Wow. There's clearly an ongoing theme here! As well as shocking customer service while calling to resolve a refund that should have happened!
When I received my order, one order of wings was missing. I contacted the store and spoke with the manager, Chris, who confirmed that I would receive a refund within 5–10 working days.
It is now 12 working days and I have still not received the refund.
I contacted the store twice today to try to get an update. During my first call, I was told that Chris was on a break and that I should call back in 15 minutes. I did so, only to be told that the store was very busy and that I could not speak to the manager. I was then put on hold and, after approximately six minutes, I heard someone say to hang up the phone.
I called again and Chris eventually answered. Unfortunately, his attitude was extremely unhelpful and, in my view, rude. Rather than listening to my concerns and providing an update regarding the refund, I was repeatedly told that the oven was full and that I was taking up his time.
I completely understand that restaurants can become extremely busy, but that does not excuse the way a customer should be spoken to, particularly when I am simply trying to resolve an issue that the manager himself previously agreed to resolve. The fact that the store is busy is not my responsibility, and I should not be made to feel that I am inconveniencing the manager by asking where my money is.
I also work in hospitality myself and am a Head Chef, so I fully understand the pressures of working in a busy restaurant environment. However, I would never use being busy as an excuse to dismiss a customer’s legitimate concern. If the store is too busy for a manager to deal with a customer complaint, appropriate arrangements should be made to ensure that the customer is contacted and their issue is resolved.
At this point, I am not looking for excuses. I simply want the refund that I was promised and an explanation as to why it has not been received within the timeframe I was given.
The level of customer service I have received throughout this experience has been extremely disappointing. The missing food was frustrating enough, but the subsequent handling of the issue and the manner in which I was spoken to have made the situation considerably worse.
This isn't the first time that I have had a major issue with this store. But rest assured. It will be the last time!
Edit, after over a week and an email stating that someone from the franchise group would be in contact within 5 days. I have heard nothing!
