Hess Hess trucks

I just spoke with Bob, one of your Hess Truck customer representatives, and received information that is contrary to your written website policy. A repeat call with Brittany yielded another bit of information that is contrary to your email notification of purchase that I received after my order was placed.

Yesterday (Sunday, 11/20/22), I placed an order for a Hess truck for my grandson. The information on the website said that I had a 2hr cancelation policy, which I completely understand.

Within a few minutes of placing the order, my son informed me that he had already ordered a Hess Truck for his son.

Shoot! Well, I’ll cancel, I thought. However, to my dismay, your customer service number to call with a cancellation was closed on Sunday. I had no opportunity to cancel within the two hours.

I called the customer service line today and was told by Bob that I could just return the truck and that postage would be included. However, your website states that there will be a 9.95$ shipping charge removed from my refund.

A repeat call to your customer service yielded another different response – I was told that I should have canceled by email, and that yes, I would be charged the 9.95$ shipping charge.

HOWEVER, the email confirmation I received after the order stays, “Orders cannot be canceled by email.” (underlined by you). I had ordered the truck as a Guest Checkout, and had no idea that the customer service department was not staffed on weekends, and now I could not cancel by phone OR by email.

So, what is it?! How can you require a 2hour cancelation window, and then provide no opportunity to cancel?!

There is a big disconnect between your website, your email order confirmation and your customer service.

I would like to return the Hess Truck and not be charged a 9.95$ postage fee.

I am anxious to hear your response.

Thank you

Georgianne Zigarowicz, order #[protected]

Desired outcome: I would like to return the Hess truck without a 9.95$ postage/restock fee.

Hess hess toy truck 2018

I purchased the 2018 Hess Toy Truck online at hesstoytruck.com, which is the only place that they are available. Unfortunately, someone else also purchased the truck for the same child. The box the truck arrived in was never opened.

When I inquired about returning the item, I was informed that $9.95 would be deducted from my refund. I complained about having to pay such a large sum of money to return the toy and I was told that the return shipping was free and that the $9.95 was a restocking fee. So I'm basically being charged to put a box on a shelf.

In Addition to that unscrupulous practice, I had to argue to have the return mailing label sent to me. The customer service representative kept insisting that the return shipping label must be printed even though I had no access to a printer. I was told to go the public library and she also asked if I had any friends or family with a printer.

It appears to me that Hess Toy Truck doesn't respect the fact that not everyone is fortunate enough to have access to office equipment and that they take advantage of their customers who may be unsatisfied with their products or, like me, ordered an item erroneously.

I would dissuade anyone from buying anything on hesstoytruck.com. I appreciate your assistance in rectifying this matter.

The same thing just happened to me at Hess #30526. I can't believe they are trying to rip the people off like this. If the pump did it, as they like to claim, they should have the common decency to reimburse the amount overcharged. I paid for $20 of gas on 9/5/2012 and was charged $75. What an outrage!

Hess I will never buy gas at that store again and I will share this truth with all that will listen

I drive a 2009 Honda Accord. empty tank capacity of 18.5 Gal. US. I stooped at the Hess gas station located at 700 US1 in Sebastian, Florida. with about a 1/4 tank to fill up. I pumped 19.031 Gal. US into the tank according to my receipt, when I asked to talk to the manager a young lady went into the back to speak with the manager. I could overhear their conversation and I was shocked at the managers attitude. She instructed the employee to tell me that the pumps were good just running slow. If that didn't work tell him that there is a tell number on the pumps that he can call. We are not going to put a sign on the pump. ( I had requested they close the pump instead of taking advantage of the consumer). The manager had no intention of viewing my car and my receipt, she was making a large profit and was happy with the result. If she had looked she would not have been able to deny knowledge of a problem with the pumps and taking advantage of the consumer.

I believe The Hess Station is privately owned and operated, I was that greed did not overcome honesty. When an individual refuses to speak with a consumer right there at their store and makes them go to government for satisfaction, it is a sad day. I will never buy gas at that store again and I will share this truth with all that will listen.

Hess Employees Safety

I wish Hess Corporation would investigate some of the orders managers/regional managers are handing the employees in Massachusetts or wherever else in New England. There is this new promotion that Hess has handed down to its stores that customers recieve a free water for purchasing items in the store. I learned from an employee who insisted on remaining anonymous for fear of being punished by the manager with cut hours or termination that from 3 to 7pm employees are told to stand outside handing out fliers for free water when an item in the store is purchased. These fliers are on the pumps and on the windows, so why have the employees stand outside in the cold? They are going to get sick with colds, the flu that's going around, could get frostbite, all sorts of issues arrive from this inane gimmick to get customers inside of the stores. Plus shouldn't the employees be provided some sort of reflectors so drivers can see them in the parking lot? Once the sun goes down the temperature drops to under 30 degrees F. This violates OSHA laws does it not? After hearing what I did from the first employee outside, I went inside and talked to another behind the register. This employee stated similar, that the manager threatens them with cut hours or termination if they do not stand outside or argue their rights or safety. This second employee is elderly and is at a higher risk of getting sick. This employee added that the regional manager was to blame for how the promotion was to be carried out. I believe the regional manager's name was Stacey however I am not completely positive since the employee quieted down after the manager had come out front.
This is disgusting risking employees health for a free 16 oz water. There are fliers on the pumps and stickers on the windows. That should be enough advertisement of a promotion.

After being a customer for years i have finally reached the point where i should be herd! inside the store you can see the fire extinguisher leaking--BY THE FOOD! when i asked to get a band-aid they returned with 2 two first aid kits and upon opening them bugs came out- and there were no band-aids. upon ordering food from the woman behind the counter the woman just continued to do what she was doing, then when she started to prepare the food she continued to talk at me in a very unpleasant tone as if i was disturbing her. Then, when trying to check out she seemed to not know what she was doing, making mistake after mistake. After about 15 minutes waiting for my food i finally got it. its was NOT satisfactory. Upon visiting their restrooms, both dirty by the way, i happen to see into their open fridge door and something that caught my eye was a hand full of boxes, all past expiration dates, by more than a few MONTHS! I mean seriously?!

Hess refusal to refund or exchange broken toy truck

I bought a Hess truck for Christmas from that gas station and found out that the truck did not work. When I went back to the gas station to exchange for another truck, the employee told me to go to the Old Bridge Hess gas station, which was about 7 miles away, because they take care of any returns or exchanges. Like an idiot I listened and drove to that gas station while there was a torrential downpour in the midst of rush hour traffic. The employee there was just as bad. He ask me to take the truck out of the box all the while with no intention of refunding or exchanging the product. Then he tells me that I should take the toy back to where I bought it because they don't take trucks from other gas stations. So I was fuming at this point and I drove back to the original gas station and demanded that I either get a refund or an exchange. Constantly, he kept saying to come back in the morning to speak to his manager and said that the manager will gladly refund or exchange the truck. While he was telling me this he was selling a Hess truck to another customer and there were boxes of these trucks sitting behind the counter. My wife was fuming while watching from our car that she came out and rip him a new one and demanded a refund or exchange. Now both of us are chewing him out because logic doesn't seem to sink into his thick skull. At this point he said he will call the manager(you mean he couldn't have done this from the beginning? Or it didn't have to escalate to this) Before calling he ask me to step out of the store into the torrential downpour that was getting worse and I said "no way!". Why do I have to step out just for him to make that unnecessary phone call?!?!? At this point I was beyond angry after trying to deal with someone that was dumber than dumb. Bottom line was that I was not going to leave until I either get a refund or exchange. Somehow, that idiot employee realize that I was not leaving and I was losing my cool that he exchanged my truck for a new one. This will be the last time I will ever buy a Hess truck after buying them for years. One word of advice for those whose wish to buy Hess trucks from a Hess gas station is to bring a small screwdriver and open the toy and test it while you are still at the gas station. This will save you the headache that I had to endure. Take it one step further and test the truck before paying them because once the cash is in their hands they will have no knowledge of your transaction.

Happy Holidays!

Hess Poor Customer Service

The attendant on duty- Sam according to my receipt- at this gas station was incompetent and abrasive. I was using a company Fleet card, entered the information in the pump, and got ready to fuel. I'm from NJ and don't have much experience pumping my own gas, and I couldn't figure out why the gas wasn't pumping, so I called him over for assistance. He figured out that the pump lever wasn't up, but instead of helping me pump, he canceled my transaction and brought the card into his kiosk to do the transaction from there. WHY WAS THAT NECESSARY? It was the first time I used the card, so I didn't realize, but we had a limit inside at the kiosks but not at the pump. SO when I went to pay it said transaction denied- exceeds limit. HE, in his limited English, started blaming ME, and threatened to call the cops. I called my boss, and she informed me that it was only valid at the pump, which I initially tried to do anyway, not to mention she said he should definitely know that. I tried to let him know why it wasn't working, but he refused to listen, and instead again threatened to call the cops, even though I said I would pay by credit card if the card didn't go through. AGAIN, WHY WAS THAT NECESSARY? Cops? I wasn't exactly threatening to get in my car and drive off without paying. I ended up paying with my credit card when the whole point of the company card was to avoid such transactions and reimbursements. The whole time he acted as if it was my fault, when all I wanted was a little help with the actual gas pumping, not the transaction itself. He had very poor manners and provided terrible customer service, and should not be working a job that involves service of any kind.

Hess Rude Manager

I am a business owner who frequently buys Hess Gift Cards for my customers and employees to use. I spend about $3000 a week on fuel and other items at Hess Gas Stations. I normally go to the Hess at Del Tura Blvd and N Tamiami Trail where the manager and employees have always been very nice to me. I happened to be at another location today and decided to stop at another Hess at Pondella Rd and N Tamiami Trl in Fort Myers Florida. I stood in line and waited my turn, three people behind me so I decided to get only 8 gift cards this morning. The manager Lisa leaned over the counter and started by saying, “You are paying cash, right?" I said yes madam. She looked behind me, slid the first card and then said, "Great, freaking unknown card again, I ate these cards. I wish they would freaking fix them." She slid the next card, she looks up once again and says, “Great, you couldn’t have picked a better freaking tie to do this, I'm all alone and these freaking cards take forever." I looked at her and stared in dismay for a brief moment. I then watched as she looked around again and then said, “Can you come back some other time?" I looked and said thank you but never mind, I will gladly go somewhere else and find a number to call your district representative. I left and drove several miles to the normal store I would go to and the manger there was more than happy to take my order. I explained what had happened and she directed me to call the corporate office and let them know what transpired. I do not wish to discontinue my Hess relationship; however, if this matter is not addressed I will tell my employees and customers to avoid that particular station in the future.

This is a common attitude at this location. The Hess on Pondella and Tamiami Trl North is always a disaster to deal with. Both the manager and employees are rude and dont care to yell, curse or tell you take your business else where.

As far as the person who commented on my complaint- I am also in a retail business, giving customer service. If I had a staff member like the 2 I ran into, you are right they would be spoken with. The deserve to be spoken with - & FYI I was in a GREAT mood when I walked in, which was not the case when I left. You see there are enough people who want & need Jobs out here that they shouldn't have to be exposed to those two staff members. I really feel that the Hess hiring process leaves a lot to be desired, or I should say the people doing the selection of the candidates chosen. I am saying this from experience !

If you really cared, as much as you say you do, you would have the capability for my leaving a complaint on the telephone !

I was @ your location 32450 in Greece NY. When I notified the large tall African American attendant that the rolls were cold, he told me the following, in a condescending tone with a scowl on his face, "it's got a short so how could it be hot, *** it's not working". Not even an I'm sorry !
Now if he knew that, it would make sense to put a sign on it- I would think.

For a new location I would say this is a real poor start & attitude ! Oh by the way the Hillshire farms sausage wasn't @ proper temp. either, as an FYI.

This is not the attitude I would expect to see- is costs to much to make a customer- convenience will not work for this location either. The other reason I will not stop there again is that the long haired male there also had A PERSONALITY THAT LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED. I asked if he had a microwave to heat the sausage & roll up & he looked at me & said- " why should we have one here"
The date of the visit was today 10/20/82012 @4:07:39 PM sequence #[protected] V.Christine- oops maybe the person was a female & not a guy- if so I apologize.

I think if all people who complain about rude employees should step back and check their attitudes before making complaints. I as a cs rep know first hand how people think just because you are in uniform and on the business clock that its perfectly ok to be rude and nasty to that employee. Well me on the other hand I am a firm believer " do unto others as they do unto you ". So heres the deal dont be nasty with someone if you dont want them being nasty to you, and definatly dont cause the problem and turn around and make a complaint and try to get someone fired over your stupidity.

Hess Rude Employee

I want to file a formal complaint against the employees (particularly a young late 20s early 30s employee with glasses) at the HESS gas station located at 207 Highland Ave, Needham Heights, MA 02494. This incident occurred on Monday, February 28, 2011 at approximately 12:45 PM.

Being from New Hampshire, I went to this station to attempt to purchase gasoline.

Upon using my DEBIT card, I was noticing the pump shutting off three times for reasons to which I did not know about.

One transaction charged me 8 cents for which NO gasoline entered my vehicle.

I was greeted by a very rude and obnoxious attendant who crassly informs me that my vehicle is facing the wrong direction and that he was shutting my gas pump off…creating multiple debit card transactions onto my account.

Upon turning my car around, now the gas pump is refusing my debit card due to the shutoff that this employee was doing.

This employee was extremely rude to me and created a hostile and intimidating experience which I have never received as a customer.

Going to this particular gas station for the very first time, I was so intimidated by this employee that I stated that I will NEVER buy ANYTHING from this Needhan Heights Hess station ever again. I purchased fuel from another competitor gas station instead.

In the meantime, I have three very questionable debit card transactions from this gas station.

I would like this employee terminated from his job. It is very obvious that he is incapable of being civil to the customers of this station, and that this experience tells me a lot about the people from Needham (and Boston).

I will never patronize this gas station ever again.

Hess very rude cashiers

when you come inside the store as you getting ready to walk up to the counter to buy lotto tickets and scratch-offs there are this young female cashier that wears glasses would always say what what what do you want with a straight face. I would respond holding my composure not to get upset from her rudeness. I ask i would like to buy some scratch-offs and a couple of quick picks. she said no i can not sale any more lotto scratch-offs. I said why it is just turning 9:00pm and this would make the third time i came inside this gas station around 9:00pm and could not buy any lotto. she responed saying the shift is changing now so no lotto for tonight here at this store. Then i ask what happen to 10:00pm was shut off time for lotto and scratch-offs. Then the other cashier responded saying it is only like this on weekends.I said that is not true because i have came on week days around 9;00pm and it is the same old things that goes on at that store. Im very unhappy with HESS GAS STATION... I hope a store MANAGER handle these problems.

Whenever the attendant shifts off (and closes end of day) is when the lotto will be closed. If they work until 10 pm, the lotto closes at 10. If they work until 9 pm, the lotto closes at 9.

Hess rude late night worker

dear sir / madam
I was in the store 42226 last nught 12-11-09 at 23:55:22. I Was there to pump some gas, so I said to my frend that I had to use the bathroom. I went inside and there where tow ladys drinking soda and buying somethig. I started to head to the bathroom and the casher said what are you doing? Using the bathroom I said, she said we are closed at midnight. I walked out to my car to check the time, and it was 23:56:40. The thing is that she did not let the ladys out untill after midnight, and also did not tell me to stop pumping gas in my tank. Is this the way to treat some one who is paying 2.759 a gal?
No I think not if she was closed she could have told me we are closed over the intercom. She also had no right to be rude.
Yours Eric Keese

For the last month this gas station has been posting one price on there sign then a higher price at the pump. The has been changing of the month so it's not like they don't have access to the sign. For example tonight the sign says gas is $3.47 but when you pull in the pump the price there is $3.53. The price at the pump is always $.06 higher then posted on the sign. Please look into this. I live in the neighborhood behind this gas station so I have been checking it regularly.

I work at hess and i can never get my check on time! this is the stupidest copmpany ever! do not work for them! I was supposed to get a check on friday Oct 1 I never recieved that check so I called the resource center and complained. The women said that it went out in the mail and there was nothing she could do about the lateness of said check and if i didnt recieve it by thursday i had to call them back and they would reissue the check and overnight it to me. Now my check is a week late, bills are over due and Im the one stuck paying for it. I still havnt recieved the overnighted check. I am beyond fed up with this company. Your employees show up on time and everyday they are supposed to work it is only fair that we get our checks on time!

Hess Don't buy gas there

Hess Gas Station at 184 Madison St & Green St in Worcester, MA has pumps (including Pump #4) that when authorizing the pump start at $0.04 not at ZERO. When I made the attendant aware of this she said to "End the Sale" and start again. When I asked if I would be charged, she responded "Of Course!" If every customer is overcharged by 4 cents time 30 cars per hour per pump would be $28.80/pump/day of overcharges. I've contacted the local authorities to audit their pumps and fine them if necessary. Don't buy gas there!

Hess Bees at pump

This gas station is swarmed with bees at every pumps. When I asked the employees for bee spray they didn't have any & didn't care. I had to get my kids out of the car & wait to get bees out of my car before being able to drive to another gas station down the road. I'm sorry but you shouldn't have to worry about getting stung by bees when going to the gas station and it's an obvious problem!

Hess Horrible employee and enviroment!!

My name is Michael Walker and I have been a customer of the Amerada Hess store # 9401, located on 9489 East Gulf to lake highway 44.I have been shopping at this same location for 20 years now, since the before it was even Hess, I have been a loyal customer since day 1 and I have always enjoyed going into the store up until recently.I have never ever had to write a complaint before but it has gotten to where I will no longer shop in that location again until something is done about this.On Sunday, December 7th about 6:40 am I pulled up to the gas pumps with a few of my friends.I was filling up my gas tank and went to throw something away and noticed that the garbage was so full that it was over flowing, there was no water to wash my windows in almost all of the garbage cans and the ones that had water either had no tool to wash the windows or the water looked so nasty that I wouldn't have touched it, then to top it off I went to get a paper towel and not one of atleast 14 garbage cans had not one paper towel in them.Now this is not the first time this has happend, nor is it the first time I have had to deal with the nasty emplyee Jennifer either.Me and my friends walked in the store to buy the other items we needed the cashier was so busy that I didn't want to bother her so I had saw the other employy Jennifer walk in a few moments ago so I went up to her and asked her if she could give me some information, It has gotten past the point of dealing with the store manager because she hasn't been doing anything with the situation for a while now and I know she knew.Jennfier would not give me any information and was totally rude and nasty which is not the first time.She never greets people, asks them how there day was, says "thankyou", she never even smiles, I don't think she knows how to smile.She never should around customers.I found out her name when I walked outside from a women who is having the same problems as me and said she knew people who had made complaints also and nothing is being done because is the women didn't tell me her name I wouldn't have known because she flat out said she wasn't going to give it to me and there is no name tag.I guess Hess would rather lose customers then take care of the situation.I have been going to this store for a very long time and would like to return as well as alot of other people I know but I won't shop there again until something is done about this situation.
