Ordered the mini loaded tacos, a chicken sandwich, and 7 pc jalapeo poppers . They gave us 2 regular tacos and a chicken sandwich which was burnt and stale. No poppers. I have pictures that I can send. They repeated the order so i trusted them and came back home really disappointed. We tried calling and no answer. I am unable to go back at this moment as I have to watch my sister with cerebral palsy. Money is very tight and I am very unhappy about this experience.Business Response

I ordered multiple items on the Jack In The Box app. a few weeks ago. None of the items were prepared correctly. I specifically informed the person at the other end of the intercom that day that it was important to follow the instructions, because there were serious food allergies. Despite me saying this, ALL of the items in my order were prepared incorrectly. The amount paid and the date can be easily retrieved from the app. I was trying to get this issue resolved without having to file a claim with the BBB. However, the manager, ******, at this location has given me no other option. I have tried calling this store to speak with ******, but the voicemail is constantly full, and, therefore, I cant leave a message. I am trying to reach the manager, because the supervisor told me a few weeks ago, when the problem first occurred, that she did not have the authority to correct the matter. Therefore, she said she would speak with the manager and get back to me. However, the supervisor still does not have an answer for me. I have gone to the store multiple times trying to contact the manager, but, each time I ask for ******, the employees tell me she is in a meeting. I have left multiple messages on a piece of paper for ****** to call me, but she has not called me. I told each employee to relay to the manager that I would either like a refund or for the order to be made correctly, but my issue still has not been resolved. I also cant reach a live person on the Jack In The Box 800 number to lodge a complaint either. It appears Jack In the Box does not care about their customers anymore, as it is almost impossible to file a complaint with them. To make matters worst, the person I spoke with today was not only rude, but she also had the audacity to hang up on me when I called today, despite her being told the BBB gave me that number to call. Now, I just want a refund. The store I am lodging a complaint with is located at ****************************************. *****.Business Response

I visited this jack in the box on 10/31/2024 and after waiting in a long line and then being out of a lot of things. I placed my order and at the window the girl who took my payment was very friendly but when it came time to get my food. the lady who gave me my food was very rude and then handed me 3 bags of food and I just assumed everything was in there. when I got home, we realized an entire meal was missing and the food we did get was very poorly made. jalepeno poppers were all flat and our drinks were just carbonation with no flavor of soda. We called the number on the receipt, and it was a number not in service. Due to it being halloween we didnt have time to head back to the store. I filed a complaint on the website on 10/31/2024 and have yet to hear anything back. At this point we just want a refundBusiness Response

I ordered food from the location at **************************************************** here in *********. This was the worst I have ever seen my food prepared. I ordered a double **** and when I looked in the munchie meal box, I had no idea what it was. The condiments were falling out of the burger, the patties were lopsided. I tried to put it back together but there was no hope for it. And my halfsie fries were cold. The girl at the window was very nice but I can tell she was new. She did not know how to put my order in the bag. I am regular customer as I live around the corner from the restaurant. I wouldn't do that to a customer, that's how bad my burger looked. I also filled out the survey.Business Response

On 10/28/24 Drive Thru @Store #**** 1:13 pm CST I ordered my food totaling $29.53 and was told to pull around to the front and they would bring my food out to me. Unknown female manager slammed the bag of food at me & yelled at me to "Next time park on the side in spot 1 or 2." I looked through my order and went inside to purchase additional condiments. I walk up to the cashier with cash in hand & tell her the sauces I would like. Same unknown manager spun around yelling again, "she has to pay for that!!" I told her I have money in my hand & asked her what her problem was. She refused to tell me her name & the employees refused to tell me too. I emailed Jack in the Box and requested to be contacted. I still haven't been contacted as of this complaint. There is absolutely no excuse for a manager to treat a customer the way I was treated. Furthermore, not contacting an upset customer makes my concerns feel unimportant and my business not needed.Business Response

I placed two orders within two days, and both orders were missing items that I was charged for. I contacted the business and got a response that I have to contact via the app to let them know I was missing items since it was an app order. On both I was missing the 2/3 breakfast sandwiches (a total of 4 sandwiches) and the second one I was missing a sourdough ***** I contacted the app and they said they would forward it to the business. About a week later, I contacted Jack in the Box customer line online. I got no response, but that same day I received an email that asked how I liked how they handled the issue. I informed them that it Was Not handled and they stated that they would resubmit it. It's been another week and still nothing from either the corporate or the store. The total for both orders was ***** (***** for one and ***** for the second). I'm not contesting the full amount, I'm just looking for either compensation for the missing food, or the missing food. The total for those items would be $13.90. Some additional information, I use my married name on the app (********* ****) and the order numbers are ***************** and *****************.Business Response
