Hardee's Restaurants commercial

The commercial in which to males that are eating burgers are watching two females play volleyball. At one point the females jump as the camera stays on the females' half covered bottoms. It is humiliating to have had to view it while watching a family program with my husband and daughter. It is degrading to females and sends the wrong message to impressionable teenagers. Please remove the commercial. It is inappropriate.

Hardee's Restaurants food quality

Hardee's of Marion #[protected] on 09/17/2015 time 06:52AM

ordered 2 chicken bisc $6.18 each.

the tops were 1/8" thick and in 4 pieces on top of the chicken and when open the paper half of the top fell off the chicken.

Last week had same (top in pieces) problem with 2 butter/jelly bisc. call and got a free order the next day. Manager stated they should not have served the bisc, that way.

In the past month on my butter/jelly bisc. they forget twice to give me the jelly.

I stop every morning for breakfast.

Told the manager that if this was not corrected I was going to another store to get my breakfast.

This store in the past has been wonderful, but not quality is going down.

Hardee's Restaurants order delay

Thursday Feb. 12th I ordered from hardees at 9:00pm from the landline [protected], my orders was Angus friends meal
After an hour I Called to complain because my order didn't arrive, they said they will check and call me in a few minutes, no one called, after 15 mins I called again they said the manager of San Stefano branch will call me, no one did
Half an hour and I called again to complain, but this time they acted like they're hearing my problem for the first time.
I called 2 hours after my first ordering call to cancel the order.
The delivery man arrived 2.5hrs from my ordering call, and ofcourse I didn't take it. And no one cared to ask if I was angry
Very bad experience, starting with the awfully late food from branch and ending with the irresponsible and irrespective manner of both the branch manager and the complaint center.
I don't think I will ever order from hardees again.

Hardee's Restaurants did not get what I ordered

My husband and I stopped there after a doctor'd appt for breakfast . He ordered breakfast and 2 bacon and egg and cheese biscuits, I ordered breakfast and 1 bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and 2 senior coffee's. We got all but one of the biscuits. When I tried to talk with the cashier, she said I got what I had ordered. We got charged $15.89 I even tried to talk with the manager and the cashier cut me off, I was very upset for what we got charged and not the fill order. I have my receipt for this upsetting morning .We use another store closer to home and will not ever go back to this one or refure any of our friends to go there. Also I went to refill my coffee and it was out @ 9:15 in the morning. The trash can was so full that it would not take any more and was up to the top with no more room. On our way out I told the manage about the coffe being out. I did not want to discuss any more as a line was starting to form THANK YOU SANDRA SEELOFF 4917WHITEWOOD LANE VA. BCH. 23464 .

They are advertising two 1/4 lb cheese burgersfor 3.00 but the burger does not have two slices of cheese. A double cheese burger is suppose to have two slices of cheese. One burger will cost you 1.79 add sales tax and if you want two slices of cheese add .30 cents for something that is suppose to already come one the burger.

Who makes these rules? In that case, to be literal you should get two slices of cheese and one piece of meat. That would be a "double cheese" burger.

Wow, what a whiney little dork. I worked for a number or Hardee's locations while I was still going to school and if you actually put any thought into it, the double in the quarter pound double cheeseburger stands for double patties. If you take a peek there, cheeseburger is one word. You can order a double at McDonald's and most of locations will give you one slice of cheese as well. If you're trying to be literal with cheese burger at two words, you could order a quarter pound double cheese burger and get one patty with two eighth pound slabs of cheese to make a quarter pound of cheese. Get a grip!

Hardee's Restaurants mile high commercial and deleted words on cinnamon raisin customer email.

Your national airplane ads and your easily deciphered profane email regarding the bringing back of cinnamon biscuits are classless, sexist and value numbing to youth. As they are shown in prime time, the offense is even worse. You may be marketing millenials but the day will come when that age group scoffs at your lack of retirement healthcare and benefits. It all hose round and round. While I was not a frequent customer, I now am a never customer at any Hardee's or Carl's.

Horrible service. Attendant totally screwed up order, but after waiting 11 minutes to have it brought out from the drive-thru order, we weren't going to wait another half hour for them to correct it. I will not be visiting any Hardee's Restaurants again. I don't have the time to sit and waste.

Hardee's Restaurants advertising

So many people have emailed Hardees about these nasty commercials and they are telling everyone the same thing, they have a creative approach to advertising. They do not care about their customers if they will not listen to them! We do not want the nasty commercials, so change them. How about really being creative, there are many commercials out there that are creative without being nasty. The people who allow these and come up with these commercials are nasty, disgusting, perverted people. I for one will keep emailing, I wonder how many excuses they will come up with or just stick to its "creative entertainment" It's sad and irritating at the same time! Anyone upset with their commercials do not give up, keep emailing them even if they say the same thing, may be if enough people keep at them they will realize they need to change something.

I have seen the ads for the chicken tenders. On the connercial they look really good. I stopped at the Pennington location on Friday night around 9:30 and ordered 2 of the 5 piece tenders these cost 10.98. When I got home the tenders were VERY small. The original tenders had been cut in half before cooking. I was very disapointed and will NOT order from the resturant again. I don't care to pay for food but I expect to get what I pay for!

The utinsels lay in the open in a tray the employees use bare hands... no gloves at all... to handle them. They are not even wrapped. I don't know where their hands have been. To me this is not healthy...

Hey, Hardee's! What are you REALLY selling? I think your commercials are totally disgusting, show poor taste, and should be banned from television. They are inappropriate for any age! If you can't sell your food simply because of quality and good service, then what's the point? Pretty sick.

Hardee's Restaurants inappropriate commercials

Hardee's is producing inappropriate commercials to promote their hamburgers. Their commercials are too sexual in nature (girl all laid out in front of car on ground half naked and wet looking, then another half naked girl knocks and wants to join her. They should be used for this type of advertising on daytime and regular cable channels that are family oriented. I was watching a family cable show with my kids and this comes on?! INAPPROPRIATE AND I will never take my family to Hardee's again since they are this desperate.

Hardee's Restaurants cleanliness (not!)

My husband and I have enjoyed eating at your store here since it first opened up at 2006 N Reynolds Rd
Bryant, AR 72022.. They are usually very clean, and courteous, but today when we walked in we almost turned around an walked out.. We walked in an looked around an counted the workers(6) were there so there was no excuse for the shape of this store today. I have worked in more than one of these type restaurants an if it comes to it, even the manager their self would help out with keeping this store clean an getting the food out on time. It wasn't just us that was embarrassed at what we walked into an saw today, the drink station was nasty an hadn't been cleaned, the ice was running over out of the tray of the fountain drink machine onto the counter and all the tables were nasty and still had food, salt both on the table an on the seats on some of them an under the tables too and were nasty also.. Some still had the order numbers from other customers that had already left still on them also, the floors were nasty also an not only us, but other customers had to clean off their own tables in order to be able to set down to eat.. It was a total disaster, and my husband went into the mens restroom and even that was nasty. Pardon the expression, but there was dried bowel movement all over the bottom of the lid that was up on the commode.. He opened the door an showed it to me. I am not trying to start trouble for anyone, but since there were 6 employees there, an this was all before noon, one of them should've been able to take just a few minutes to go out an clean the place up because their were only 2 other customers in there when we got there, but by the time we left it got full. Cleanliness is what brings customers back to your store and makes them keep coming back along with the food being cooked right, an orders getting out on time. There were quite a few customers there complaining on how it looked today.. one lady came out an wiped off 1 table and didn't even finish cleaning it, then went back to the register.. It doesn't take long to clean the front or the bathroom. One of your employees that worked back behind the register an does the cooking, was up front helping to fix some of the to go bags also while we were ordering, she dropped the pair of tongs she was using, an instead of going an washing them off or getting another clean pair.. she picked them up off the floor an put them right back into the spot where they put them while using them, and that was a health hazard right there alone, then she went to the back to help put orders together.. From the shape it was in today, I'm not sure if you'll continue to have the same kind of business and frankly I couldn't blame them, we're not sure if we will be back either. I'm not one to complain much, but I've worked at Hardee's before an I know how things go, and exactly how your suppose to keep the store clean. I think you would appreciate me letting you know exactly what kind of shape this new store was in before you lose business due to the uncleanliness of the store. I have also sent a copy of this to the District Manager (Ryan Taylor) for this store..

Hardee's Restaurants lost money

Samy sayed ezzat is my name legal adviser yesterday saturday24 august 2013 I accompanied my five grand daugters to have a meal at hardees mosadaq street cairo from 1pm to2.3o pm setting to the table I got out my money from my back pocket. The girls had previously eaten and paid themselves whil I had a short tour around. I gave one girl 50 pounds to order round beef sandwitch
Then I began to return the remaining money again to my back pocket the amount was l. E.2450 it seems for the tight jeans pocket that I wrongly dropped the monet behind me
Having finished my meal I accompanied the girls out to discover that nothing into my back pocket. Simply I sent the elder daughter while getting the car from the near parking to ask any man about finding the money but no one around 15 minutes cared when I entered the place I met the waiter of our two tables I noticed he was somehow uneasy on seeing me I met a manager called mr saeed he denied any possibility to find the money I have two points to declare, first it is supposed the moment the guest leave the polluted table the waiter comes at once to clean and prepare it for new guest the direction of his eyes is down to see the table and chairs. Second the money was folded with rubber tacking the shape of a box the waiter, assuming no money with him along the shift, I noticed similar shape inside his back pocket I conveyed my two notices to mr saeed whom I felt very very very gentle, smooth and asked him to find my money even if he was forced to search his subordinate. Keeping honest to hardees reputation I gave him my mobile no. And took his, agreed to contact upto 6p. M when he denied again. I call for your investigation depending upon my two abovementioned declarations and till the moment I preferred to seek your attention rather than tell any other party my mobile number is o1o [protected]. Hopping to hear from you in short instance evaluating my behavior to call you first for the sake of your reputation thanks in advance.

Hardee's Restaurants advertisement content

(July 11, 2013) The audio advertisement by Hardee's regularly and currently rotated on Pandora.com is revolting. It uses a continuous stream of obvious innuendos which are practically yelled by the narrator. One excerpt is that the narrator wants to have 'hamburger babies', the rest is not remotely funny, which is what I'm assuming is the advertiser's goal (if you can call it one)
The entire spot is nauseating, and I am not a sensitive person, by any means. This is the clearest example I have heard of low quality 'sex sells', and is completely unnecessary and in complete bad taste.
The ad even plays when Pandora is set on a children's station; it plays during every other ad break (I have the free Pandora version).
This ad would no doubt cause an average person to close the website, even without the presence of a child.
This definitely makes me not want to patronize or recommend Hardee's or Pandora's free or paid service. What a horrible decision on both companies' parts.

Hardee's Restaurants false advertising

The local Hardees I frequent on the way into work in Pace, Florida by and large has a friendly staff. My only issue has re-occured over the years there. They have pictures shown of a biscuit or sandwich that in no way resembles what is served. Case in point is the Pork Chop and Gravy biscuit that is back. The first couple times I ordered one and took to my office 4 minutes down the road, I took it back the next day or complained with my receipt indicating they gave me a plain pork chop biscuit. I finally came to realize, most of the time, I would have gravy added to one side, not both as advertised and in a small enough amount to totally soak into the biscuit, leaving no discernible traces of gravy behind. Today was no exception. I have plenty to do at work without worrying about the amount of gravy on a biscuit. But when it taste like a plain pork chop biscuit, looks like a plain pork chop biscuit, it might as well be a plain pork chop biscuit! (picture attached)

Lang, thanks for the advice and seeing Tash as she is. Miserable, alone and mentally unbalanced. But I only commented back and egged her on because I like a little bantering back and forth sometime. I'm sure I'll be amused when she explains her last comment above about counterdicted stories. (Although I am assuming she meant contradicted).

Good stuff. Some makes sense and of course, the rest unsubstantiated opinions. What is undeniable is the fact about how much energy people with nothing better to do will spend arguing pointless opinions.
But thats what makes this country special. As to these arguments...
1. The letter to the editor. AS I pointed out, I was only able to paste an email from them. ALL I was trying to say to Tasha forever known as 'The Tard' (sorry, I get to have a little fun too) was she could easily email the site Admin. and prove there were 'private' rude messages going to her. I'm sorry to have not asked by now, can I assume you can send private messages on here? Or is that only if an email is visual for your name? I admit, I haven't bothered to look.
2. Another individual, Bell Complaint, has come on board and stated, He dosen't think I have relatives with Bi-polar disorder. Again, I am amazed at the number of peeps that will assert baseless opinions. To assert an opinion such as, it would have been easier to resolve this at the store level is a perfectly valid opinion. I wish to say once again, this was done multiple times. Posting on this site was just an attempt to vent and call attenion to a reoccuring problem. I never realized it would lead to so much entertainment. Keep up the good work!

Anyway, enough of that. well, it's obvious you cannot or will not provide proof on the rude messages thing. Which would be a waste, because you've been too much fun to poke fun at publicly.
Well, you called me out on proof I've spoken to Admin. on her. Kinda a 'Show me yours, I'll show you mine'? Now who is acting 10, Tasha? Really! Anyway, here is a copy of one reply from the board. I can only copy and paste it.

Ok, I may need help interpreting what Tasha just said, but I'll give it a try.
1. 'No one earns the right to tease about Bi-polar disorder'. Well ok, that is your opinion. That is reasonable you have a different opinion than I do.
2. 'Rude Pm's'. Sorry Tasha, again, you state you have proof, but have thus failed to produce it. I have written the board administrator and have gotten a direct reply. It seems if these exist, between you and he, an example could be produced? And who is all of us? Are there other Bi-Polar, er I mean malcontent tards on here incapable of making a coherent argument?
3.' Without proof, I claimed we were all fast food employees'? Really Tasha. Are you the only one that can't see that as a tongue in cheek comment after you lashed into me daring to complain about a biscuit? Keeps getting better and better!

Well. I was going to type, 'Same answer. Moved on to next complaint'. but Dam Tasha '13'. Your just too much fun.
I know this is pointless for you, but I'll type it for the other 'well' informed readers on here.
1. Teasing about Bi-Polar disorder. Anyone who has lived with and endured this dis-order for years, most certainly has earned the right to tease a bit. It is the most common explanation men use these days to explain a woman's irrational behavior. Yes, I did accuse you of having it, and yes you do exhibit typical behavior associated with it. If your just stupid or crazy, so be it. I'll drop the Bi-polar if you do.
2. Coming on to a complaint board to voice a complaint about bad service at a fast food restaurant should not, would not elicit such a vocal outcry as you did right off the bat. BEFORE the infamous comment about you must be a fast food employee! To any fast food employee's on this board with an ounce of work ethic, I hear-by apologize for the crude association with this Tasha '13' person!
3. In this country, it is generally accepted the accuser has the burden of proof. As to these, 'private' rude messages you keep referring to. I assure you, anything I type over a few sentences is delayed and apparently reviewed. So far, no word from the site administrators.

Well, since the Tasha tard is using profanity on here, I can only assume she is right about the administrators are not too strict here. I find it interesting, she won't take me up on producing those 'rude' messages she claims exist. And yet, she is quick to assume I am lying about my exposure to Bi-polar disorder. I can assure you, if anyone here knows someone with it, they know the behavior is very typical of a Tasha type.
I swear, if I didn't know better, I would think I've gotten myself embattle with a bunch of 12 year olds or half wits. I've never seen peeps so ready to dish up unfounded crap and beat their chests claiming it to be the truth! Well, the handwriting is on the wall. This is a complaint board and the only people here are here to complain. Have a nice, rest of your pointless, miserable lives! I'm off to make some other fast food manager's life miserable!

I assume the messages I tried to post here will show up eventually, like the one I reposted three times. I won't try to type all of that again. One point I wanted to make though is this constant referencing about private rude messages, alluding as fact, not an unfounded allegation. Tasha has yet to produce one. Can someone ask the board moderator if any were sent from my user account? If so, I should be admonished for doing so. Most forums have rules of conduct. Just a thought!

No doubt. Well, I can't let my last rebuttal go by unread, so I'll try and re-create it.

Jeannette: My sister is bi-polar. My wife, her mother and sister are bi-polar. I've attended many meetings concerning this disorder. I lived the nightmare of dealing with this disease for years. Yes, I did poke fun at Tasha and accuse her of being bi-polar. Her unsubstantiated continuous ranting is very typical of that disorder. I will additionally comment, this disorder can be genetic in nature and passed down. IF your Grandfather has it, I would keep an eye out as to your own mental health as well.

Sharon: You indicate I am the basher here? I would like everyone to read from the beginning of this thread. I voiced a pet peeve concerning truth in advertising with Hardees and Tasha lit into me. Not the other way around. You indicate you do not believe me about 'private' messages Tasha claims to receive over and over. I asked she produce such a message. Better yet, ask the board mediator to produce it. If any forum standards were violated, they could also address that!
Again, the Hardees manager agreed the employee fixing the poke chop biscuits was not following direction and asking for 'extra gravy' should not be necessary.

Anyway, when we've exhausted this topic, I'm ready for my next major complaint. Not enough mustard and one tiny pickle on my cheese Krystals!

Well, this is interesting. I was signed in, posted two more posts after my reply to Cary, saw them and closed. I received a notice a comment was posted. I re-opened this post, found no new one and my last two are gone. WHAT UP? Right up there my previously posting one three times because one minute it's there, the next it's not. Don't tell me I have a new rant to go on! Improperly running forum here! LOL.

Feb 22, 2013 9:33 am EST

Oh! I didn't read up far enough. First, lets ALL read from the beginning. I voiced a complaint about Hardee's and 'Tasha' lit into me! Not the other way around. Second, my sister is bi-polar, my wife, her mother and her sister are bi-polar. I've been to many classes on it. I live that nightmare every day of my life! Yes, I poked fun at Tasha because she is on a rant and that is very typical of people with Bi-polar disorder. I hope that clarifies my position on this subject, well except for the ones here that live eternally for the next fight!

And I guess I'll try one more time for the Sharon person. You indicate you don't believe me about sending 'private' messages to the Tasha woman. I would only ask her to verify that through this board mediator. I am sure they could produce this message and even admonish me if I violated any forum standards. Hope this helps, but I won't hold my breath!

I will say, this is more entertaining than a 30 min. coffee break. I find it amusing the amount of efffort people will spend, complaining about a complaint. Irony drips. Anyway, for Tasha, who can't read? In no way do you have evidence I sent a 'private' message saying let starving children die. Since I did not do that. Which leads me to the question, 'can you read', or are you just bi-polar and have to have a battle a fight every second of your pointless life. And yes, I did preview your page and saw how feverent you post complaints. All earth saving I might add. Anyway, it was fun and for the record, please review picture attached. I showed the Hardee's manager the picture I originally posted and guess what? Biscuit replaced at no charge and gravy on both sides! Case won. Now on to more important topics. Starving children and when when society impose mandatory birth control so humanity will stop breeding like cockroaches! Oh, almost missed the last Tasha posting. Yes, I sent the editor a message. It appeared that posting failed to post while another one did, so I did multiple attempts. You win that one Tasha.

I can only surmise a couple of the replies here are from fast food employees, which is fine. I can also assert I am not a sheep that takes or does as I’m told by any corporation. If it is a business’s intent to put gravy on both sides of a biscuit, then it is the $8.00 an hour employee’s responsibility to put gravy on both sides of a biscuit. I’ve had this conversation with the local manager in the past and she acknowledged the order was not fixed as it should be. How many times does an individual have to bring an order home or have the pizza guy drop a pizza off and leave, only to find out his order is wrong, before he has the right to complain? This is an issue that has transcended many fast food restaurants over the years and is just one venting. But if you find the magnitude of this one complaint to petty to voice, I will try to limit my displeasure with the fast food industry to bouts of salmonella poisoning or rats running loose in the John.

I guess what Tasha is trying to convey is there is a minimum threshold in this world where complaining is justified and complacency is the norm. I must have missed that chapter where that threshold was defined.

I can only surmise, the bulk of replies are from fast food employees. I can additionally assert, I am not a sheep to be herded by any coorporation. I also routinely fire incompetent employees. If Hardees intent is to put gravy on both sides of a biscuit, then the $8.00 an hour employee should put gravy on both sides of a biscuit. I've had this conversation with the local store manager in the past and she has disclosed that is the case. How many times do you have to get back to your house with an order or have the pizza guy drop a pizza off and leave only to find your order wrong before you have a right to complain? I find people taking time out of their 'busy' lives to complain about other people complaing a bit ironic. Don't you?

You know what Dennis I urge you not to use this website. This admin on this website are not helpful and they allow people like Tasha13 to troll on the website while we are treated like we are the ones in the wrong. I have tried to submit a complaint three times and they would not allow it to go through without approval. This is sad because people like Tasha13 are allowed to post rude comments to other people and not get into trouble for it. (If you click on her username she has 30 pages of comments) Yet when we post we need our posts approved. It seems like this site favors members such as Tasha13 and punishes us just for sharing our experiences.

If that message is for real all it proves is that you requested that you change your username. It does not prove you are innocent of not sending PM's to Tasha, besides if you read correctly Tasha never claimed you sent her vulgar PM's she claimed you sent her one about how hungry children should die of hunger and that to me is not vulgar. Also the fact that you asked for your username to be changed makes me more suspicious. Why change your username if you are innocent. Boy do you and Tasha both like to take things far. You sound like an old bitter married couple.

First of all Tasha I know exactly what you are doing and I have my doubts that Dennis got the letter from the administrators of the site as well. I certainly know William did not. As stated it is very easy to compose something and pretend you got it from the admin as you, William and Dennis are doing. It is also very easy to post as someone else(The future King of England) on here as well. (then again maybe that poster actually believes he is William and is suffering from bi-polar. I do have my doubts however that Dennis's sister is suffering from bi-polar as he claims and believe he is just using that as an excuse for accusing you of having bi-polar.

I already stated that I know that your "letter" from the admin in false, and I think it is the same with the letter that Dennis received from the admin. And as William showed anyone can not only compose a bunch of crap and make it seem like they got the review from the admin but they can also pretend to be the future King of England.(though he may have bi-polar and actually believe he does)

However I do agree with you, I don't think that Dennis has any relatives with bi-polar and think he just made that up so his attacking you does not seem that bad.

Hardee's Restaurants service

I have been over there four times and left three of them. The first time i went to drive through and they said to wait. Then no one came back . I waited about a minute then left . Next time i drove up they said to wait. I did then finily the called back then when the girl was talking to me she was trying to talk to someone else at the same time and I could not understand half what she was saying then she told me to wait agaim so i left. This morning i thought i might fair bettre if i went inside so i stood in line with 4 people in front of me. After about two minutes the man in front of the linf had not received his food and the two other men in front of me had not even had there order taken so i left again. I guess this store does not have time to wait on their customers. I do not think i will waste my time going there again. There is a Wendys up the street that waits on me quick every time i go there.

Hardee's Restaurants disgusting commercials

Hardees commercials are absolutely disgusting! They are extremely inappropriate for daytime tv and shouldn't be on tv at all! The woman on the beach being highly sexual to sell a burger? This is something you'd see on adult late night television which I don't appreciate either! If we want pornography, we can buy it!
I emailed Hardees about this and was told they have a creative commercial production team. At the same time, their site says they want to make every customer happy! GET THIS DISGUSTING, IMMORAL, PORNOGRAPHIC COMMERCIAL OFF TELEVISION!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

The girls on the commercial have a job to do. That's their jobs. The company has money to make, that is their job. You can protest by not buying the food. I personally do not agree with their marketing ploys however, it's 2015 and sex sells. That's the society we live in. I model myself and get trashed talked all the time about participating in these marketing ideas. It's a job. And they are obviously being talked about so it's working, clearly. The idea is to give to society what they know society buys.

I have stopped going to Hardee's...even for a drink...because of their "creative advertisment team"! The commercials are what the genre call "soft porn". Really, do I think men are watching these commercials with any other thoughts than wanting to rip those bikini's right off'...Please! To be crude...they aren't thinking about the meat of the burger...they are looking at her body as though it were meat.
I don't know if being sad about what sells in this country outweighs my anger. And the only thing I can say about these beautiful women is nothing ...because I truly don't get the rationale behind agreeing to aide and abed ...perpetuate the victimizing of women.
So guys who disagree and what to label us who agree with this complaint are Hags and just need to get laid...mercy! If my husband gets turn on by what he watches on TV...or what he watches on the Internet...or mag...or anything else but me...and I receive his attention "second-handed" because he can't have a Victoria Secret model...or a Kate Upton...and HE IS SETTLEING...wow, what a turn off! Cause I could never compete...no matter what. As for our culture...our children...our morals...it is so sad to me to see what on see on TV...

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. ;)

Hardee's Restaurants rude manager/poor quality food

I was hired as a secret shopper to evaluate the drive thru service at Hardees, Harrisburg, IL through Strategic Reflections. Upon completion of the evaluation, the final step is to enter the establishment, request to speak with the manager, review the survey and receive a signature from the manager acknowledging the survey. While the survey is submitted with or without the manager's signature, it is a common courtesy provided by me.
After completing the evaluation survey at store #1500291, Hardees in Harrisburg, IL. I was completing the final step of the evaluation with the manager on duty. He did not agree with some of the results as I had recorded them. At that time, not only did he refuse to accept the copy offered to him, but he also refused to give his name or signature on the survey.
The manager was extremely rude with me simply because I was displeased with the quality of the meal that I received. Besides not wearing a nametag identifying him as the manager, his uniform was filthy, his attitude was rude and unprofessional and the meal ordered (Jalapeno turkey burger) was inedible. The bit that I did consume made me sick a few hours later. I have frequented Numerous Hardees and Carl Jr establishments and have NEVER received such poor food quality while having to withstand a dirty, rude manager after pointing out the shortfalls.

I would greatly appreciate a response from a real person. I can be reached at [protected] or email [protected]@rocketmail.com.
I am not normally the type to submit a complaint. This is the first time that I have ever felt the need to contact corporate.

Hardee's Restaurants rude!!!

I went to hardees to get my breakfast. The women who answered the headset was very rude. I told her my order and she told me she couldn't hear me. So, I told her again. Then her tone got hateful and she told me that she still could not hear me, to pull around. I pulled to the window and she came to the drive thru and told me to repeat my order so I told her again and she said that sense she couldn't understand me she was not going to take my order and commanded me to drive off. I thought I was speaking pretty clear english? If you want my opinion do not eat there. I have went there before (I came inside) and it took forever to hand out and they recooked the fries. I seen them.

You should mind your own business, it's one thing to have a problem with a commercial and explain your point but it's quite another to declare its 'wrong' just because you think so.
Carls Jr/Hardee's commercials have always been risque, it's part of their campaign. There is nothing wrong with these commercials and I've never seen them being played in between an episode of Spongebob or Mickey Mouse's Playhouse. In addition, it's up to a PARENT to make sure their children aren't watching something that a PARENT decides isn't suitable for their kid.
