We will create a case and pull receipt if there is one and send this case to the store manager for handling. This will be a store issue and since the customer did not give specfic items the store team would need to contact this customer. It seems odd that the whole purchase was bad and went unnoticed when purchased.Business Response

I always like to grill on 3-day weekends and this Memorial Day week-end was no exception. I went into your ********************, ******* ****-Dixie and asked the kid supposedly working in meats where the filet mignon cuts were located. He said they are the tenderloins. I knew filet mignon are the end pieces of the tenderloin, but what he was selling was a thin cut piece of steak that was tougher than an old rubbery top round. Additionally, it had a bleach taste to it. Do you label filet mignon? I wanted to email you but your ****-Dixie email site is down. As much money as you bring in charging 3x the price for half the food volume from a couple years ago, I would think you could at least label your filet mignon, have knowlegable meat department employees, and have an up-and-running way to contact you online. I paid $37.00 for a piece of bleach tainted top round labeled as tenderloins and I was told it was a filet mignon. I was lied to and stolen from.Business Response

I had purchased 2 physical gift cards to be sent to my niece. Neither of these gift cards were received. They can't track the cards nor can they check if someone used them. I believe they just charged me the $200 and never sent the cards. Seems like fraud and no resolution. Support was awful when trying to get resolution.Business Response

A case will be created and sent to our EPS/Gift Card Team, they will contact the customer to request copy of receipt as proof of purchase and activation slip in order to investigate the customers case.
