i literally had the worst customer service experience with a restaurant today at Wingstop. me and my husband decided we would go out to eat for a quick bite at one of our favorite places WingStop because he has to get up at 4am for work and we didn't have time to cook and eat. We get to wingstop at 7:10pm. decide what we want and place our order at 7:24pm. We ordered the 20 wings with free flavors; mild, louisiana rub, and Hawaiian. the cashier let's us know it will be about a 20 minute wait. "No problem " i replied. we sit down and read a mini newspaper they hadthere and played all the games and comics. next thing we know it's 7:50pm. my husband is getting impatient and we are both super hungry. i tell him hey i've worked at a restaurant before give them a few more minutes. 8:10pm rolls around... still no food. my husband says "what the heck, i saw that guy come in and order while we've been waiting and he just left with his food?!" so i go to the cashier with my receipt and say very politely "hey, i'm just checking on our food, we've been waiting for 50 minutes." the cashier was very nice and apologized. she asked the cook about the food and the cook replied "i never got that" and continued talking to her other coworkers. so i shout "well can you make it?" and the cashier says "yes just give us a couple minutes." i ask "well by the time we get our food, we will have been here for one hour, then we still have to eat. is there anyway we can get a discount or partial refund on our food?" so she goes to talk to the manager, comes back and says that all he could do is 5% WHICH DOESNT EVEN COVER THE TAX. by this point, i'm frustrated and totally over this. "can i speak with the manager please?" again, the cashier was super sweet, said yes ma'am and no ma'am and was the only one that apologized during this whole thing. so the manager comes up and is just standing there looking at me. i ask if i can get a partial refund or discount. he says all he can do is 5%. i'm reply "no that's not enough, that doesn't even cover the tax. can i just get my entire order refunded?" he says to me "well the check is already closed so there's absolutely no way for me to refund your money, so you will either have to take 5% today, 20% on your next visit, or just take the food without a discount when it's ready" by this point, i am absolutely livid. "so you're telling me if i want to cancel my order and walk out that door empty handed without any food, you cannot give me my money back?" he replied "yes ma'am, that's correct. i can't alter the check because it's already closed, but i have your receipt number and your name written down in my office, so when you come back next time i will make sure you get that 20%". i feel like i'm fighting a losing battle so i just take my food and the 20%. but i mean seriously, this isn't even legal??? you can't withhold someone's money from them that they paid for a service that they never received??? so i called corporate and filed a complaint. the manager in corporate that i spoke with is mailing me a $15 giftcard. there was a lady that was standing behind me while i was at the front complaining to the manager. as i was walking out of wingstop, she stopped me and said "were you able to get anything rectified with corporate, because i saw how careless the manager here was to you. i'm so sorry that happened. i'm going. to filing a complaint on them as well. i had to wait 10 minutes to even be awknowledged and order my food. all this staff is doing is horse-playing, while the manager sits back in his office letting them do whatever they want." i just really appreciated this lady for stepping up for me and supporting me. it's a shame that only her and the cashier made me feel reasonable during this experience. after i use my $15 giftcard and 20%, i will NEVER eat at another wingstop ever again. this is a pisspoor way to handle a situation, and i'm honestly disgusted. it ruined our date night, and i couldn't even eat because i was so upset and shaking like it was 20 degrees. i wanted to make this public as a warning to people to not eat here. i'm still debating on whether to sue them or not for saying they were going to withhold my money even if i walked out without any food... we will see. read more
