In all my years, I have never had to write a negative review for any business. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would have. With that being said, this is probably the worst WingStop location ever. I highly recommend that the owner steps in and re-evaluates the employees working here, especially the manager. And quite honestly, after talking with the manager, I believe that she is a direct reflection of the staff: rude, unhappy, and had no urgency to complete orders on such a "busy" day. This place lacks professionalism and overall, customer service.
Today, I ordered online to pickup in location. Now, I know they never complete orders in a timely manner, so I always give extra time to them, especially on a Sunday. It was supposed to be quick a pick up because my baby was getting kind of fussy. My dad went into pay for the wings. The cashier took his payment, and then told him they were still working on the wings. He lets me know. Fine. I have no probably waiting on them to finish up the order. How long could it possibly take? So, i come into the location. FILTHY. But again, I give them the benefit of the doubt. They are "busy." I guess. They are passing out people's meal out of order. People were coming in, ordering, and getting their food faster than those already waiting. Also, the girl passing out food, you could use some retraining. She doesn't apologize for the wait, instead she tosses the bag across the counter to the customer, and immediately, walks away without acknowledging the person or anyone else for that matter. Then the manager shows up. She's in no hurry to help. She seems to be taking her sweet time. However, they were having some issue with a customer order - out of cheese or something. They had already charged the customer without even checking their inventory. At this point, the cashier was trying to be a little sympathetic. I'm pretty sure I heard her apologize once. Fast forward to a few more minutes, I finally realize 20 more minutes go by. I don't get what the issue is now. Finally, someone asks my dad what his name is, but the order was for my name. But the employee still says it will be just a moment. And I realize wait the receipt has my name, not his. I will take ownership for that, our mistake, but you are promising him an order that doesn't exist now, and you took his payment without a problem (even after he told them he was picking up for Kaitlyn from the beginning). My dad approaches the counter and tries to tell them it's under, "Kaitlyn." Here's the kicker: Now, they check the rack of online orders and they pull an order that's been sitting there since my dad got there. Approximately, 30 minutes now. The manager is standing in the beverage fridge, watching. The employee hands the cold food to my dad and walks away. Says nothing. At this point, I'm pissed and had more than enough. I walk up to the counter and ask to talk to the manager. She says, "Yes, what's the problem?" Great response, right? That's the type of person you want representing your brand. Anyways, I explain to her that I have watched that bag sit on the shelf the whole time we have been here, blames my dad for the mix up, and she says she doesn't know what I want her to do because it will take a long time to redrop/refry. I don't want to wait anymore. I don't have the time for that. The wings are going to be bad regardless. I let her know it's not my dads fault, the employees had my name on the receipt, but they still knew how to take my dad's money for the order. Plus, I am not waiting, but she needed to know that all the employees in there are unprofessional and their customer service SUCKS. We walk away. As we walk away, she says, "I apologize ma'am, but I was on lunch when it got busy." I don't need the excuses. They should know how to function effectively with or without you. Then again, if you are the poor "leader" you showed me to be, I can see where your team is disadvantaged. Get a handle on yourself. You are failing your team.
Finally, I checked my wings in the car. I ordered the 25 Boneless Wings for $15: Hawaiian, Garlic Parmesan, and Hickory BBQ. They were obviously cold, hard, and had hardly any sauce on them. They just looked like plain chicken nuggets with a single PACKET of sauce poured on them.
If we hadn't paid and I wasn't so hungry. I would have tossed this meal.
All-in-all, I won't be back to this location. Honestly, the wings will always sell themselves, but that doesn't mean settle on a unsatisfactory staff. They won't get the job done. Bad customer service will kill a business and I'm disappointed that all these reviews, don't encourage you guys to take better control of your business. Your employees represent your brand and they don't do it any justice. read more
