      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.

      On December 29th, 2021, I placed an order on Jack in the Box's mobile app for pickup at a location in ********, ********* on ***************. The total cost of my order was $19.59 and my debit card was charged. When I arrived at the restaurant to pick up my order, I was told by the staff that they were in the process of closing and that they were out of stock of one of my items anyway. They asked me to cancel my order which I agreed to.S***e then, I have tried to contact ****-in-the-Box *** several times in an attempt to get my refund. They make it extremely difficult to do so. They have an online forum where you can fill out a survey or issue a complaint, and there is a place to write if you would like to be contacted by a representative. Of course, it is very unclear as to whether a survey or online complaint box is being checked frequently, if at all. There is no easily accessible number or email that I could find in order to speak directly with a company representative. Importantly, the restaurant itself does not issue refunds as the order was placed through the corporate mobile app.I sent in 4 different surveys/complaints to ****-in-the-box before I was ever contacted. When I was contacted, I was told to call a number during very limited business hours and that they would help me resolve my issue. When I set aside time during my work day to call that number during their business hours, I was told via recording that their office was not open. The answering machine gave no indication as to when their office would be open.At the very least, I would like a refund. Ideally, the company would make changes to their mobile order system so that it is easier to speak with company representatives, whether that be through phone or email, when things like this happen.

      On 12/22/21 at 11:14am I placed an order for food delivery through the Jack in the Box app. The order number is: ****** for $20.53. They set a delivery time for 12:00pm on 12/22/21 to be delivered by Postmates from the restaurant located on ********* in **********. I received a phone call from the Postmates driver stating that he was at the restaurant attempting to pick up my order but the restaurant was telling him that they didnt receive the order from the app. He also stated that this was the third time in the last few days that this restaurant had this problem. I unfortunately never received my order and I was charged for it on my debit card account ending in ****. I have been trying to call both the restaurant and the corporate office guest relations every day since the 22nd of December and the restaurant has a message that says their mail box is full and the corporate number continually says that their offices are closed. Additionally I lodged a complaint with the Jack in the Box site HEYJACKBOX.COM and have never got a reply. I dont appreciate getting ripped off by a company.

      On January 21st 2021 I downloaded the Jack In The Box mobile app and placed an order. At the drive thru, the store had not received my order and we verified that I had the correct store *********************************, and at the correct time. I told them to never mind since the app didn't work and I went home. My card was charged for the order anyway. I attempted to search online for a number to call but there were none listed. The website had feedback for the store only and no way to find resolution to a charge for food that could not be served due to their error. The store number listed gave a message that the cellular number was no longer in service, so a disconnected cell phone. I filed a dispute with my bank and there was a number listed there that I called, it turned out to be for a store in ******, however the manager was able to provide me with the corporate office number. I called that number at different hours throughout the day and the *** selection for customer service simply informed me that their office was currently closed. No hours provided, so ostensibly they are indefinitely closed, and I tried calling multiple times of day. My complaint is that there is no resolution or accountability. I'm not sure if they are violating terms to collect credit and debit card without any recourse for incorrect charges. Or if it's considered acceptable to the BBB for a company to not have any ability for a customer to contact them but my complaint is exactly that, that they are not contactable by customers. The issue of the charge is being handled by my bank and might take months, and again, I'm not asking for resolution on that issue as my bank is handling the charge, my issue is that they are not contactable by any means and I would like to know if that is acceptable by BBB policy, and if not I would like them to fix this issue.

      I placed an online order with my local Jack in the Box. My order was incorrect. My attempt to contact the restaurant via telephone was met by an automated voice infirming me that the phone number wasn't in service. This being the case, I filed my complaint on-line. This was 01/03/22, the date of my original incorrect order. I was assured I would be contacted by someone with Jack in the Box. 2 days later and still no contact. Furthermore, there isn't a Jack in the Box close to me. This was location is the nearest (3+ miles away), and I had other business in the area, so I chose to get a meal from Jack in the Box.
