Wendy’s

A charismatic employee on my last visit serenaded us via the drive through and this time he had good/​bad jokes… And they serve food. ⁵⁄₅

Ohhh, Wendy’s. This location has had its issues in the past, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and said it had some off days. Yesterday’s experience made me pretty much done with it.
Harvest was swamped and there weren’t any parking spots, so we went with the easiest, quickest choice in the near vicinity — Wendy’s. We decided to get the food to-​go and go eat it at the nearby Park of Roses.
I ordered medium chicken nuggets with fries and a baked potato on the side. I’ve been in this location by myself before with no issue, and been helped by the guy who helped us on this occasion multiple times. Before, he seemed friendly and sweet. On this day, my boyfriend was with me, which apparently meant he could make comments degrading women. I placed my order, and he said «Baked potato replacing the fries?» and I said «No, in addition to!» a little sheepishly, because I really didn’t NEED the baked potato in addition to the fries. He said, «Are you sure?! I have 2 of them at home, and they’re ALWAYS changing their minds!» It took me a second to realize that he was talking about women, making some sort of dig about how women are indecisive. I feel like my boyfriend and I are probably the last 2 people to make that kind of comment to, and it didn’t go over well.
I went into the restroom, and the whole floor was slippery and wet. I’m not sure what it was wet with, and I really don’t want to know. It felt super grimy. When I left the restroom, I noticed the floor of the whole restaurant was pretty wet. I saw a kid fall on the wet floor, which seems like a huge liability to me. I also saw a couple ask for someone to clean off the tables, because they were all dirty.
Mercifully, we left. When we ate the food, it wasn’t great. The chicken nuggets were fine. The fries were severely undersalted and burned (I don’t know if, in my nearly 25 years of life, I’ve ever had burned french fries from a restaurant. You’re sticking them in the fryer and there’s a timer, how does that even happen?!) The baked potato didn’t come with the sour cream, butter, or a fork, meaning I couldn’t really eat it.
Bah. Over this location. I’ll go to another nearby (or hey, maybe I’ll stop eating fast food, that’s probably the real solution here!)

Wendy’s is my favorite fast food restaurant. However today’s visit reminded me while I only go to fast food maybe once every two months. I can remember the days when the Junior bacon cheeseburger was only $.99 …man that was so long ago (not …8 years) now it’s a $ 1.69. I skip the jr bacon cheeseburger now in protest, haha.
But that’s ok because the value fries are still 99 cents right? Wrong they made them soooo smaller. I am posting a picture show you how much I got. It’s not worth $.99 or even a trip to Wendy’s at all. I tried to leave feedback on
and surprise surprise, my receipt’s store number was too short. Wendy’s should be ashamed of selling a product that gives you 15 french fries.

I have gone here like 5 times and every time they got some part if not all of my order wrong. For example I got a pretzel burger and they gave it to me without the pretzel bun! Then today I went though and just got a drink. I ordered a iced sweet strawberry tea. Key works here are ICE and SWEET. My drink was warm no ice at all and not even a bit sweet. I will not be coming back to this place there is another Wendy’s just a mile or two north and it is much better, I would suggest going here instead.

I’m not much for fast food in general, but I do love Wendy’s chili (which has a surprisingly healthy nutritional makeup, BTW). This is my neighborhood location, and I have to say that I’ve been impressed by the service here. Very friendly and competent (by fast food standards).

Just a few sides to go along with dinner
Chili and a Caesar side salad. Always excellent!

I like Wendy’s. I like it a lot, actually.
This one, however, is a different story. Since I moved into the immediate area, I’ve dubbed this as the worst Wendy’s ever.
Maybe it’s just my experience, but I can’t recall a single trip here where I’ve had good service and good food.
If you go during lunch, and there’s a line expect to be crowded while waiting for your food and your order will probably be wrong
If you go between meal times, expect your burger to taste like it was just pulled out of a pot of luke-​warm water.
If you go through the drive through at night, expect to be cut off «Hi, I’d like a five piece spicy nuggets… and a…» «Ok, that’s 99 cents pull around» «Uhhh…I’m still ordering.» «Oh, are you still ordering?»
Two stars because at least the restaurant is usually clean.
One day I’m going to learn to be patient and drive a few minutes to a different location.
