Wendy’s cleaning practice poor

I ate lunch (well up until I saw the following) in Las Vegas at a Wendy's Restaurant near the intersection of West Charleston and Rainbow Dr on November 20, 2009. As I was eating at about 1:10pm, I happened to watch a member of the crew cleaning tables. With the same rag, this crew member first cleaned the outside top of the trash bins, then cleaned the seats on several chairs, then cleaned the tops of several tables. If someone's garbage touched the top of the trash bin, if someone came to the restaurant with dirty pants, then I was eating off a surface that had been wiped with the same material on the trash bin and the chair seats. I think it is time to re-think where I eat lunch.

Wendy’s food quality & taste

What happened to Wendy's? Today I had my worst meals ever in a fast food restaurant... This afternoon I tried some new boneless chicken wings at Orlando airport that were totally disgusting in taste and inacceptable in texture. Well I thought that was just a coincidence. After arrival in Philly I gave them a second chance and ordered a half-pounder plus fries in Malvern. Here it turned out that the beef was bloody-red and the fried utterly disgusting in taste - is it the oil that makes the fries taste like fish?
The last time I had eaten at Wendy's was a couple of years ago - back than Wendy's and Burger King were pretty comparable both quality- and tastewise. Now, I wouldn't recommend it even to my worst enemy...

Wendy’s soggy buns

I won't eat at Wendy's anymore, because no matter what type of sandwich me and my family order, the buns are always completely soggy and falling apart. It's disgusting. No one wants to eat a burger that's soggy and falling apart. This is the only fast food burger restaurant that this happens. I feel that Wendy's needs to find a new supplier for their buns, because I know that we will not eat there again. I've heard this complaint from other people as well.

Wendy’s quality/service

ad shows full slices of bacon. rec'd raw hamburger with 3 small half slices of bacon, baked potato was burnt and dry. Manager outside smoking with three other employees at 6 p.m., busy dinner time. young employee at register busy texting and looking around to see if anyone is catching her complaining of swollen glands and inability to swallow. The ad for the new bacon deluxe is false advertising, manager and front counter employee should be looking for a job. I won't go back! Quite disappointed with my undercooked hamburger and my over cooked potato. Value for money-poor. Service=poor!

That's awful but probably not true of all franchises. Go to Wendys.com and let corporate know about this particular restaurant. You'll probably get some coupons out of it to use at a franchise with better service and better food.

Wendy’s food quality

The food has gone completely downhill ever since Dave Thomas died. The fries are undercooked in a new oil that tastes more like oil and less like potatoes. The burger is loose and tastes frozen. The buns, in addition to having some new gritty stuff stuck to them, are hard and thick and all you can taste. On top of this, their prices keep going up. I used to go about twice a week, but now I don't go at all. They've gone from the best fast food out there to one of the worst.

I have been ordering Wendy's chili for years. I like the idea of it being somewhat healthy and affordable. Since prices of gas are rising, so are fast foods, which are understandable. I do not understand how they can water down food (chili) and expect to get away with it. The chili was at least 2 inches below the fill line and there was more water and spices in the chili than anything else. Barely any beans or meat...mostly water.

I can relate to this one. Maybe the employees don't need to be fired, how about educated on some CS?! I get overcharged all the time when I eat out. And yes, it is upsetting, esp. if you know how much it should cost i.e. you eat the same thing at the same restaurant each time. If my "partner" is with me, he always says "it's just a dollar, forget about it"?! But if they overcharge each customer by a dollar, that is a lot of profits :). Mistakes happen. Maybe you were PMSing?! Maybe it was the way you presented the issue?! They always say you get more with honey than you do with vinegar, which is true. But a lot of ppl in CS see it as simply a pay check, they don't realize the domino effect it has. I will not frequent a place if the service is lousy?! Why would I?! Market is too competitive?!

Wendy’s low quality food

I have worked in the fast food industry all my life. I am the wheel that keeps the engine running, I work for wendys restarants both franchise and corporate and since the new crew mostly hispanic I have seen things that makes me wonder why more people don't get sick ie I pay attention to people who prepare food for the public and I have seen that hand washing - cooking food completly, since I service the equipent that the public cannot see behind the lines I will not eat in my own companies restaurantsnglish where everthing is color coded to make food and I see some of the most grossly acts of food I am talking about from hand washing to removing chicken off the grill not completly cooked. One incident a freezer was done for 24 hours and the manager served food that should have been thrown away. Having mp;oyees that don't understand basic food safety and the equipment is so dirty I know that we need for all who work in these stores to unerdtand basic food safety but at wendys its speed of service at any cost since dave thomas passed I have seen a line that is very disstessing concerning wendys where they say qaulity is our motto this is not true and can be seen by the lack of sales prople trusted the old school now its how many produts can we sell at any cost. I would say that wendys has lost there foucus and if things don't change people will bet sick wenys arbys group will be a restarant of the past unless the consumer is aware of what they are eating and who OS preparing it just kids trying to mske s paycheck the problem is not titally there fault they come from a dirty country and I hate to see a great copany go down from where it a great place for good food now its eat at your own rise.

I currently work for Wendy's. When I get to work I wipe down everything, I dont care who did it before me. I believe the problem is in the store owner's. I worked my first day 9.30 hours with out a break. The next day was 11.30 hours no break. They are slave drivers. I keep throwing stuff away when the hold time it up, others don't. I don't like to work in a place where everyone speaks Spanish. I have had customers stop me and actually say Thanks for working in the drive thru, so they don't need a translator. I am white and I hold no prejudice to anyone but I find half of white, black, mexican, asian are rude to anyone they meet at our store. It's hard to go out on a limb for people, when your first interaction with them is hostile. If they followed the law and gave everyone their breaks like they are suppose too, all crew members would feel adquate as employees. I only took this job due to hard times and question myself eating out anywhere. The moral of the story is if you want something cooked right do it yourself. Watch out for all mexican crews, they don't wash hands and hold times are insignificant. They touch raw chicken then touch hamburger meat then make your sandwich without washing their hands.

Wendy’s order is almost always wrong

I love the spicy chicken sandwhich with lettuce and tomato, but I hate Mayo. At least half the times I have ordered this sandwhich with no mayo, guess what? They put it on there any way! Today the girl repeated my order back to me - Spicy no mayo. Not only was there mayo today, they also threw on some sort of "cheese" to boot! It was pretty gross. I always go through the drive through and take it back to work so i really have no choice but to eat it... yuck!

Wendy’s employee 's rights violated

On [protected] was called out to wendys for my husband after not once but twice he lost all counciousness. the mgr on duty decided to take it upon herself not to contact me his wife after he had stopped breathing for at least 45 seconds. the mgr on duty said it was not important enough to contact me or any family member. then when i walked down to ask why i wasnt contacted both managers on duty were laughing and said i was disrespecting them. i was then told phoenix fire dept told her not to bother his family at home and worry them. then i wa told in the incident report it states my husband refused to go yet when my husband read the report it never stated that. on top of that the gm of the store will not give me the correct number i need to talk to corporate and the district manager. refuses to give me more than five minutes os his time. On top of that my husband is on strict docters orders for light duty they have lifting and carrying heavy items doing morning openings pouring heavy chilli containers, getting ice etc wich probaly led up to the incident on friday. someone please respond to this if you can becouse im trying to understand how this can be jusstified! this is inhumane treatment of an employee and their is no exuse for it!

often enough it is not the businesses job to contact family after an accident. It is the police, hospital, emergency services.

I cant say it is right but unfourtunatley the law works on the employers side rather than the employee. However if you can prove that overworking your husband is what caused the incident and he has a medical note on file then you may have a lawsuit on your hands. I would definately make an appt with a personal injury atty.

Wendy’s manager to crew

on 08-05-09 an asst. manager was booted back down to crew, because another person didn, t do their job. this asst. manager has been working there almost 2 years. she had worked her way up from crew to asst. manager, working the closing shift and day shift. she has two kids to take care of plus other bills and just barely getting by. she has took a big cut in pay and has now lost the only insurance she had. i think this is ### on wendy, s part. they could have handle it another way. all they are looking at is a dollar not the people that work for them . i don, t think this is daves way, it, s the people who own these wendys in bowling green that don, t care about anyone but themself. i will not eat there any more because of this. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR THEM.

We went to purchase 10 double cheeseburgers and 3 fries. The problem is when we got home we seen we were shorted a few burgers and fries were hard..But that's not all, the burgers were singles not doubles. We live 30 minutes away and had to go back just for the order to get done wrong again. And saturated with lots of mustard. The meat on 3 of the burgers tasted or felt like they had either been reheated several times or over cooked and reheated. Not the first time it happened but very rare. We waited at the speaker for them to take our order for around 15 minutes and another 20 minutes just to get the order just for it all to be wrong and have to make second trip and it still wrong. The only good thing is attitudes were. Please let me knpw what we can do. Thanks. Troy Alabama. Melisa morgan please contact me.

Wendy’s product bait-n-switch

Wendy's has been advertising their "new" spicy Asian chicken. The commercials and print ads show big chunks of chicken, glistening with a nice coating of some special sauce overflowing a black plastic tray. What you get is nothing even close to this. Basically, what you get are Wendy's chicken nuggets, arranged in a plastic tray, and drizzled with sauce. The chicken does not look anything like what they advertise. In fact, what it looks like is someone took their chicken nuggets (that they sell for far less money) tossed them in a tray and poured some sauce on them. The chicken is not "coated" in the sauce. It is floating in the sauce. It is not thick, juicy, boneless chicken wing pieces (as they told me it was supposed to be when I called). Its pressed, breaded, nasty chicken that has been warmed up and tossed on a tray. Its a rip off! A BIG BIG RIP OFF.
I've visited three Wendy's in two different cities just to confirm that this wasn't an isolated incident of someone not knowing what they were doing. All three experiences were identical and, in one case, an employee actually argued with me that the pathetic looking food on my tray looked just like the chicken on the poster plastered on the wall next to the cash register. Another customer overheard our discussion and CHANGED HIS ORDER as a result. He thanked me and told me that he thought the "new" chicken was a joke as well.

Yes, the Asian chicken is a big rip-off. Nearly $4 for six dinky chicken nuggies. definitely not what I expected. They would be good if there were more of them for the price. Heck, it was about a dollars worth of chicken. how cheap.

Wendy’s rudeness

The majority of the managers that work at this particular Wendy's are rude, they harass there employees, they have no care in the world for others, they are completely out of line. My fiance works for Wendy's and has worked for Wendy's for 3 years and he called in sick because him and i both got sick and the manager at the time working the shift said that it would be ok. When two in the morning rolled around a different manager decided to call on her cell phone and complain to my fiance that she needed him and wouldn't take the fact he was sick into consideration. Sometimes there employees don't get there breaks when scheduled or don't get the scheduled amount of breaks. The management there is unfair, it's uncalled for, it's not right, and once my fiance get himself a new job i intend to find a way to sue Wendy's.

You have no case. Whining is not a basis for a lawsuit.

You should be more concerned that you plan on marrying a fast food worker. At least set a higher bar for yourself as a woman.

Wendy’s poor service &conduct

Wendy's has gotten worst every year. Poor service and unfair to their employees wrong. Managers stepping out of the place. I thought they were not allow to date their own employee. It's ok as long as they keep it out of the work place but in front of the employees and customers doing things that are not appropriate. I use to love going to wendy's but this wendy's located at harlem and higgins its just awful in every way you can think of.

I have not patronized the wendy's restaurant in my small town for at least 2-3 years, due to the snotty and hateful attitudes of the employees and manager there. They acted like they were being put-upon by performing the jobs they are obviously paid to do. Not all racists are white, obviously. That's ok wendy's keep your *** burgers! They're not that *** special anyway. This problem is obviously not confined to my small town, but seems to be entrenched in the entire wendy's conglomerate.

I ordered my food at around 8:15 PM after waiting in line for about 15 minutes, left at 8:59 PM with NO food. They had me waiting for so long. After 2 customers who ordered after me recieved their food, I went up to the counter to ask if they forgot about my order. They did, then after seeing 3 more customers who ordered recieve their food even after I reminded them of my order, I went up and asked for a refund. They didn't even offer me to have the sandwich for free. Horrible service and absurd waiting time, how about finding people who can actually do the job!

Disgusting and Ignorance
Wilmington, US
Jun 10, 2011 12:22 pm EDT

I worked at wendy's for about a year and a half. Since I been there, I saw with my own eyes one of the top managers (elena) cheating on her own husband having sex in the back of the store where we keep food for the customers! I gave the complaint to the other manager harriet) over top of her, and she dismissed it and got mad and told me to go leave work and go home. I felt that I was doing the right thing about bringing it to someones attention because of all the diseases that could be spread when having sex around food! And for what I found out later on, that elena was taking medicine for herpes. That even makes the situation worse. Anyway, now that I have covered the disgusting part, here's the ignorance part. For me bringing the situation to the other managers attention (Harriet) has made (Elena) hold a grudge at me and threatened me many of times that she was going to get me back. Since then, I have been suspended, had my hours reduced and treated with ignorance, all because I brought a nasty situation to someone (Harriet) that I thought would handle it professionally. The two top managers (Harriet) and (Elena) work together on the morning shift so therefore whenever someone whether customer or employee has a complaint, it goes no further than either one. For example:when I brought the complaint to (Harriet) about (Elena) having sex in the store around food, during working hours (Harriet) said "again"! And the only punishment she received was nothing at all!

Well..

let me begin to tell you about my little adventure with wendys is chillicothe ohio. me and my family went in around 9:20 pm to get a snack before heading home. the lady on register asked " are you guys ready to order now? " but being in the fast food industy i let that slide. my mom started the order with a kids meal for my younger sister.. than my other sister ordered. this lady interupted us and informed us that we were confusing her and we needed to slow down. again i didnt say anything cause i know fast food. my dad stood up there to wait for our food while the rest of us sat down. i sat down and realized that we were missing a drink. i walked up and told my dad. he told the lady on register and she refused to give us the drink we paid for. she said she made it and doesnt know what we did with it. so the manager comes over and takes the side of the lady on register. saying we were rude and loud. let me tell you we did not once raise our voice. so we took our food to go and left... and we were missing half our order. so needless to say my family will never eat at a wendys again. POOR SERVICE!

I went through the drive thru, something I don't usually like to do, as the order usually gets screwed up. I didn't receive a straw, so I opened the lid to get a drink from my soda. It was well over an inch from the top of the cup. As I paid over $2.00 for the drink, I expect it to be full. When I got home and looked in the bag, did not get a receipt, or else I might have called the store. Also did not receive any eating utensils, napkin, etc. Kind of hard to eat a salad without a fork.

I can not believe that management did this... I ordered a double burger... I was given a hamburger with 4 patties on it... When I explained to the manager about this, she then explained to me " we ran out of patties so we resorted to using JR. burger patties instead... These patties are so thin after cooking there is hardly any meat left... You would think I would have been made aware of this before I made my purchase... Of course they wouldn't do this, they are afraid of losing a sale...

My girlfriend was six months pregnant. She is a vegetarian. She was so hungry that she started gagging and wanted to lay down, but needed to eat. So since I was driving I stopped and went to the nearest place for food. Wendys. After waiting in line for twenty five minutes despite there only being two other customers in the store, and probably five employees working drive-through window that I could see, someone finally took my order. I asked for a cheeseburger with everything on it, except NO MEAT. Yes, I want a burger roll with lettuce, tomato, etc.. and skip the burger. I watched the girl that was working the assembly line of food, watched her mess up several times by putting burger patties onto the rolls, and then throw them away. By this time, I had been waiting well over half an hour (which is standard time there, go check yourself - I just didn't know it at the time.) for a cold roll with several condiments on it. The manager went over to the girl to see what was taking so long, and when she saw it was to have no meat, she said to the employee, and I quote, "oh, haha.. that boy should just go home and make his own f*cking sandwich." It took all of my resolve not to show any anger and feed this woman her own nose, but I had to choke it down because I needed the food for my girlfriend.

Rude service at Wendy's. The girl (Only girl) at the counter who took my order had the most racist demeaner. She should have just just asked me what the Fu*k I wanted to order. The manager looked just as lame and not caring. I won't cater to Wendy's until I see an approvement in their staff attitude. Very unprofessional organization. This particular Wendy's is on Baseline & Ellsworth in Mesa Arizona. In retalliation I poured some Ketchup on their customer eating area rug floor. Improve or get more ketchup revenge Wendy's.

So i'm hungry go around the corner to wendy's and pull up at the drive thru. Ask the cashier to hold for second while I decided what I wanted to order. I guess she didn't hear me then she ask to take my order then I guess me having to tell her to wait again made her upset. So when ready she ask me to hold with no one in line then I said hello and she repeated oh I need u to wait. So finally I had to drive around to the window to place my order and then I recieved o receipt with my order. To top it all off the manager walk right past the window and looked at me like I was crazy! Something needs to be done about those type of people

Wendy's restaurant on 114th street in rockaway beach, new york, I sat in the drive thru for about 7-8 minutes. when they finally came to the drive thru everything I ordered they did not have (large size meals, no baked potatoes, no chicken nuggets) on occassions they do not have the proper condiments. Also I witnessed a staff memeber changing the garbage bag with the plastic gloves and as soon as he fininshed throwing it out he returned and started putting hamburgers to cook with the same gloves he had on when he was messing with the garbage. I spoke to the manager who 's explanation was he did not touch the garbage only the bag...

$4.00 for a tiny, tasteless fish sandwich? Yikes! I had high hopes when ordering Wendy's highly advertised "Premium Fish" sandwich, but I was very disappointed to receive a tiny, nearly tasteless filet on a plain white bun with only a small lettuce leaf and dab of musty-tartar-goop. Traditional "premium" toppings such as tomato, onion, pickle, and mustard...

Wendy’s short changed at the drive through.

Mid-afternoon (1:45 pm) hunger pangs led me to the Wendy's drivethrough where I ordered a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger at a cost of $1.06. I paid with a $10 bill, a dime, and a penny-- meaning I should have received $9.05 change. What I got was a $5 bill, three $1 bills, a nickel, and $1.00 coupon. What made me angry enough to post was that one of the singles I got in change was folded in half, so that when handed to me fanned out it looked like I was getting a $5 and four $1's.

I supsect the $1 coupon I received was either meant to diminish the chance that I'd turn around if I noticed the "gaffe" or to help the cashier balance their register at shift's end. I like Wendy's food, but this wasn't the first bad experience I've had and I intend to deny them the opportunity to do it to me again.
