Horrible service on 5/15/21 around 4pm. "District Manager," Esmeralda/Esperanza and "Assistant Manager," Junior were not willing to work with me after their staff messed up my order. At 10am, I placed an order for 100pc to be picked up at 4pm, paid $102.xx and was only given half the number of wings by pick up time. The minute my ride dropped off the "100pcs" I knew right away my order was incorrect because there's no way 100pcs will fit in 1 large paper bag. I immediately called them to let them know that I did not get what I paid for. They wanted me to drive back into town--30 minutes away; 1hour round trip--to pick up the other half of my order. I told them that the reason why I scheduled an online order was because my ride was available during that time, hence my scheduled order and would not be able to go back, so for them to credit my money back on my card, or they can Door Dash my wings to me since they made the mistake. What's disappointing was that Esmeralda not once acknowledge that she and her incompetent team messed up my order and proceeded to charge me pro-rated for the 50 wings I brought home, which would be more expensive per wing, then she would refund the difference. This means she would be refunding less than half the cost. At this time, her team still has no idea how they mess up my order. I firmly suggested that since they messed up my order, I would prefer a FULL refund, but will settle with half the cost. She then went on to give me a 5-wings and 1 fries incentive for me to go pick up the other half. Five wings and 1 fries is not worth 1 hour of my life to fix Esmeralda's mistake on top of the emotional exhaustion I had to go through. By this time, I just want to be done with unprofessional Esmeralda. She spoke with a condescending tone as if I offended her and she hung up the phone on me instead of resolving her or her staff's mistake. She no longer wanted to speak to me so she instructed "Assistant Manager" JR to relay messages to me on her behalf. (In my honest opinion, Jr would be a better "District Manager," for he at least sounded sincere and understanding, but was ordered to offer no more than 5 wings and 1 fries.) This went back and forth for almost 2 hours and along the way, Esmeralda was now only going to refund the cost of 30 wings. I was done...My event was ruined and I still have hungry guests, so had to resort to finding alternative food closer to me. I filed a complaint with Wingstop corporate. Followed up the next day with a phone call. Spoke to a Cassandra to let her know what happened. I was told that I will be contacted by upper management anywhere from 24-78 hours, but she didn't really know when I will be contacted, so for me to keep checking my phone and email. I was told by Jr that Esmeralda will reach out to me within 24-48hrs to resolve the issue with a refund. After 50 or so hours, I received a call from Merced Wingstop to hear Esmeralda taking orders and helping customers...faking a trail of customer contact. She never spoke a word to me on this issue. I hung up the phone after 40 or so seconds. It's now been a week and I have yet to receive a call from upper management regarding this issue. Luckily, my bank is able to give me a greater peace of mind by helping me dispute this overcharge. I have never had such a horrible experience and would give negative stars if possible. I've been a loyal customer for the past several years, making big purchases all the time (Wingstop, you can check my order history), but after this terrible experience with these 2 employees of yours and the lack of communication from upper management, I will discontinue my business with you. I wish you all the best of luck.
On the brightside, Esmeralda and JR became my family's inside joke. Each time we experience any conflict of any size, we offer 5 wings and a fries. Have a great day! read more
