Whataburger unethical behaviour and cold food

I was not provided a proper receipt at the point of sale, I was short changed by $1 USD found after I left store since I was in the drive thru. For the 4th time in 1 year I have had problems at this specific store found torn partial receipt in bottom of bag below my Whataburger after I finished eating. Since I had to go to work I could not return to the store. I am logging this online via my office computer. Total Order was for $10.60 Order # was 330508, see attached picture. Also 2/3 of French Fries were 1.5" long or less and COLD to the Touch, A few hot ones were on top. The Whataburger was hot and the few Long Fries were hot but all of the short fries were COLD and HARD like tiny hard pencils. SO I got only part of a meal to eat. I am never going back to this store again. I will go to other Whataburger's but staying clear of this one at Tomball Parkway and Spring Cypress Road. Tired of complaining o this Store Manager, nothing gets done and problems continue to occur, I believe that this is a franchise Store. it is poorly run... Location is at per GOOGLE Maps.

I would like to have my $1 Dollar owed back to me, my time and trouble and some descent fries not crap small hard cold fries..

I can be reached at greg.[protected]@hp.com my office is just 1 mile from this Whataburger

Whataburger products and service

I went into location 9394 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75243 today. Ticket 510467. I order an Apple pie with my meal. Upon biting into it, I starting itching immediately. I realized at that moment it was lemon. I am highly allergic. I had to take an Epinephrine shot immediately. This is not the first time this has happened. Need resolve [protected]. Spoke with a manager who offered free food my next visit. I will never eat here again. I have too many bad experience there. Wrong food repeatedly, horrible, rude managers. Just too much going on at this location. My life could have been in jeopardy had I not had my Epi pen near me. This is unacceptable.

Whataburger poor customer service

Today, February 14, 2018 I went to Whataburger Store # 720 on Quaker Ave in Lubbock Texas. I went through the drive thru and ordered my lunch at 12:36 pm. There was a line all the way around the building when I was asked to pull around and wait for my food. At 1:02 pm I was late getting back to work from lunch so I went inside. They were carrying food out for cars behind me. I asked where my order was, they told me they were still waiting on my onion rings! It was 1:05 before I was able to get my food and I was seriously late to work. This is unacceptable! I understand being busy but, if they had some organizational skills, this would not have happened. I will NEVER go back to that store.

Whataburger incorrect order again!!

I'm a huge lover of All things Whataburger, however every time I visit store #717, they seem to consistently mess up my order. The receipt is accurate, but the order itself, is not. In this exact instance I asked for no onions due to an onion allergy. Oddly enough, the reciept was correct and there was even a "no onion" sticker on the outside, yet the patty melt was full of onions.

Whataburger service

I recently went to whataburger #204 on College st in Beaumont, Texas. I have completed a survey and I used my receipt to purchase a medium fry and medium drink and I received a free whataburger. When my receipt printed it had another survey on the bottom of the receipt. The cashier Asijana tore the survey off my receipt and threw it away so I could not do another survey if I chose to. What place is it of hers to decide who gets a survey and who doesn't. She also waited until my burger was done to throw away all the fries and make new ones and although I appreciate the hot fries she made me late for work and the hamburger was cold. If she was going to make new fries then she should have done that when I placed my order not when it was ready. If that is the service to expect and the type of employees whata burger employed then I will go elsewhere. There is Wendy's, McDonald's and Burger King all close by.

Whataburger disappointment in company values and standards

First of all I want to say as an employee of WAB on the First Coast area of Florida I LOVE my job. The inconsistency of acceptable standards and allowing the serving of substandard food is disappointing. "Our motto is to make 'em wait" in response to my inquiry of orders taking over 15 minutes to serve was shocking.

As a front counter guest services provider I feel it's being more than a bit disingenuous to ask our valued customers to submit customer satisfaction surveys while being served food fried in oil that looks like someone threw up in it. 'The last manager didn't do it so we're not doing it either' seems to be a recurring theme' in not correcting issues such as filtering and cleaning fry oils.

I'm using the filthy oil as only one example of promises not kept when hired. We are promised to be fitted with the tools resources support information and education to fulfill our duties as WAB employees.

A sense of urgency seems to be missing with some employees I've worked with. For me this position means protecting and elevating the WAB Brand. As an older American worker the very definition of providing quality food in a timely manner comes naturally.

Whataburger police officers discount not offered to firemen

Hello, first of I would like to say that Whataburger makes the best burgers and yes, they are awesome. My complaint is that I am a firefighter and have been for 25 years, as a fireman, we cook our own food at the firestation but occasionally we are way too busy and don't have time. When that happens we ALWAYS suggest Whataburger but here recently (and in the past) I have noticed that Whataburger openly give the police department a discount on the food. There have been times when we are there with the police and the police are only given the discount openly and it is not offered to the firemen. To me that is very disrespectful. Either give it to ALL first responders or not and I have noticed that the discount is given to all police members at all locations and to none at all locations to firemen. Please let me know what your policy is on this. Thank you, a very disappointed Fireman.

I agree. When I was working in a local Chinese Buffet. We would give police a discount. We also offered a Senior Citizen discount. A fireman friend of mine came in and I personally bought his food because the manager wouldn't ok his discount. I don't know what happened after that because he usually didn't eat there when I was working.

Whataburger wrong order six times in a row!

My children and i visit Whataburger in our hometown of Del Rio, Tx. We had never had so many problems with getting our order wrong, but here lately it has been HORRIBLE! I live about 8 miles from the one and only whataburger and it is very frustrating when you are so hungry and get home to a messed order! I see maybe a couple of times, BUT SIX TIMES? Today, I finally walked in and tossed the wrong order on the counter and explained the whole situation and ALL I received were two lemon pies, PIES? I was given someone else order, so I am sure they too complained. todays ticket number is 253680 which is the wrong order but was charge $16 something at the window. I AM SO VERY DISAPPOINTED with the service here lately. My neighbor too complained that the same thing has happened to them a couple of times. It's called being in a hurry and not being able to satisfy the customer. here is my number if you wish to talk [protected] Beki

Whataburger whataburger

I've been working for Whataburger for 2 years this last year has not been the worst year. I don't get paid on time, I cannot get my paycheck stub. Payroll and H&R act like they cannot help me every time I call and do nothing about the situation. They don't even try to resolve the issue but this is supposed to be a Whataburger family but it's the worst job I ever had. Every time I called them I never get help. They act like they care but they really don't.

Whataburger company policies concerning sick employees/supervisors working around food and customers

I'm an employee at the Whataburger located in Jacksonville, Fl., Store/Business Unit # 874. After reporting to work on the 21st of January 2018, i was sent home because i was wearing a mask to prevent myself from getting sick from other employees that were allowed to work and was sick. This is to also include a manager. I am a Diabetic and also have a rare form of Cancer known as Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, which causes my immune system to weaken or shut down if i become ill with something as simple as a cold; hence my reason for wearing a mask. So if i was sent home for wearing protective gear to prevent my getting sick and putting my health at risk; why were the other employee's and a manager allowed to stay and work around food, and put the public's health in jeopardy? My health issues are known to management. i feel that i have been discriminated against and have obtained legal council.

Whataburger bad

Employee (nana) just had a look she didn't want to be there. (Mean look) she was also really rude and acted like she didn't care about any of the customers. She needs to get fired ! I watched how she treated other customers ! She really needs a new job since it seems like she doesn't like her job at all. Nobody told her to get a customer service job. If you can't be nice get out !

Whataburger the wrong item with hair in it

I placed my order for a chorizo burger combo and a chorizo taquito combo. The Taquito was sausage and egg instead of chorizo and I also found a hair in it. I usually check my food before Ieave but this time I waited till I got home since it's a new store I dint think I had to. I called the store a few times to get this taken care of but the phone sounds busy so I don't have communication with them.

Whataburger not filling the order I requested and charged for items not ordered. overcharged

12/20/17 at 444 W. Little York, Houston, Texas 77076 (Restaurant [protected]), 11:05 am, order # 571426, I requested the following: #1 plain (meat and cheese) with a vanilla milkshake for my beverage, also a kids chicken finger meal with a Sprite. The cashier took my order and told me it would be extra for the milkshake, but did not disclose how much, or verify the size of the shake. I was then told $13.61. I questioned the order because I couldn't understand how a #1 at $3.69, plus a kids chicken finger, and an up charge for the shake could add up to more than $13! A gentleman came on the mike and reminded me I had to take into consideration the shake. When I drove around, I received a 32 oz shake, which I did not request, and I saw the #1 meal was billed at $6.29. I was charged .50 for cheese, which I did not ask for. Please see the attached receipt! According to my calculations, I should have bee charged a little over $10, not $13. I still got no clarity on the price. Since it was during lunch break and I had no time to debate the issue, I left. Now I am addressing the matter with corporate to view my receipt to verify the amount charged for my order was correct.

Whataburger management/ food took too long

The service was really bad, my family and I went out to eat and as soon as I walked in the door I heard a manager which voice sounded as a men with a blue stripes shirt screaming at their employees with a really bad, rude attitude and cursing them out. So when we finished ordering our family food I asked a lady named tabby? What was the managers name with the stripes blue shirt and she said "Richard" so while we were waiting on our food my husband and I were talking and all I could hear was his voice over every single costumer. The order took 12 minutes to come out, and all we order was burgers. I really did not enjoy my food well because of the way he was talking to everyone of his employees in a very rude way and cursing them out. I will never ever come here to eat with my family because this is a very ugly environment.
