Wendy’s

We aren’t huge fast food eaters but the frosty is our little girl’s good behavior reward. This particular Wendy’s is one of the cleanest I’ve been in and the staff is really nice. Our cashier was Samuel R. and he was quite pleasant, quick and efficient.
They also have the new «my way coke machine» which is cool.
This particular location is on the opposite side of town from where I live but as clean as it is, it’d be worth the couple extra minutes drive.

I was out for about a 20 mile bike ride. When I returned and cleaned up, I decided that I wanted salad, since I hadn’t eaten all day. I’ve been eating Wendy’s Caesar Side Salad since the Value Menu was initiated.
Today, of course, I was exhausted and perhaps, I wasn’t very clear. I asked for 2 Caesar Side Salads and an iced tea. She asked me full or half size, which threw me since I didn’t know that there were full-​sized side salads. I replied «half» and it came to over $ 10.00, which seemed even more strange.
We finally came to agree on what I wanted, though by this time, I also had a headache to add to my meal. I’m glad that they didn’t charge extra for that.
They brought the dressing and the iced tea to the tray and I left slowly, which probably confused them. Perhaps, they thought that I was on drugs. I wish I had been.
I sat down to a reasonably clean table and opened a salad and the dressing. I squeezed about half of the dressing onto the top of the salad and started to eat. Two things really stands out – they removed the bacon and added grape tomatoes to the Caesar Side Salad. Besides that, they have the hardest grape tomatoes I’ve ever eaten. They must have been picked white instead of green.
Speaking of green, I noticed that my napkin had turned green, as if the lettuce was spray painted with color. (After I went home to brush my teeth – lettuce in the teeth looks so great – I noticed the green in the sink also.) In any case, it seemed very strange. Perhaps, my exhaustion – I should have taken photos.
I was glad to see people at two separate times taking care of the dining room, here and there. It almost seemed as though they cared.

I have a weird relationship with Wendy’s. As a young little tyke of 15, Wendy’s was my first real job. I enjoyed working there, but grew to really dislike the food because I was constantly around it. Now I’m over 30 and still look at their food and think to myself «I’m not sure I want to eat this. I know how this was made.»
However, this is a popular spot with my friends who want to grab a quick lunch, so I find myself here pretty often. This particular Wendy’s has pretty great customer service. There is also someone always out cleaning the dining room or sweeping the parking lot, so the cleanliness is pretty great as well.
Another thing they excel at is that they ALWAYS get my order right in the drive-​thru. That’s a rare feat in today’s fast food world.
