My name is Yvonne and i totally agree with your comment. I just recently had a very aggravating experience with Carl's jr. myself, here in el centro CA located on adams ave and imperial 1498 Adams Ave. el centro Ca 92243 to be exact. Yesterday (9/9/2010 about 9:29 pm) evening after I got my payroll check from work I went straight to the bank to cash it, i requested the teller to give me nothing but $20 dollar bills went I cashed my check.

After a long day at work all i wanted to do was go to carl's jr. buy my family and I dinner so I can go home, eat and rest. Keeping In mind that Like I said I know for a fact That I had nothing Other than $20 dollar bills inside of my wallet!!! I placed an order at the drive thru cashiers name Priscilla; I ordered 5 piece chicken strips and an order of super nachos, My order came to a total of $9.71, When it came for me to pay the cashier, again as i said before I pulled out a $20.oo dollar bill to pay for my order, soon after the cashier gave me my change back i notice she only returned .29 cents back like if i had payed with a $10 dollar bill instead of A $20 DOLLAR. I automatically called this mistake to her attention and told her "excuse me but i gave you a $20 dollar bill and you only returned 29 cents back" with a confused look on her face she asked me "oh you gave me a twenty dollar bill? let me get my manager. I thought to myself "Hello don't you ever pay attention to the amount of money you are receiving from customers and what they pay you?!!"

This point she gets her manager (Jorge, which was a bigger moron than the cashier herself) the manager was counting her cashier register and he states that all the money in the cashier adds up with the amount in the register was even and equal to the amount that they been collected and that it was correct ( he stated that the computer had register a balance sale for the amount of $524. dollars and when he counted the money in cash he came up to an amount of $525. and some change. I Have been a manager of a dental office for a very long time AND I WORK WITH MONEY ALL THE TIME AND I NEVER CLOSE MY END OF DAY SHEET WITH MORE MONEY IN THE REGISTER THAN THE AMOUNT ON MY COMPUTER, SOMETIME I COME UP A COUPLE CENTS LESS OR EXACT MONEY but NEVER MORE, WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW THEY CAME UP WITH MORE CASH THAN WHAT THEY ARE REGISTERING ON THE COMPUTER HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? ARE THEY NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MONEY THEY RETURN TO CUSTOMERS HOW MANY PEOPLE BESIDES ME HAVE THEY RIPPED OFF?!!!

By this point I was so aggravated and smoking pissed off, I decided to cancel my order and I just wanted a refund for my money. I was so upset now not just because of the horrible customer service but by the justice not being found. I started doing the math on my head and I came up with the conclusion that the only way my $20 dollar bill magically dissapeared and made the cashier register balance correctly had to be that before I placed and order the incompetent cashier must have given a wrong amount of change back to another customer before me or forgot to charge for something and which automatically made her register $9.00 dollars short before I even got there, and when i placed my order and gave her my $20 dollar bill her register even out to balance.

They kept telling me that there was no proof that i had payed with a $20 dollar bill because if that was in fact true they would be exactly ten dollars over. I asked for my money back and they said they couldn't do that. By the end off the night I left carl's jr. unsatisfied, aggravated, with no food and no money whats so ever back. I been robbed $20 dollars and the only thing they said they could do is give me the upper management 1877- star number and hope that they resolve the problem for me. I called this number spoke to an operator explain to her the situation (teresa) and now I am waiting for them to call me back with a solution. My advise to other people is to completely avoid going to that carl's jr. seems to me that the employee's there have no idea what they are doing and the place is being run by a moron of a manager which has no idea how to manage a business or even offer customer satisfaction.

At 5:11:46, on 10/30/2009, I Ordered 2 Big Carl Burgers. One w/ Sourdough bread, because my father cannot consume seeds due to his diverticulitis. When I was watching the gentleman prepare the 2 burgers, which I had ordered (along with my 3 piece chicken strips and chili cheese fry), i noticed not only was he not wearing sanitation gloves (or any hand protection of any kind) but he had forgotten to put sourdough bread on my second Big Carl burger. When I mentioned what I had noticed to another male employee standing by the cash registers he seemed annoyed and told me that he was going to have the first gentleman remake my 2nd burger and put sourdough bread on it. The second gentleman threw my regular big carl sandwich in my bag, then threw my bag under the warmer, which knocked my chicken strips over and they spilled out of the box, laying directly on the warmer. at this point i felt disrespected. i then watched as the 1st male remaking my 2nd big carl w/ sourdough bread, still without any regard to safety/sanitation. he had to literally piece the meat together on the bun, it was in several pieces. he proceeded to piece together my fathers burger, wrapped it as normal. My chicken strips were picked up bare handedly off the warmer and thrown back into the box. no cautiousness to the food preparation/handling. that is how my dinner was served to me and my family at one of your establishments.

Today is 1-30-08, At 3:30 today I went threw the drive through at a fast food place by my house, When I was taking my food out of the bag I found an ear piece in my food.

Cashier was friendly, food was great, but...
for the second time in two visits and with only two people in front of me, I waited in line for 15 minutes because there was only ONE cashier. The manager was too busy to talk to me becuase she was "the only cook".
I really don't mind standing in line to place an order, but if the ONE cashier has difficult customers or a long line, she should ask for another cashier to avoid having the customers wait and wait just to place an order.
As much as I love the food here, I will soon take a small downgrade and go to BK rather than face the agrivation of standing in a short line where I have to wait a LONG time just to place my order.
Carl's Jr., PLEASE FIX THIS.
Thanks.
