1/7/23 @ 5:15am this morning, I stopped at the Jack In the Box @ Greenville & Parklane to pick up food for friends that stayed over it was about a $45 dollar order. I was at the order sign in drive through.

The young man took my order and as usual needed me to repeat what I told him, so I did twice just to make sure the got it. I was the only Car in drive or even the parking lot that early this morning.

and not only did he ask me to repeat the order at the window, but he had a attitude. I asked him why was he asking that again, he then said something about not caring and closed the window in my face. I drove off!

Jack in the Box is in business to make money, and provide a service to the consumer and when you hire people like that NASTY attitude person, that shows disregard and poor…

Location is attached, this happened about 15 minutes ago 7:30 am. My boyfriend went thru the drive thru and ordered an order of the loaded tacos, when he got home it was regular tiny tacos. He ordered me the Sausage breakfast Biscuit combo, we recieved a hamburger bun instead of the biscuit.

Now my complaint is more about the way I was treated when i called to let them know the order was incorrect. For one the last barely spoke English, and I am a Hispanic woman so this isn't a racial issue.

However, she immediately began to raise her voice and tell me how we were lying. We order this quite often so the chances of incorrectly naming the items we want is pretty slim. My sandwich I literally sent a screenshot of exactly what I wanted and he used that to order my part of the order so…

Complaint regarding rude staff at Rowlett Jack in the Box on Rowlett Road. I went to drive through on 01/05/2022. I place an order which was $23 and change. At the drive up Window I placed my order. When I got to the Window to Pay there were 3 boys sitting around doing nothing.

I checked my order and found that there were no onion rigs that I had ordered.

The boy at the window said I didn't order Onion Rings at the Drive through spot, I said yes I did. Told him i needed onion rings, he took my money to pay for the Onion Rings that I ordered.

He then old me to pull around the front of the bulding and they would get my onion rings, I refused and got my money back.

I will not go back to your store in Rowlett ever again. What kind of people Manage this place?

I am filing a formal…

My complaint is in regards to the Jack in the Box in Dunnigan California. As I'm a frequent patron to the restaurant I have grown very annoyed and tired of the following to reasons; 1. Servers are very hard to understand they have extremely bad broken English. 2.

The outside ordering speaker is not operating properly and they cannot hear when you talk to them and this has been going on for a long time doesn't look like anybody's taking care of it to replace them. 3. m. 4.

Again this has been going on for quite some time the entry doors from outside into the restaurant only has one door you can go in or out of and I've been pushed technically by one of their workers is they're coming out so…

It is the worst fast food I think I've ever had in my life the location here in Irving off of Loop 12 and Union Bower it was just plain nasty there's no other word for it I got ripped off for 15 something dollars of food how about two tacos two Jumbo Jacks with cheese and loaded mini tacos the loaded mini tacos was the most nastiest thing I've ever had in my life probably a box of slimy lettuce with hot sauce on it basically it was so

slimy it was like I was eating somebody spit or something it was just nasty gross I took one bite out of it and threw it away I never got a reply back on the last complaint I posted either this is ridiculous this used to be a pretty decent Jack in the Box but now it's just crap when they tell you I have to drive through we're not taking orders right now and…

Went through drive through at store # 8302, order #105, employee was Karina at 6:49pm. Ordered a #3. Got home and sat down to eat but there was no burger. Just fries and the drink. I’ve tried calling their phone several times but they do not answer.

I paid over $16 for fries and a drink. Unacceptable

I have been told buy a manager at another Jack in the box that I should order a plain croissant add cheese add bacon. As apposed to ordering a supreme croissant no egg no ham because it cost me less money $2 or more.

When trying to order that way at the Jack in the Box in Boulder City, NV I was told by the young man taking my order I could not order it that way I had to order a Supreme Croissant no ham no egg therfore paying for egg and ham I did not want.

Is this an individual store policy or is this a corporate policy. Can individual Jack in the Box stores make there own rules. It seems to me that they just are increasing their profits by making you do this. What ever happened to "get it your way"

Hi I recently went into Jack in the box, go get a mobile order for a Jasmine when I walked in it was a Mexican man taking my order there was a tall Caucasian man with glasses who came in really hostile yelling at the young man I didn't get the name of the guy who was yelling at him but I did ask that young man what was his name and I think he said Q I asked Q who was the young man yelling at him he said oh he's a manager sorry about that but

I do not like the way he was treating his employees this matters needs to be handle.

Have been to the jack in the box in marana az 4 times since Christmas and of the four times they have gotten my order wrong twice. Once the food was inedible and had to be thrown away. Orders were replaced with me arguing with the manager of store.

Yesterday she told me that she could not have anymore complaints from me and that I was going to have to start opening my sandwiches in the drivethrough and making sure they were correct, because she hand trained her employees and they could not possibly be making an error. I told her that no sauce ment no sauce not do what ever you like.

It took me twenty minutes to receive the food and then the order was wrong. 00 this week alone we eat there 2 to 3 times a week so I will just take my money elsewhere and she can keep her hand trained staff.

Went to pick up snacks tonight with my family in Arcadia, CA got 2 sourdough Jacks, munchies box, and an order of 2 tacos. Came home and found out my food was half eaten and the people there was rude.

Did not want to complaint but when I saw my food I couldn’t just let it go. It’s very disappointing and I feel very disrespected because the manager didn’t seem to care about his customers at the drive thru. They took a LONG time to take our order.

We visited jack in the box at 7979 Broadway lemon grove, ca on 1/1/23. 69. When I told him that is not the price on the menu his reply was “ we raised our prices but haven’t had time to change the menu board prices at the drive thru.

I said you have to give it to us at menu price because it’s against thei law to advertise one price and charge another. Wasn’t about to start my new year over it so we left.

Your new Jack-in-the-Box on Highway 199 in Springtown Texas is a disaster! The two entrances which are designated, however get crammed up horribly, the side road gets blocked up from cars waiting in the street, the inside long lines are crazy and today they literally lock the doors because they could not handle all the people coming in so

it made it that much worse in the very small parking lot for cars to maneuver around! and a whole bunch of other people kept leaving. Going to sonic! Like us!! No sign on the door saying they were closed or whatever!

We talk to some people getting in their van and they had gotten in the door in right after that they lock the door because they said they cannot handle the crowd! I don’t know if it’s due to not having enough employees or what!?!?

Employee at drive thru was rude from the beginning from saying "What do you want" to not giving me my card back then when I asked for a receipt she gave me the wrong receipt. I then stayed it was the wrong receipt and she said no it's not that's yours so I drove around and went inside to get it.

I told her what my order was so she rolled her eyes and proceeded to print out the correct one and tossed it on the counter. The food was cold and the tacos had no meat.

My mother went into the drive thru and ordered food after receiving the food she realized she had ordered incorrectly and attempted to get it corrected she even offered to pay for the other food she requested and was told no. I then called and asked if I could get the food corrected and was informed no that she received what she'd ordered.

I again called and asked for a a manager and was told that they refused to serve me at this point and started telling me to fuck off followed by informing me that my mother shouldn't have been "fucking retarded and ordered the correct food to begin with" . This occured at the Spokane Washington jack in the box at Sprague and Havana between 2:30-2:45 pm on December 30th and I believe the name stated was James

TV commercials I have issue with. 1 is the commercial about the fan favorites $10 box (which I had to look up)…. The Jack in the Box character interrupts the employee sharing an idea…. ) But again, I am fed up with the arrogance and disrespect “Jack in the Box” shows to his ‘employees’ in these commercials.

It’s the arrogance and disrespectful attitude I think about and remember…. Im sure I’m not the only one. I’ll find out, I’m sure.

The Jack in the Box on Jackson Avenue in India, CA is absolutely disgusting! There is a mixture of soda and water on the floor in front of the soda machine. The tables are never cleaned! The women’s bathroom is absolutely awful!

There is feces on the seat of the toilet, papers all over the floor, no toilet seat covers and the floor is a sticky mess. When brought to the attention of the employees, they did not respond. They simply casts a blank stare.

I will NEVER cone back to this place again!! It is a cesspool!!

Jack in the box located on 1925 FM - 1488 Hempstead, TX 77445 has the worst customer service that I’ve ever experienced. I stay close so it’s my go-to fast food. There is a manager on floor that’s always rude.

When she’s there she’s always having you pull around for 20-30 minutes or she will say, “we aren’t taking any orders at the moment” so she practically closes and opens at anytime she wants. This has been going on for the past couple of months so I strongly doubt I’m the only person that’s filled a complaint.

Regrettably I stayed to wait for my food and the car at the window was having an argument with her, something needs to be done! I would recommend she goes through training all over again - sometimes workers that have been in the same position/profession for a long time forget…

Floors were wet and slippery. I am crippled and almost fell. There was 1/8 of an inch of water on the floor in the bathroom and in the kitchen because of this I was unable to use the restroom. It was too dangerous.

My past experiences in the last month Have been at this restaurant was not cleaned ever. The tables were always dirty the kitchen was dirty the floors were dirty. This is a large health violation. The number of the restaurant is 1139.

If my granddaughter wasn’t with me in certain stopping I would not stop at this particular restaurant , this was a mistake that I will not forget nor will happen again. I hope the rest of your restaurant should I stop at or not in this kind of shape.

Someone needs to go in there and straighten them out.

I would have given a 0 out of five stars but 1 conveys the message I'm sending just fine. I stopped in to jack in the box in susanville Calif to eat, I went in hungry and left 15$ lighter, humiliated and still hungry.

The service was terrible the 3 women I dealt with were so rude and full of attitude I felt uncomfortable . I have eaten a lot of food in my 58 years but I couldn't eat even one single bite of the ultimate bacon cheeseburger from my meal.

I've never liked when someone overstate something or exaggerates to get a point across so I'll try to understate this The patties were as dry as the Sahara. With an odd taste almost a smoky mold taste, of the 1/2 piece of cheese that was on the burger 1/2 of that was unmelted hanging from the side there were 2 small soggy pieces of bacon as…

Poor customer service on Christmas day 10:53am. I came to jack in the box to order food for my kids( two sausage breakfast jacks one spicy chicken meal and a large curly fry on the side as well. Drive thru was very rude.

The line wasn't long, there were 4 of us in the line. And three customer inside. The drive thru guy asked us to wait one sec. we waited about 10 minutes. While we was waiting one of the vehicles behind us started honking because they were taking so long and ended up asking one of the customers behind him to pull back so he could get out of line.

When they finally came back to take our order the lady was rude. Rushing us and putting the wrong things on the screen and i had to keep correcting her. She was in such a rush that she kept getting my order wrong.

7412 E McDowell road Scottsdale Az 85257 in specific, As a relatively re occurring customer coming to place an order on 12/23/2022 approximately around 3:30-4am. To order something as simple as fas food which is normally easy to do.

However on this set date and time for whatever reason the current employees were unable to not hear my order, which was there reasoning on denying me food but also leaving there mics on where I hear 4 staff members talking about who was going to take the order and all denying it.

Then when I explain to them I can hear them and also acknowledge there dis-cooperation with taking customers order I advised them to turn there mics off so the customers couldn’t hear there conversations about them talking about their customers and denying to take orders. Then a male…

Re: Jack In The Box at 4425 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA 94609. Hours are "Open until 9, drive-through 24 hours", but the last two days I've visited, the lobby is locked completely. Tonight when visiting at 6:30 PM (yesterday at 3:30 PM), I see three staff members on their break eating food at the same time, while again the lobby is locked, and the employee there gives me the 'cut it out' gesture to indicate the lobby is closed.

On my bicycle, drive-thru is not an option. I'm just not going back to Jack In The Box again while you guys aren't interested in running a business that earns money.

Waiting for someone to take my order, it seemed longer but it probably was about 5 minutes before someone responded to my only call outing came to take my order several other employees either saw me or acknowledged me by saying "I don't take orders " but didn't tell any one we were waiting. STORE #3292.

We have been coming here for 20 years for breakfasted can't remember having to wait that long, when we were the only ones at the front counter. I counted only 4 employees, aye they were overwhelmed or maybe they need more help.

Why I will never go to Jack in the Box again

I went to Jack in the Box on 6100 NE Bothell way in Kenmore at 12:59PM on 12/18/2022. I ordered a small fry, sourdough jack, 2 tacos, and water that came to $9.89. I first requested a Sprite, which she said they didn’t have sprite, after a little back and forth, because Rosa had a thick accent and it’s difficult to hear her through the speaker. I left the drive through and checked my order; the fires weren’t in there. I went back around and parked figuring it would be easy to go in and communicate. The moment I walked in Rosa printed out the receipt she never gave me and told me she never charged me for the fries, in very broken English. She said something about free, but I couldn’t understand what she meant, she later told me she was going to…
