Hardee's Restaurants firing

Well my Husband was employed at this hardees Since feburary until November 09. He has been asking for a schedule change due to transportation issues. He has been written up once that he signed for and had a verbal warning, however still no schedule change. On November 5, 2009 The manager Chanel crossed his name off the schedule, and did not notify him of the changes. He had to find out through word of mouth. He called to see what was going on, and thats when she told him that he has been fired. He called the district manager ( which is her friend) and requested a hearing because he felt it was un fair. The district manager told him that they can fire when ever they want, and that he could not get a copy of the write. Im writing this statement today to seek advice on what to do with this situation please help me.!

Hardee's Restaurants people handling food

The early morning shift doesn't wear gloves while handling food. If you ask them to put gloves on, they will comply, but shouldn't they wear them at all times if they are handling food?

Yes you are right to expect these food service employees to wear gloves when handling your food.they also should be wearing hair-nets! nothing worse than seeing someone with long figure nails real or artificial, handling food, you know there's all kinds of crud underneath those nails!
its a health issues that you can report to the manager or dehec.

Hardee's Restaurants overcharged

This has happened twice so far. When you order a combo it includes a small drink and side order plus tax. The employee then rings everything up separately and then its ?.59 . If you didn't catch the combo price you pay for the food and walk away. Heres the catch. Everything separately is more than the combo price and then plus tax on there it gets pretty expensive . Ever wonder why every receipt that you get everything is itemized on there. If you look closer sometimes its a few cents but the last time I was there it was .50 Cents for the combo more than the posted price. Breakfast burrito small coffee and hash rounds 3.99. It was rung up separately and came to 4.49 Plus tax which came to a total of 4.81. What happened to 3.99 Combo.

I contacted the Hardees corporate line and they will check due to its a franchise and not a privately owned .. Oh really I bet they will check. Next time are you getting more for your buck, or are they!

Good Morning Sir

I visited Hardees Egypt Manshet el bakry helioplies on 21/11/2020, I ordered chicken salad take away and when I go and I did not open the box as it was sealed with a sticker on the side and I saw that it is not fresh from the transparent cover so I moved immediately to the store to return it.
but the waiter told me that he will not return it back as I opened it and said that there should be cheese on the top and he is sure that I opened the box and took the cheese before returning it back to the shop which was not the truth. I told him how could I open the box though the sealed sticker on the box is not broken. he replied that he is sure that he added cheese and he will not return the salad pretending that I am a liar.
I shouted at him but what really annoyed me is that he threw the salad box towards my face which is not acceptable attitude from such a multinational chain staff.
I asked for the store manger he said that he is there and when I shouted at him with a loud voice the manager came back and refunded my money back.
actually I was really very disappointed for the very rude treatment I had a very bad experience that I will never come back to ur shops
Several negative points :
1- No change to pay in cash and get back my change so I had to pay in credit card as the waiter told me that she has no change 2 EGP and seems to keep them.
2- unacceptable treatment.
3- staff has to take training courses on customer service skills and body language.
4- I called call center complain center and no feedback received from them to date

Hardee's Restaurants e. innes st. salisbury nc

I go to Hardees about 3 times a week for breakfast, the same Hardees. I always order about the same thing. I get a sauage Texas Toast and a Breakfast Frisco Sand. no egg. This morning I ordered Sauage Texas Toast and a Breakfast Frisco Sand. no egg add bacon. I got back to work and had a Breakfast Frisco Sand. with bacon but they had also put the egg on it. I also had a ham Texas Toast. I tried to call back to the store but they would not answer the phone, so I went back. The cook said she had made the order correctly that she remembered it. The manager on duty came out and got my sandwiches and my reciept. They opened up the sandwiches and looked at what was on the sandwiches like I was lieing, determined that they had been made incorrectly and made me some more. Never apoligizing for me having to come back or not believing me. I will not go back to this Hardees.

1. You went to the most disgusting fast food place. 2. What do you expect from Hardees? 3. You should have checked it when you go it, that's common sense. You're an idiot and you need to start eating breakfast at home, it's cheaper.

I've been to Dr. Washko for many, many years and I can promise you this l woman brought this on herself. Dr. Washko and his staff are honest, hard-working people. I myself work for a doctor's office and have had numerous times where a patient decides to not listen to what I am saying, as it appears to be the case here, and believe themselves to have the correct information rather than listening. I'm sorry you went through a difficult experience but you brought it on yourself.

Hardee's Restaurants attitude of mgr. on duty

I went to this Hardees on 6-24-09 at 9:14 p.m. As chilidogs were on special 2 for $3.00, I ordered 6 chili dogs. I explained that I would like to have 4 without chili and two with extra chili. The young man on the register was called off by the black female manager with light colored hair and she took over my order. She charged me 30 center twice for the two chilidogs with extra chili. I explaind that I was getting 4 chilidogs WITHOUT chili and should not be charged extra for the two with extra chili.
She explained that the company required that she charge me extra for the two with extra chili even though I was getting 4 without chili. I told her that surely she jest. She assured me that was the company rules and that was what she was going to do. I cancelled my order. I had two others waiting for the chili dogs and at 9:14 p.m. there were not a lot of other choices of places to purchase chili dogs in that area. I have been buying all kinds of biscuits and angus burgers from this location for a year and a half. I have been a Hardee's customer for 40 years as I am originally from N.C. where you had your first stores.
I asked for the information on how to reach the district office and the manager's name. She wanted to know why and I informed her I was going to file a complaint. She went to the back, made a phone call and came back to give me her boss' name and phone number and told me to just go ahead and call her boss. I told her I would go higher than that.
I reordered 6 chili dogs with the chili on the side in a small cup and thus solved the problem. Other customers that were sitting and waiting for thick burgers looked at me and just shook their heads at the attitude of the manager. I paid using the balance on my $20 gift card I had purchased a few days before and paid the balance in cash.
I find it hard to believe that someone in management would not have better customer skills and more common sense. While I enjoy the Hardee's products, I will not return to this particular store when this manager may be on duty. I will continue to purchase morning biscuits etc. but will not take a chance in running into this employee again. The young man that had been on the register when I first started and was pulled off, came outside and apologized to me. I assured him that my interaction with him had been great but his manager left a lot to be desired. He was a nice young man.

Hardee's Restaurants handling of food

On 6/27/2009, at about 10:00 A.M., we went to Hardee's for breakfast, we ordered Texas Toast, with egg and sausage and another Texas Toast with egg and ham. We watched the person that prepares the food, she didn't use tongs to pick up egg or the meat, she used her bare hands, dropped it on the counter where she prepares the food, and pick it up with her bare hands again to put it on the toast, which is unproper, we compained and the manager told her to use tongs, then she had a terrible attitude throwing egg and meat on the toast which then the toast was tearing apart, and threw the sandwich on the warmer. We were very unhappy on the service. We would never go back with those hillibillies doesn't know what to expect. The manager should be watching over the employees and make sure they are using proper utentils. Other states, employees must wear plastic gloves while handling food.

Hardee's Restaurants milk shake quality and quantity

I went to hardees with my kids on 6-7-09 and we found plastic in our milk shakes.. Not just a little plastic, but alot of long pieces of plastic.. The backon chedder burgers were old, dry, and didn't have but maybe a spits worth of chedder.. The bacon was a tooth braking joke.. Anyway I called to complain and they offered to replace the order.. No problem, great, thanks.
I just went to another hardees in town and ordered a ham and cheese combo with a milk shake.. I asked her to go easy on the chocolate, and she did.. But I only got a little more than half a shake.. I went back thrue the drive thrue to ask why, and she said they're pre-measured and wouldn't do anything more than say sorry.. I took a pic of the shake and would like to ask you.. If you went to the dentist and paid an un godley ammount to have a tooth filled, would you be upset if they only filled a little more than half your tooth.. And when your still in pain, and ask why didn't they fill the whole tooth, they look at you and say the filling is pre-measured, i'm sorry, there's nothing we can do.. Maybe, just maybe one of your genius employees don't know how to measure, or it was to the end if the ice cream bucket and was too lazy to open a new bucket to top off the ice cream cup.. But i'm sure that wasn't it, because every hardees employee is completley honest and 100% accurate, right... Maybe I am wrong to want a full milk shake without plastic in it for the hard working $3-$4 dollars we paid for it.. I don't think I am asking too much at all.. Thank you for reading this..

Hardee's Restaurants pig toys

Dear Hardees staff, it is my pleasure to send my thanks for the good quality of the snacks and sandwiches and good customer services that your restaurant is providing. your good product and services have been reflected yesterday (9/6/2009) when my wife contacted the Hardees branch at my city at almost 5:00 pm and has requested 4 kind meal and one SANTAFEE meal which have been deliver to my house in quite short time. However, after we opened the kid’s meals we found two of the four kid’s meals have been delivered along with two pig toys. As you know, in our culture as Muslims pig is not a preferred animal and its meet is not eatable, because it is islamically band to even utilize any derivative of this animal meet, nerves, fat, blood and so on.
dear Hardees, I believe that your quality standards is very customer oriented to take care of such issues that my affect the loyalty of the customer to your restaurant which is highly important for you business success at our city. Also I don’t want this type toys to be a reference some people to distort you restaurant reputation.
Thank you reading my comment and i wish all success for your restaurant.
I am attaching the photos of the pigs in the mail.
Sincerely yours

Khalid

Hardee's Restaurants kid meal incomplete

I paid full price for the experience and joy my kids would get from opening their gifts that are included with every Hardees kids meal . After waiting in the blistering sun at the drive thru in 43 digree heat we returned home only to find out that we had been scammed there were no gifts although on their site and on the bill it clearly states * Free Gift With Every Kids Meal (check out the middle east providers site).
I called their hotline and the restaurant; both with the expectation of a simple apology and we will bring your toys right over -kind of thing only to be greeted by the angry staff telling me that they were out of toys . I was shocked that at the time of purchase they did not inform me that there were no toys and that even though they had the toys at their other branches they were not prepared to bring them over instead they kept on harassing me on the phone concerning my complaint and sent a guy to my house to take the food out of our mouths because in-order to have refund you see -- it is their policy to take other people’s untouched food and pass them on to someone else ?

I am doubly shocked by their health standards – considering the heat the food can get contaminated and if they were insisting on taking it back untouched where is the guarantee that they wont give my rotten food to someone else. as far as I know it is a policy in Kuwait that food that is not accepted or returned by the costumer must be thrown away and is never returned to the restaurant to avoid contamination. -

My question is were is the americana quality statement ? and what wrong with the angry managers and staff - Only i the costumer who has been scammed has the right to be anrgy after all you try explaining to you toddlers that there was no gift this time around.

time of purchase 2:12PM at
Qurain supermarket 3 - the TRANS #4035

The hardees commercial of the harlot dressed in a slezy dress, setting on steps with her legs apart, her breast showing and eating a burger like a man is the trampiest commercial I have ever seen. It is pretty
Bad when you have to use sex to sell hamburgers, we will chose

Hardees...lets show some class and quit splashing sex all over family time TV. I'm careful with what I choose to watch and am not at all impressed when you force feed my family crap like this. Here's a thought, try selling your food for its quality and your service, not by sex and porn. I'm so done and will not be darkening your doors...

My husband and myself were appalled at the Padma commercial shown on a prime time baseball game. The lady in the commercial demonstrated behavior that should have nothing to do with eating a hamburger. It appeared to belong on late night or adult only shows. Please consider the influence that this type of commercial has on our young men and women and the disgust it promotes in senior citizens. Your are no doubt decreasing your business with this type of commercial.

Last night on 2/28/2012 while watching a family show called "American Idol" a commercial was aired from Hardees that was advertising a new thick-burger sandwich. The commercial was unaccepted to viewers especially to the young viewers. The commercial was advertising sex not a sandwich and fox59 should have know better. The woman on the commercial was showing off her boobs.

Hardee's Restaurants food quality

On monday, may 18, 2009 at approximately 11:00 a. M. , my husband, my aunt, my cousin and I ordered lunch at the hardee's red burrito restaurant in union, mo. My cousin and I ordered the nachos grande. The overall plate looked like something they had left over from the day before and was bearly warm. The chips were soggy and nothing tasted fresh. My husband ordered the fish supreme combo. You could hardly get by the smell of the fish it was so strong. His fish and fries looked and tasted like they were cooked in old grease. My aunt and I also had an order of onion rings. They were overcooked so badly there wasn't any onion left in the batter and they also looked and tasted like they had been fried in old grease.

We have a hardee's in rolla that I have visited several times and was never disappointed in the quality of the food I received.

Three of us filled out a comment card at the restaurant, but you are never sure if your comments get forwarded to the right person, so that is why I am stating my complaint here also.

Someone really should look into the operation of this particular hardee's restaurant.

Hardee's Restaurants opening time

Store is supposed to open at 5:30 each morning. If the regional manager is there, it does. The only problem is, she"s only there a few days a month. The attitude of the employees when she isn"t there is, we"ll open when we want! This has been going on for quite a long time now and i know from personnel experience that you have lost numerous customers. We have complained about this problem many times before and you seem to disregard our complaints. It is time for this situation to be resolved, maybe by firing the crew who is now there or by ensuring that a manager is there all the time.

Thank you,
Charles ruff

On Friday May 8, 2009 I stopped in hardees to get breakfast for Mother's day . I did not get all my order, but did not realize it until I got to my Mothers home. We tried to continued to eat what we had recieved, but found that the breakfast was not fit for consumption. I stopped back at hardees on my way home to inform them that we did not receive our whole order and to tell them how bad it was, All we got in return was our orange juice and a "I'm sorry". This is the third time this has happened at this place

Hardee's Restaurants service

I visited the resturant on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 during the lunch hour. The person working the drive thru window seemed to be frustrated with the busy crowd, which is understandable. However, when I was there at the window waiting to receive my drinks that were ordered, the lady was filling one cup and reached for the lids with the other hand, grabbing both at the same time. She was unable to seperate the lids with the one hand so she proceeded to use her mouth the seperate them, then placed them on the cups. When she turned to hand me the cups I informed her I didn't want those cups because I sat there and watched her use her mouth on them. She seemed even more agitated as she throw them away and fixed more drinks for us. As this was going on a lady (whom I thought was a customer), was leaning on the counter talking with another employee. She then came into the kitchen area and fixed her a drink then walked back out. This lady was dressed in what seemed to be her pajamas that looked to have been very dirty.

Because of my work schedule I was unable to address the problem with a manager at that time so I returned to the resturant that evening when I left my job and asked for a manager. When the manager came to the counter she just happened to be the lady from earlier that day whom I thought was a customer fixing her own drink. When I told her my experince she told me that the lady shouldn't have done that and she offered me a free combo the next time I came in. Her work uniform looked just as unkept as her daily attire. It looked as if it had been worn several times without being wahsed, not just faded but filthy.

I reported the incident because of the health risk of passing who know what kind of germs, and for this employee to get more training if needed. I don't know when or if I'll return to Hardee's therefore I didn't want a "free combo".

Thanks for allowing me to voice this matter,
Tamora Rippy

I just went to Hardee's for a quick drive thru lunch. - LOL - no such thing there!
I just sat for 30 minutes in line with just 3 cars in front of me. I sat and watched 4 cars pull out of line and drive off. Then when I got to the window the girl apoligizes for the wait and tells me that "the people in the back won't do their job"! They are losing alot of business because of their inability to move their order along. I won't go back though - I will go to Arby's or Wendy's or somewhere that services their customers!
Terrible service and then the food was horrible too! Sad!

Hardee's Restaurants no air conditioning

For the last two weeks the air condition is not working in the lobby.
I have spoken to three managers so far and all they can say is that
The office know's about it.
So do something !
They said that in the back was cool but no air in the lobby. There was a lady who got too hot and got dizzy and had to leave because of the heat.
When I was there I looked at the thermostat and it was 86 degrees
In thre and it was only 10:30 in the morning.
Please fix this problem before someone gets sick or hurt.
Thanks

Hardee's Restaurants commercial

I understand that companies use tactics to gain sales, but this commerical with the "lady" eating the hamburger... well you can't even say she's doing that- it's more like a interview for a r rated movie. I saw this during the day/evening with my 9 year old daughter and 14 year old son.. Come on Hardee's, advertise the good stuff on your burger, don't continue this sexual theme that you have been using for over a year or so.. Top CEO, would you let your daughter do this commercial?

I agree. Hardees commercials are disgusting. Having a child is one of the greatest blessing's God has given me and I'm trying to raise my son to respect women. If Hardees chooses disrespect that, and use women and sex to sell burgers on national television, no problem...just don't do it during family hours of T.V. They lost our business...I'll let them sell burgers to perverts. I predict that they'll be the next chain to cut their franchises and blame the economy. I'll eat more chicken. ;)

I too agree the new commercial is disgusting, tasteless and borders on perversion! My 14 year old daughter was sitting next to me as the commercial came on and she said "Wow"! Why don't they just show porn"! I do not care about what this commercial is based on, I do care about the message it sends to women and young women everywhere! It exploits women and young girls! I will NEVER step foot in a Hardees restaurant again! If they go out of business, it's obvious why! They sealed their own fate! Either way, this commercial needs to get off the air!

Hardees is so desperate that they are using soft porn to sell burgers. It is a shame that all the world cares about is the all mighty dollar and not what our children are seeing on TV. No matter how hard you try to be right there by their sides screening what they see, things like this can show up. I to have written to the headquarters and the FCC to complain about their commercials. It is a sick world we are living in today.

Hardees commercials is pretty well porn. I'm a woman and I'm tired of all these commercials popping up. I don't know what they think, that women don't eat burgers just men. All these commercials are geared towards men. And I turn the pornographic commecials that I have no right in my own home to choose what I want to see and I definitely don't want to see this crap. I'll never eat at Hardees again. I'm fed up and about ready to throw my tv out completely. They should make something to be able for a household to block these commercials.

If you are a shift leader do you think its okay to talk about other employees behind their back, and complain to other crew members and shift leaders? you should not make other employees feel bad for not coming in on their day off., or expect them to stay longer when their shift is over, and then if the crew does not stay or come in on days off the next day you treat them crappy. talking smack is not okay and will never be okay! All employees are to be treated with respect.

Oh come off it, in a child's eyes this is merely a woman, sitting on some steps, eating a burger. It's only adults that are offended because it titulates your sexual desires, and for that you are embarrassed to feel in front of your own child.

@ IndEpthfemale: I have to disagree. I know and understand marketing, and this was nothing more than a shameless attempt to sell more burgers with sex. While your thoughts on chefs having an almost sensual connection to food is likely true, we both know that this commercial did NOT target chefs. Come on... Hardees wants men to stop what they're doing and stare at this commercial, and then some point realize, oh, this is a Hardees burger commercial. And that would be OK, except that it's not just scupulous men who have to see this commercial. As another writer mentioned, anyone could be sitting in front of their TV enjoying a program that *they chose*, when this commercial is aired without their consent. Yes, an attentive parent might quickly change the station, but by the time they realize it's a racy commercial the children in the room have already seen it and are now asking Mommy why she changed the channel. Do you want to come explain sex to a 4 year old? No, commercials like these should not be permitted to air on channels that are likely to have children watching, just like so many other tasteless commercials.

There is a girl in that commercial? All I focus on is the delicious western burger! I am 450lbs and I am trying to reach my goal of 500, these western burgers are going to help me. I don’t need a sexy temptress to get me to eat; I just need to see the burger! By the way I just dropped some sauce on my leg and I can’t reach it… anyone want to help me out?

Hardee's Restaurants vulgar commercial

The Hardee's commercial featuring Padma eating a hamburger in a manner illustrating sexual behavior is disgusting! This commercial is very inappropriate for anyone to have to view but especially children. Whoever is behind the making & broadcasting of this commercial has no respect for women and views them, as the commercial says, "A piece of meat". Until this commercial is pulled from the air, Hardee's will forfeit my business. Obviously money is more important to Hardee's than human respect & decency.

Instead of getting the prudes out of your lives how about we put the perverts in the closet. Lets put all these men back in their place.

If you choose to indulge in perverted sexual behavior, do it in a private place, not on public TV. Obviously you men have no respect for women or children. It's a shame that your minds have reached such a state of depravity. Why don't you get off your tv watching rears & be REAL men. Real men respect women!

By the way, Mr. Jason Tillo, I weigh 110 pounds. I'm not a fat couch potato watching the idiot box. Perhaps you are and that's why you are defending pornographic commercials. Contrary to the Hardee's commercial, women are NOT a piece of meat. Women are NOT here for your sick, sexual pleasure. Sex was created by God for 1 man & 1 woman in marriage. Woe to those who call evil good!

I think everyone that says these things A. no nothing about marketing and B. didn't listen or watch the commercial C. knows absolutely nothing about a passion for food, freedom of expression, and symbolism. You all are missing the point. First you would've had to read Padma's book to understand the context of which the commercial used it. Secondly, you would have to understand that for food lovers every where (especially chefs) eating great food is a very sensual experience. They derive the same pleasure from the experience of tastes as lovers do foreplay.
It's not porn people! Apparently, nobody who posts these comments have ever seen porn, even soft core porn. I'm a woman, and I am not offended by this commercial because I used to work in marketing for a few years. What people find offensive is usually because they are uneducated and do not see the whole picture. Sometimes that is the fault of the advertising/networks. Mostly because of time constraints, etc. things tend to get lost in translation. I wonder if everyone who complains is also calling the axe company, burger king, tampon companies, penis enhancement agencies, etc. It's only offensive if you are easy to offend. Try talking to your children instead of shielding them from the f***ing world. In the long run you are doing more harm than good by not preparing them for what is truly out there.
