Wendy’s

Unfortunately this was the only Wendy’s next to me, and I was craving a Baconator, so I decided to get one from here. Big mistake.
The fries were soggy and cold. The burger was dry and thrown haphazardly onto the bun. The staff was friendly, but that was really the only redeeming thing at this Wendy’s.

Has it come to reviewing fast food joints? This is more of a public service announcement.
I wish I had the email that I wrote to Wendy’s about my visit here. Yes, I wrote a letter, I’m that guy. Alas, gone into cyberspace.
Anywho, it went a little something like this. I stopped on the way to the theatre, to grab a bite. There was no one in line, no one in the restaurant and maybe a couple of cars in the drive thru. The restaurant didn’t seem all that clean, there was a lot of detritus in the food prep area, but nothing overly repellent. That is until the cashier finally sauntered over after I’d been waiting a few minutes. Sauntered, no rush. You know that body odor smell? That’s not good when you’re ordering food. Personal hygiene wasn’t on the menu that night! I ordered. After a few more minutes of waiting and my perception of discord in the kitchen and general apathy toward accomplishing anything, I decided I just wanted to leave. The whole experience just left me with the uneasy feeling that I didn’t want to put anything from here into my mouth. I asked for my money back and left. So after roughly 10 minutes (with not another customer in the restaurant), I walked away empty-​handed. I did make the movie though!
Post script: The owner and/​or general manager, Dennis, sent me an email asking me to call him to talk about the issue. I called him, he told me the matter would be «dealt with.» Fantastic. I’m still never setting foot in there ever again. It was the kind of phone conversation where your Mom (Wendy’s Corporate) makes you (Dennis) apologize for something, but you really don’t actually apologize because you’re not sorry because he’s a stupid doo doo head.

This Wendy’s location is pretty convenient… right off of Independence Blvd. Really it’s always been there since I’ve been in Charlotte so it’s a great «pit stop» on the way home and you are craving some nuggets or a frosty. Honestly I haven’t really frequented this place as much as I used to (probably a good thing), but when I do… their service is fast and friendly.
