Very poor 🤒
We don't know much about how Wendy’s handles customer complaints outside ComplaintsBoard, but what we see here, on our website, is quite disappointing. We think there might be reasons for the company's actions (like not knowing about the complaints), and we would be happy to see them among customer-focused businesses that easily solve customer problems. But until that happens, we ask reviewers to be cautious when dealing with Wendy’s and using their services, and to carefully read the experiences of other customers on ComplaintsBoard, because who is warned is armed, you know! 💪

Wendy’s miles city montana wendy's

Today (June 29, 2017) I ordered a baconator fry. When I got home to eat it, there was jalapenos or ghost peppers in the cheese. That's not what I ordered. I would like either a free on for later date or just a refund please. Our order number was #3304 at 7:31 pm 40193. I'm sorry to complain. Anything spicy makes me sick. And I know that this is normally not the kind of service you get from this Wendy's so I'm hoping that the employer is making sure all the employees have the proper training because the past couple times we have gone here there has been issues with the food.

Wendy’s glass all over the pavement in drive-thru

I went through the drive-thru at Wendy's at 3102 Southwest Dr, Jonesboro, AR 72404 today 6/28/17 at 6:45pm. While in the drive-thru, I noticed a ton of glass on the pavement where you place your order. There was no way to avoid pulling forward without driving through the glass. After the lady at the 2nd window handed me my food, I told her about the glass in the drive-thru. She nodded her head like she already knew about it. I then said "so you know about all the glass in the drive-thru" and she nodded her head. If she knew about the glass, why hadn't it have been swept up? She obviously does not care about her customers at all. If I get a flat tire, I will be contacting you. I hope a child doesn't get glass in their shoe when walking into this restaurant tonight. I will not be going to a Wendy's ever again.

Wendy’s store location #[protected]

My husband and I dined in at this location at 6:07 pm, service was quick friendly and fast, only very bad part was at the end of our meal I noticed a roach on the chair, my husband went to tell the manager on duty and she was careless about the situation and as my husband was making the complaint I started to look around and there was another roach dead hanging from a spiderweb on the window. I also decided to take a picture since either manager or cashier didn't care. This place needs to get checked out immediately.

Wendy’s no service inside, drive-thru only served

At 4:12 today, I Stopped at Wendy's 1355 E. Second St. Jamestown NY 14701. Went inside to order, there was only one customer at counter. After 3 to 4 minutes I asked customer if they took your order yet. She said no. There was at least 4 employees working only on drive thru and wouldn't even look at the inside counter. I left without placing an order.
They should care about inside as much as drive thru.

Wendy’s management

A manager named ronald was yelling a the girl making the sandwiches over mustard. He called her dumb and threw 3 sandwiches in the trash and forced her to remake the same sandwich each time. He took my order and it was wrong on my receipt. Once she spoke up and said she wasnt dumb he told her to clock out and go home. I dont think that was right of him somce it was his mistake. I took time to talk with your employee because she was in tears. I dont know how you have someone like that as management. This isnt his first time treating employees wrong. I eat here daily but i will no longer eat here if i see him.

Wendy’s service

This experience has deeply upset my husband and I and so much so that I refuse to ever go to another Wendy's as well as the rest of my household. That would be a total of 5 customers you have lost out for life. I WAS going there at least one a week. That's about 700 dollars a year you will be permanently losing. The ignorance or your employees is unbelievable. They need to be retrained in how to properly act behind the counter! This was at the Wendy's at 368 Cottage Street in Pawtucket RI. My husband was flipping laughed in front of his face by the ignorant useless idiot you have working the counter. Not only did the employer make several mistakes on the order but he made fun of my husbands lips in front of his face to another staff member and said look at those which mind you are swollen and bleeding and very painful because HE HAS ORAL CANCER ! He is extremely self conscious about this obviously. This is a completely freaking outrage! How your staff can make fun of a customer right in front of his face and not only that not even know that it's cancer and he can't help it is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard! This was completely out of line and rude and he sucked because he couldn't even get thr order right that thr manager gave us free fries and he overcharged thr lady right after us. You need to screen people better and make sure your not hiring [censor] that are rude to customers! How can you hire a person like this and he received no discipline in this matter. Are you really serious he made several mistakes and made my husband feel like an inch tall and didn't even get repermanted will be bringing this complaint higher if I do not get answered in 24 hours! I want an apology and I want our money back. My husband felt like a piece of crap when he came home and I thought he was gonna cry if you employees that can make a customer feel like this. I will never eat there again and I will spread the word. Trust me I will bring issue higher if I don't receive a response!

Completely disgusting and outraged,

Wendy’s food

I JUST left Wendy's with my 4 for $4 and i ALWAYS get the junior bacon cheeseburger. I drove off trusting that AGAIN my order was correct as always because my burger was wrapped on the side where it says hamburger. I got to the beach ate my fries and nuggets then opened my burger...to my surprise it was a plain chicken sandwich. Normally I would let things go but what got me is it was just a chicken patty and bread. Very disappointed.

Wendy’s consistent wrong orders

The Wendy's located on James Redman PKWY, Plant City, FL is the most incompetent Wendy's restaurant in the business. They couldn't get an order right if their lives depended on it. They shorted an order one time of a few nuggets, then tonight, I ordered 3 Junior bacon cheeseburgers with only ketchup and got 3 single cheese all the way and no bacon. Incompetent! Asked for BBQ sauce and sweet and sour but only got sweet and sour. The incompetents working there are going to have a very hard time in life if they can't get a simple order right.

Went to this location last friday night (6/23/17), between 10pm and 1030pm.
Went thru the drive-thru, dining room just closed. ordered 2 chicken mozzarella salads. I was told they were all out. I don't understand how a restaurant that primarily sells hamburgers, runs out of salads.
anyway, proceeded to try to order 2 other salads. I say try because the person taking my order either couldn't comprehend or just refused to understand what I was saying. I had to say several times 1 power mediterranean salad full size, and 1 spicy caesar full size. after going back and forth a few minutes, I guess he just gave up and asked me did I want anything else, so I added a double stack, jr. cheeseburger deluxe, and a strawberry passion fruit chiller.
when I got to the window, they were looking at me and whispering to each other like there was a problem, but said nothing to me. I paid the total in cash, (over$20) received my order, or what I thought was my order, and asked for a ranch dressing. I received 2 buttermilk ranch dipping sauces. after that, I asked for my receipt and was met with a blank stare. so I figured I should just be on my way.
on my way home, I noticed that my drink tasted like water with a hint of strawberry flavor added to it. disappointed. once I arrived home and took the food out of the bag, we noticed that there were 2 spicy caesar salads. the burger orders were correct. well my wife doesn't eat spicy food, and she was disappointed. so she ate a bowl of cereal because of their mistake. I probably won't be going back to this location for awhile, and i'll be sure to tell my friends and coworkers about my experience.

Wendy’s wendy's cordelia

Worked there for seven months. The manager has a rape charge. Nothing but nepotism. Another female manager was caught showing pornographic pictures of me that were leaked by a police officer and stolen. Also she is a known prostitute. Another female manager has used my stolen dna and has had a child genetically engineered using my stolen dna from when I was 13. Her kids 17 i'm 30. Nothing good I was forced to quit.

Wendy’s poor service

I sat in this line over a hour and waited the line didn't move or nothing, the line is wrapped around the building. This doesn't make any sense at all maybe if they had more workers they could get something done. Every time I am here poor customer service they aren't doing there job why run a business if you can't make money that's why they don't have get customers because you sit in long so line and wait.

Wendy’s management

Carman the manager gave me a hard time about bringing my food back. She was very rude and disrespectful. The food I had purchased was cold and my kids would not eat it. I purchased it on 6/22/17 at 1:30pm. I returned it the next day with receipt. She needs training in customer service. I eat at this restaurant often and never had a problem until now.

Wendy’s baconator

Went through the drive thru at the Noblesville Indiana Wendy's.(clover rd.) made it all the way home to find that my sandwich was raw! Not just pink. RAW! I called and they told me to come back and they would replace it. I drove all the way back to the stride and the manager(Miguel ) attempted to correct the issue. Thinking surely the issue was corrected I went back home to find that I did not have a baconator at all but a double with everything! I do not like vegetables on my sandwichs hence the reason for ordering the baconator. So now I'm still hungry and not making a third trip. I would leave my receipt information but I did not get one! VERY UNSATISFACTORY!

Wendy’s employee in drive thru told me wendy's no longer has the cod sandwich, even though it was clearly on menu.

We went through Wendy's drive thru on Russellville Rd. in Bowling Green, KY and I tried to order the cod sandwich, but the employee informed me they no longer serve it. But there was a sign by the speaker promoting the cod sandwhich! Wendy's shouldn't promote something if they don't have it. I was disappointed that I couldn't try the sandwich for the first time.

Wendy’s inedible food (jr bacon cheeseburger)

Today I stopped at Wendy's for a quick burger on my way to work. It was about 11:45 am and they were polite and fast but once I went to eat my burger I noticed the lettuce was old an brown which threw me off because I always go there due to fresh delicious food. I though no biggie it happens and tore off the bad part beginning to eat. I got 2/3s of the way thru my burger and was completely grossed out because the next bite revealed an black curly hair within the mayo of my burger. First off my hair is blonde and secondly is was too short and too curly to be a hair from someone's head if you catch my drift. I don't know anyone there so im unsure why an employee thought it was okay to poison unsuspecting people with this nastiness. Some cruel joke. I have been literally sick to my stomach all day and didn't even eat it but the thought of it and the what ifs of if there might have been more that I unknowingly ate is enough to nauseate a person for weeks. I only pray I don't get sick. To be honest I would have went back an both shown/complained had I not had to be at work. This is heartbreaking to me that people are so gross and disappointing because we have never had a problem, it's my childrens favorite place to go. We won't return and my only request is that you please send someone to re train and investigate the problem to keep it from happening to others. It's simply unacceptable.

Wendy’s my baconator

I took a picture of my sad and quite frankly inedible Baconator. I would have taken it back but frankly... I wouldn't eat another one. I live less than a mile from the store.
I like The Baconator and it really crushed me that this is what your store on Toronto rd in Springfield Illinois, served me. This is an outrage. I attached a picture of it as I opened it fresh outta the bag. Would you eat that. Seriously. This is not the standard. This is not what you go to Wendys for. I pay Wendys prices for the quality of the food. Quality. This is not that. It's a shame.
