Frustrated

I made a purchase on the KFC online app on the 22/07/2021. Made the payment and order was accepted for the Ballito branch. Received the notification on the app to pick up my order by 18:30. I drove all the way to Ballito from Stanger. Reached there at 17:30 only to find the store closed. Called the customer care on Friday 23/07/2021 to lodge a complaint. Was assisted by a lovely lady Luka who promised to escalate and follow up. I received a call later that afternoon from another customer care agent to inform me that the store will follow up. I received a call form the Branch on Saturday to say i should call at the store to pick up my order. I informed the lady Yolanda that i was not from Ballito and requested a refund. She asked for banking details which i provided. She informed me that the refund will be processed. No further contact. I call in on the 28/07/2021 to follow up since i did not receive the refund, only to be told that i need to call in personally at the store with my bank statement . I informed her again that I am not from Ballito and will contact Customer care for asssitance. I asked her why i was not informed of this prior to my calling in. She informed me that she was on leave. I call customer care today 29/07/2021 . Spoke to Ntombi who will now follow up on my query. How frustrating is this that an online order is taken for the branch when they have been closed for a few days prior whereas the other branches had their stores closed off on the app. This was a total inconvenience and to further inconvenience no refund or process of feedback to date.

Reviewer Update
Following from from previous review: I have followed up on my refund and spoke to 3 different consultants: Amanda, Ashley, Luka - all have promised to call/email the manager from the store as well as the area manager but to date i have not received any feedback . I called in once again today and spoke to Lebo who informed me that that the feedback on the system states "called the customer and resolved the issue and refund was processed" All lies. No call or refund was done. Totally frustrated with the *********** and unprofessional behaviour of KFC - not only the Ballito mall branch but also customer care for not following through on providing feedback
