How in the world has Cintas stayed in business!!!!! They are legit the worst. You get used clothes, our FR rated get stains on them. When you need different sizes they can’t ever follow their own tags. Has anybody else had a good with a uniform company cause I have worked at 2 places and it both times it has been terrible.

  • “Been with my company for a decade and always had cintas uniforms, they were never great at getting things right but we have had the same two guys doing our drop off and restock for the past few years and they have been solid. Big difference from whoever was doing it before him. So I think some of it comes down to who’s handling the route your on”
