I went to the Royal Farms gas station located at *********************************************. I went inside to self checkout and paid $40 for gas on pump #3 at 12:23pm. I took my receipt and proceeded to the gas pump, once I started pumping my gas the Shift supervisor ****, came out and told me that they stopped the pump at $12 because another customer came in and claimed he prepaid $40 on the same pump, she was very rude when she came to me, once I showed her my receipt she saw that they had made a mistake. She refused to put the remaining amount back on the pump and told me that the remaining amount will be back on my card in 24 to 48 hours, she also threatened to call the cops on me, I am very displeased with the way I was treated and with the customer service I received.Initial Complaint

My son entered an incorrect pin number multiple times while attempting to use my rewards card, and as a result I am unable to use my card. I have contacted customer service which is automated, with no success, spoken with a store employee, who told me to simply open a new account, also non-productive, as my original account is still active. My wife even wrote to the corporate office and received no response. I simply wish to be able to use my card again, so that I can get a discount on my fuel.Initial Complaint

Attached is a copy of the credit card statement showing the gas purchase at Royal Farms. Thank youained the contaminated fuel. ******* invoice also attached. We reached out to Royal Farms requesting reimbursement for repairs, vehicle rentals and other associated costs. They refused as their fuel ***** claims this was not a result of contaminated fuel. We are confident it was since the water in fuel light popped up while fueling at Royal Farms and stalled immediately as we were leaving the premises. We had driven from ********* to ************ with no issues and also had no prior mechanical ssues with the truck prior to our fueling up at Royal Farms. Both automotive shops agreed that it was due to contaminated fuel. We continue to have issues with rough starts and recently returned to M&L. We were advised by individuals familiar with fuel contamination and informed it can cause engine, alternator and battery issues. I advsied Royal Farms I would take further action since they refused to take responsibility and reimburse us but received no response.Business Response

How can Royal Farms say that the claim is resolved, when I have had absolutely no contact with Royal Farms? I have not had a phone call, text or e-mail from Royal Farms. I want to obtain my earned ROFO Rewards points from my purchase on 12/3/2024. Royal Farms tries their best to cheat their customers out of ************************ points and they have one of the worst customer service departments (they just ignore you and hope that you will just give up). I want a customer service manager to contact me by phone, text or e-mail ASAP!Business Response

I am COMPLETELY dissatisfied with BBB of MD AND Royal Farms! I have not had ANY CONTACT from Royal Farms AT ALL. I requested a phone call and contact information with a customer service manager from ********************** AND NEVER received that information. Royal Farms has not communicated with me EVER. How can BBB of MD close this complaint when it has NOT BEEN RESOLVED? BBB of MD has been very useless to me, with this matter and I am not satisfied, with the outcome. I want the name AND contact phone number for a customer service manager at **********************, so I can resolve this matter myself. I have been a loyal customer at ********************** and their customer service SUCKS! ********************** has the worst customer service department that I have dealt with; second only to BBB of MD (but at least with BBB I had a contact person and phone number).....not that ******* was of any help! Please forward the contact info to me as soon as possible.

Finally! I was awarded my ROFO points today. I still did not receive a contact person name at Royal Farms AND a contact phone number, in case this happens again. Royal Farms has one of the worst customer service departments that I have dealt with and they need to make HUGE improvements with their customer service response system!Customer Answer

I still did not receive the contact information that I requested. I asked for a contact person's name and phone number at Royal Farm's customer service department, in case that I have another problem with Royal Farms. I DO NOT APPRECIATE the BBB of MD soliciting a donation from me! Please forward the contact information that I requested. I do not know how many different ways I can ask for this contact information.Initial Complaint

On Sunday, January 26th, I visited the ********************************************************, location. While getting gas I was offered a 30 cent discount on gas if I bought a car wash. I decided to buy a car was as I needed one that day. After my purchase and use of gas I drove to the car wash and noted that it was closed.I went inside the store and asked the employee for a refund on the car wash. I stated it was okay to remove the gas discount I received, but I could not use the car wash so the service could not be provided.I was informed the store cannot provide me with a refund. I in no way blame the employees on hand as they were pointing to company policy. I was informed that (1) I received the gas discount and (2) I have 365 days to use the car wash so no refund would be *********** is quite clear that Royal Farms has this policy in place in hopes that customers forget or lose their car wash coupons and they get to benefit from the purchase of a service that is never used. I am fine with customers having the option to use the coupon for 365 days, but there should also be an option for a customer to be fully refund (less the gas discount) for a service offered but then not provided. This is a clear false advertisement of a service that could not be utilized. This is not the first (or second or third) time I have been to a Royal Farms with a broken car wash so I am sure this is a very common occurrence and people eventually lose the money they spent because they lose the coupon or forgot. Or it is just inconvenient to get to a Royal Farms for some ************** request is that the Corporation explain this policy and its legality. In all my dealings with massive companies if you cannot receive a product or a service then a refund option is provided to the customer. I would hope and expect ******************** Policy changes as this is clearly a way to take advantage of customers that are unaware of broken car washes at the time of purchase.Initial Complaint

This complaint never should have been closed as Royal Farms corporate office made contact with me saying she was going to look into the matter, which she never got back to me to date. If the BBB closed it, then BBB made a mistake. Please open the complaint again. Thank you.***. I was told if its fraud as I say, fax them info at ************** Claim # LE2313529 which I did. They charge me $40.00 dollars for payment that did not go thought totaling $120.00 in fines which if this isn't settled and will have a judge make a decision. My credit score is 820, that should say something. I have no problem paying charges of mine but do have an issue with Checkredi, Royal Farms collection Agency taking advantage. Royal Farms has no contact info for the customer or ignores any response after filing their web site contact. I hope I'm helping other consumers with this BBB filing.Business Response

Hi ******,
I would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by this issue. I'm actively investigating your case regarding the $120.00 in fines. As soon as I have an update, I will follow up with you.
I have reached out to our support with all the information provided as well. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.Business Response

Hi ******,
Apologies for the delay here again. I was waiting for a few updates from my team. Unfortunately, we aren't able to assist any further since your account is was on hold due to a return from your bank. I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
Anytime a return happens on an account, the charge is sent to a collection agency who will charge a fee. Royal Farms does not profit from this fee, nor do we have any say on when it is charged. Unfortunately we are not able to assist with this situation.
Once the charge is taken care of, their account will be released, and you will be able to use your account again!Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: It is Royal Farms responsibility to answer comments or questions I repeated sent on Royal Farms website about my bank account changes that were needed due to the computer hacker theft and fraud he committed on my *************** checking account to a sum of $3,500.00 dollars the entity from which you receive payment. It is not a customer's responsibility to know answers that were posed Royal Farms home page/web site as they don't work nor employed at your company so again, look at it from a customer's point of view. I have never been late on payments; my credit score is approx. 820 but it is Royal Farms responsibility to answer any questions a customer has, after all it is ********************** web page.
