already behind. I sent the sizes on Monday 9/26/22 and was told by the manager ***** on 9/29/22 that it would be two weeks. I have been calling him every day since last Monday and was guaranteed the latest they would be in would be last Thursday or Friday ( 10/13 or 10/14) or the absolute latest Monday (10/17). As of today they are still not in and ***** does not call as he says he is going too. I am calling him every day and he says he will call back with an update and never does. I feel like I am having to chase everyone in this company. I even tried to call corporate in Pennsylvania and no one even answers that number. I just need my uniforms for my techs and need them now. As of today they are 19 days late.

      Used ********** which was bought out by Aramark and several issues began. We had uniforms missing after being returned for repair, items returned that were supposed to be repaired and came back damaged. We were billed for picked up items, we were billed for items not received, we ordered uniforms for employees and never received them. Too many issues to mention. We had to stop service due to several problems that had gone uncorrected. Aramark breached the contract by not providing the services listed. Months had gone by without billing us for any deliveries and no attempt was made to pick up uniforms left behind. After a few months and a new manager, Aramark threatened to pursue $30k for breach of contract. After much back and forth with documentation in our favor- the new territory manager agreed to pursue the breach of contract issue and pick up the uniforms. After the uniforms were picked up - months later - we had been contacted regarding invoices owed. We were told by the territory manager to "disregard the the invoices" as we "were billed in error" (emails attached). We received two phone calls asking about the invoices to which I showed the email telling us to disregard them. Was told by representative that they would look into it. A month later we received no reponse for Aramark regarding the invoices - however a creditor - *** ***** - called asking us to pay the invoices and the $30k "breach". We provided documentation of the emails telling us the breach would not be pursued and to disregard the remaining invoices. To which we were told that they would "settle" for $1400. We did not agree. Then called Aramark and was told they have been receiving numerous calls daily stating that a collections company was trying to collect on invoices that were not valid from multiple companies and that they are working on the billing issues. It seems highly suspicious that invoices are being handed over to collections when they are admitting they are not valid. Scam.

      After almost 10 years of service, Aramark now provides nothing but disservice. Uniforms come back ripped or not at all, after being tagged multiple times. A supervisor came to our location and I personally handed him a ripped shirt, it still came back ripped. After completely removing the ripped sleeve, the shirt came back clean with one sleeve missing. Our logo mats were purchased yet they still continued to charge rental fees. This was resolved after months of follow up. Logo mats sent out for cleaning would not come back for months. Price gouging on safety nitrile gloves, even after covid supply and demand was no longer an issue. Even representatives from the company recommended shopping on ******. Now, after cancelling the service, they are trying to claim breach of contract and demand over $11,000.00 for an account that serviced less than a dozen workers and 3 floor mats. Now a very rude collections company (****) is harassing my staff. I will take any and all legal action against Aramark and be sure that anyone that will listen, knows what a bad service this is and to beware.

      In April 2020 I contacted Aramark we no longer needed their services after our restaurant closed due to COVID restrictions. In October 2021 we started receiving invoices for products and services. I contacted their office to inform them we were sent a bill in error. I also specified we have not used their services since April of 2020. Sporadically I'll receive invoices but lately, they call my establishment leaving messages with my staff that I'm delinquent in paying my bills. I've placed calls and text messages to Erik S******** (Aramark Rep) he does not return my call. I received an invoice today stating I now owe $2020.28 on services and products I do not receive. I spoke with a representative ( not sure what date Spring 2022) she stated I could buy out my contract of 2 years to close the account after I told her the services were canceled in April 2020. It was then I ended the conversation.

      Currently, we're receiving invoices, over the past several months, with an "INVOICE MINIMUM" fee, which is not part of our current contract. No explanation as to why this charge was being applied. Our Director of Accounting & Purchasing Agent have been trying to resolve, but with no return explanation; no return phone calls or communication. We've accumulated multiple invoices with this ongoing issue, with no resolution. Debt owed is now several thousand dollars.

      I signed up to recieve Aramarks uniforms for my employees on a personal account with them in December of 2021. Months went by and not even a single item showed up. After multiple calls and no response back we assumed it went to the wind, then one day in April Aramark sent me a bill for the goods their system said I had but I did not actually yet even recieve. I called and asked about it and they said someone came out to size us all(which was a lie) asked every one of my employees about it and all said no one came, also the day they state the rep came out I was there and can prove it on camera that he/she never came. Called told them to cancel everything since at this point it had been over 6months and nothing had shown up. Complete theft of my money. Still many months later they continue to charge me over 200$/month for items I never received. I have all the bank statements to prove it and the camera footage to show that not once did I get the products I paid for. Not even did I recieve the refund I was promised by the houston area manager. I want a formal apology for this and the theft of my money along with a full refund of all the money paid so far. It totals over a grand.as well, they will put you on hold before even answering the call, currently I have been on hold awaiting the first available rep for over 1hour. Not first time

      My company has been using Aramark's shop towel/apron/uniform/shop coat services since 2010. Service, in general, has significantly deteriorated over the last number of years. Despite months and months of requests for various issues - pricing issues to be corrected, billing quantity issue to be corrected, repairs to be fixed, shirts to be replaced and the old ones taken out of rotation - the problems still persist. The weekly service techs and territory managers attempted to resolve many of the issues without success. Unfortunately, our account has had so many service techs and territory managers over the years that it adds to the frustration of of unresolved issues being carried over to new personnel who are not familiar with what had been occurring prior to their arrival. Our current contract goes through May 2023. It is not until I submit a letter of termination in August 2022 (well in advance of the required 60-day prior to renewal date) on the basis of Aramark's breach of contract do I start getting emails from the Service Manager for my area, advising Aramark is allowed a 30 day period to resolve the issues. Aramark has had MONTHS to resolve the issues (one dates back to September 2021 and still is not resolved); they have had their 30 days and then some. The same situation occurred at the end of our previous contract - there had been on-going issues and we submitted a notice of cancellation. Suddenly, I had a roomful of Aramark personnel saying they would correct the issues, pressing us to renew. Obviously, we did but the situation just does not improve. Despite all the documentation I have provided outlining the months of unresponded to/unresolved problems, Aramark insists my company is in breach and will advise us of the exit cost to early terminate the contract. It is evident they are more concerned with their numbers as opposed to improving the quality of service they provide.

      To Whom it may concern, This letter is to express my intention to end our service with Aramark uniform services. For the past several months, we have not received our logo mats and our deliveries have often fallen short of the pars agreed upon in our contract. We are often not delivered mop heads, or Towels, or linen bags. We are still charged over $120 for these items each week. This past week, we were charged over $140 and still did not receive the bulk of our weekly order. No mats, no mop heads. We are an extremely small restaurant and the inability or unwillingness to properly maintain our account is completely unacceptable. We have called almost monthly since April to cancel this account. Many times, we left a call back number and were not called back. On July 12, I was finally able to successfully put in the cancellation request, or so I thought. Kenny, the regional manager, called me and informed me that I “had to give 30 days” for them to resolve the issues. Absolutely nothing was changed, and no one followed up with me in any way. Again, last week, on August 24th we called to cancel our service. This time, after we were charged again and another incomplete delivery was made, we called Kenny and were told “we need to provide written notice per our contract”. Why were we not notified of this the first time? Why are we expected to uphold a contract when Aramark NEVER meets their end by providing us the limited amount of items that we pay for each week? We have had to go out and buy mop heads and towels on too many occasions to count because they were not delivered to us. This is absolutely unacceptable service and resolution. I also plan to submit a formal list of the items I have been paying for and have not been receiving. Aramark is clearly knowingly taking advantage of their customers.

      Asked more than 10 times to cancel service and pick up all uniforms and any rental. Company told me numerous times that it would get handled. They kept billing my account after I asked them to stop and pick up everything. I was working with someone in billing, until they rudely hung up on call, thought it was getting handled. Week later I get a call from a collection agency trying to collect money from me. Shady business practice. I’ve wasted hours of my time ($342.00 per hour) trying to resolves this, and this is how they want to handle it. I would like compensated for my wasted time please.
