I was treated disrespectfully by the cashier and called the supervisor who said I was "a problem" and call "ignorant"
On Weds, 1/25/23 at about 11A-12;30P I went into the Countryside, I Wendys and ordered, value fries and a senior drink. The male cashier then proceeded to cut me off and ask was it to go or here. I gave him my order again and said it is for here. He then went on to correct me by saying they were called some other name now. When my order was ready he put the fries in a bag, touching them with him hands and wrists. He gave me a cup that is used for the frosty for my drink. I told him my order was for here. He started to correct me again by telling me to just wait a minute. I asked for the manager to come because he started to lecturing me. The manager came up and instead of apologizing and turning the situation around, he immediately said, you are always a problem. I asked him when have I been a problem? I then said just give me a refund and I can leave. I put the receipt and change and bag of fries back on the counter. The manager is still talking and accusing me of whatever came to his mind. The cashier was picking up the receipt, change, and bag of fries and agreeing with the manager, he tried to give me change, I said you owe me $2, he handed it to me. I proceeded to leave he said, you are just ignorant, how am I supposed to know that you get $2 back. I chose not to respond to being called a name by a person, who is supposed to be in charge of diffusing a volatile situation, who is supposed to set an example not only for the company but to the employees as well as the other customers that were in line. I waged a complaint @Corporate and have not heard back from the District Mgr. I have been patient by waiting a week. I plan to speak with Better Business Bureau to see what other recourse I have. Never in my life have I ever been spoken to that way and I have lived 74 years on this earth.
I want an apology from this supervisor and he needs some training on ethics and customer service. I have been attending Wendys since back in the day when you had the Potato/Salad bar. He and his treatment of me have made me decide to not ever attend a Wendy again and that is the only fast food restaurant that I frequent because I like your adoption program and the courtesy drinks you give to the seniors. Thank you for at least reading my complaint.
Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response, I want an apology from this person and I want for him/her to receive training for better customer service.
Big bacon classic rip off
I have been a Wendy's customer for over 40 years and have been satisfied every I visited except one. I just completed a long drive from Virginia to Mishawaka, IN. in July, 2022. I was starving and wanted a "Big Bacon Classic". The Wendy's at 6526 Grape Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46545 presented me with a sad joke of a burger. I've attached a document to display how bad traumatic this event was vs. your advertised photo. Thank you in Advance, Kirk Passopulo
Desired outcome: Would like some coupons to allow me to procure proper product that I paid for and to convince me why I shouldn't boycott Wendy's forever.
Staff: refusing to wait on customers
Indian land SC 10:15 pm 1/23/23 No one to take order, no one at the window. Waited over 15 minutes. Staff was sitting in dining room, ignoring myself and the person behind me. I usually do not use this Wendy’s due to the fact they are unbelievably slow! I have experience rude staff on several occasions. I decided to stop because no one was in line, waste of...
Read full complaintIncomplete order
I was at the Wendy's in Shirley, NY on 1/29/23. I usually don't have a problem/complaint worth submitting. I ordered a combo and a baked potato, no sour cream was in bag, 1 napkin, no utensils for baked potato, no receipt (I had to ask window person how much was going on my debit card because I had coupons — they don't calculate until the window). Very disappointed!
Desired outcome: Would like at least a free meal or two. I frequent Wendy's for their food. Their service is left to be desired.

False advertising of grilled chicken sandwich.
According to the website:
"Herb-marinated grilled chicken breast topped with smoky honey mustard, crisp lettuce, and tomato, served on a warm toasted bun. See if it isn’t the best chicken sandwich you’ve ever had."
"Grilled Chicken Breast: Chicken Breast, Water, Seasoning (Salt, Natural Flavors, Corn Maltodextrin, Dextrose, Spices, Dehydrated Garlic Powder, Dehydrated Onion Powder, Paprika, Gum Arabic, Yeast Extract, Canola Oil, Sodium Citrate, Sugar), Potato Starch or Modified Food Starch, Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum, Soy Lecithin, Contains 2% or Less of Sodium Phosphates. CONTAINS: SOY. GRILLED, CLASSIC, AND SPICY CHICKEN BREASTS ARE CUT ON A COMMON CUTTING BOARD, WHICH RESULTS IN CROSS-CONTACT WITH WHEAT, AND SOY ALLERGENS."
Instead, it should read
"A juicy chicken breast marinated in our unique, fiery blend of peppers and spices to deliver more flavor inside and out, cooled down with crisp lettuce, tomato, and mayo."
"Spicy Chicken Breast: Chicken Breast Fillets with Rib Meat, Water, Seasoning (Salt, Sodium Phosphates, Modified Potato Starch, Spices [Including Celery Seed and Mustard], Gum Arabic, Spice Extractives, Paprika, Extractives of Paprika, Extractives of Turmeric). CONTAINS: WHEAT. COOKED IN THE SAME OIL AS MENU ITEMS THAT CONTAIN WHEAT, MILK, EGG, SOY, SESAME, AND FISH. GRILLED, CLASSIC, AND SPICY CHICKEN BREASTS ARE CUT ON A COMMON CUTTING BOARD, WHICH RESULTS IN CROSS-CONTACT WITH WHEAT AND SOY ALLERGENS."
I made the mistake of ordering two Grilled Chicken Sandwiches, plain (bread and chicken only) and one Grilled Chicken Sandwich, with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. All three were so spicy I had to throw them away. Not everyone can eat spicy food and Wendy's needs to remember this. This is the last $30 I will ever spend, or the last dollar for that matter, at a Wendy's. Only the six piece nugget and fries were salvageable, and they weren't for the adults. Even the Frosty was wasted because someone put it in a container that we couldn't open. In trying to pry the lid off, most of it landed in the floor.
They will probably try and blame this on Covid-19 too. Since 2019, this chain has been going downhill. If people have to watch what they eat, and a chain doesn't respect customers enough to correctly advertise what is in their food, it puts people at risk. They must assume that everyone can eat spicy food without a problem. Not everyone can.
Desired outcome: Correctly advertise as SPICY and have a senior menu or mild menu for those on special diets.
Customer service
Friday, January 27, 2023, at 6:15 P.M. I went to the Wendy's in Dillsburg, PA on RT 15. I told the cashier I had a coupon and what part of my order was and she told me the register wouldn't let her add the coupon with a combo order. The cashier was arguing with me about the coupon and finally went and got the manager on duty who also argued with me about the coupon and told me I was harassing her cashier. I asked the manager if arguing with me about the coupon was worth losing an order for a family and her response was that she didn't care about the order or the price. She kept insisting I was being rude, so I asked her if she didn't want to keep the customer happy to keep repeat business and she also didn't care about that either. The manager on duty doesn't seem to know or care about customer service and how to talk to or treat paying customers. I told her I would file a complaint about the service, and that didn't seem to bother her either and told me I could do what I wanted. This kind of unprofessional attitude is unacceptable coming from a person who works in customer service. It doesn't matter if it is a fast-food restaurant or not management should always be respectful.
Desired outcome: Customer services classes/training for the management so they know how to treat and talk to customers in a more professional manner.
Working at Wendy's 12121 did not get pay check and managers and employees smoke weed in building and outside on the clock
Randall Brown is the manager at this store 12121 in Elk City, Oklahoma 73644. He does not need to be the manager here! This company has a company of pot smokers here. If you want to join the people who are okay with this. which leads to unclean, lazy, steal food, eat when they are hungry, ex after smoking weed. Not following the handbook. Why have a hand...
Read full complaint and 1 commentService was bad.
I waited for 15 minutes, because they said it was shift change. Then I ordered a 5 dollar biggie bag for my kid. The food wasn't not hot and I asked after waiting the 15 minutes could they make the food fresh. Jennifer had an attitude. Then she came back to the window with hot fries but my burger was over cooked and dry looked old. I don't think the young...
Read full complaintService st drive thru
Went to Wendy's at 12:30 on a Wednesday afternoon when we arrived we were the ninth car at the drive-thru when we left 22 minutes later we were still the 7th car at the drive-thru we watch people walk in the store and walk right back out don't know what the problem is but their service is terrible this is not the first time but it is the longest we've waited and we never did get our hamburger too bad because we love Wendy's but we won't go back to the one in Sun City Center anymore
Desired outcome: Please hire or train your employees to be more efficient and it would not hurt to have them more friendly when you'd finally do get to the drive-thru

Read full complaintincorrect order
on 01/20/2023 i purchased a plain classic chicken sandwich and was given a single bourbon bacon cheeseburger. I work 1 mile from this store [protected]. every week at least once they give me the wrong order. I don't have time to go back I get thirty minutes for dinner at work. I quit complaining because they wanted the receipt which they don't give you in less you ask for it so i started doing that to show them and get my sandwich replaced. I am tired of wasting my time and money going back so I just quit asking for a replacement and just deal with it but this needs to stop. I can't afford it anymore plus I am tired of going without dinner I work nights. I enjoy your food just tired of getting the wrong order at least once a week.
Desired outcome: Would like my meal replaced and please stop giving me the wrong order
Place is a mess. dirty
The Wendy's in Morris,ill use to be out favorite fast food place. Now the Wendy's is a falling apart. Dirty bathroom and dinning area, Food is not the same quality as before. Tell me...HOw do you mess up a baked potato.
You better do something. the place was empty, even the drive up. And of course, we won't be back.
The music was too loud, by
They say this is too short, WELL to bad. what can I say.
Desired outcome: FIx it.
My visit
Went to Wendy's on Memorial Dr in Lancaster Ohio and that place was a mess. The floors were greasy and at my age I can't afford to fall. The gal at the register was slow. She had trouble finding the items as people ordered them. The employees were walking all over each other and a gal there waiting for 2 orders for grub hub waited quite awhile to get her food. She was still waiting when I left with my food. A coke machine was empty too. There needs to be more discipline with the employees. They need to help one another even if it's not their job. It was chaos. This location needs a lot of corporate help. A lot of customers were sliding on the floor too. Please send someone down to check out this location. It needs a lot of help and changes. Thank you.
Desired outcome: Clean this location up and get someone in there to run it better.
Service/burger
Ordered burger with reward in cart at restaurant. Server said reward would not work because I wanted a combo. Had to continue to explain I would pay for fries and drink, but the burger would be free because I had so many points in the app. She was very rude... very very rude and kept telling me I had to pay full price. Stated she didn't know what I wanted her to do but that was my problem I finally came in to have this issue resolved. Manager comes over with an attitude but proceeds to finally resolve the issue only to then serve me an un-cooked pink burger (please see photos). I am outdone and needless to say took a couple bites before I realized this. I was sick for 2 days. I want something done or I will be calling my attorney. This is ridiculous and I am not letting this go!
Desired outcome: I want all my money back and a personal injury settlement check.
Poor service, insulting worker.
Friday THE 13TH. Stopped in at 9:00 am. Give a simple order (bacon, egg, and swiss. Told them just normal size. $7.32. At the window, they wanted to charge me $7. 85. Why I asked. Oh, we gave you a large coffee because we don't have small cups. Really? Told them I wouldn't pay for their problem.
They reduce the price to $6.76 (must have known I was a senior). Gave me my coffee. Then they asked me to pull forward and wait, which I did. As I waited, I watched 3 customers get their food at the window. Still no food.
This was a simple order. I pulled back to the window and asked what the problem was. "We will bring it out to you". 5 more minutes, I decided to go in and get my food. Asked why it took so long and was told it was cooking.
"You don't want under cooked food, do you?" she handed my food.
It is now 9:30! So unprofessional, and insulting! OK, now my coffee is cold,
The sandwich is cold, oh, but my potatoes were piping hot!
Won't be going there ever again! If I didn't have to give them a star, I wouldn't!
Desired outcome: fix the problem, tell the manager, refund my money
Product
For years I have been a loyal Wendy’s burger addict. Just ask my husband who cleans my vehicle.
Yesterday Jan 5 @4:30 pm we dined in @ your Landsdowne St location in Peterborough Ont. Can. with my grandsons to the tune of $42.
I need to inform you that your fries are just awful. I have been to the Chemong Rd. and Landsdowne St locations both in Peterborough, and have come to the conclusion I will no longer be frequenting your restaurant, after years of loyalty, as we like our fries. What a disappointment-four orders - and all barely edible.
You need to upgrade, as I am not a happy customer!
Desired outcome: Improve on your product quality. If I had shares it would be “sell†for sure.
Blacklisting a former employee
I would like to commend the employee, Halie Booth, aka Waffle House Wendy, for her exceptional conduct in defending herself and the other employees at her Waffle House restaurant. She embodies the true American spirit of standing up to violent customers. It is now reported that she is bared from employment at all Waffle House restaurants - Known as blacklisting. I have always considered Waffle House as a good place to eat at a fair price. Until I hear of this travesty of blacklisting an exceptional employee is reversed and that she is rewarded for her bravery and conduct against anarchy, I will reframe from patronizing Waffle House restaurants.
Desired outcome: Waffle House needs to reward Halie and extend a job offer and promotion to her and publicly commend her.
Garlic sauce could kill
On or around the last of Dec. I was approached by open close manager Lora Hercules Bowman she proceeded to tell me and few others Melissa, Jessica, Amber that if you put the Wendy's new Garlic sauce in the microwave you could KILL SOMEONE. SHE REPEATED THIS TWICE. I read your conduct for managers police it would be upsetting if this wasn't pushed to the top of the complaint list. Please take action accordingly. Wendy's garlic sauce could kill someone Lora explaied to her crew. Let's hope not and if it's that easy to spread bad karma about Wendy's food why is she a manager according to the conduct code? Lora could not hold that title of manager if the code was followed. Thank you for looking into this complaint it's very disturbing like closing the lobby on New Years day with customers trying to come in and eat, not enough help she says with 5 employees at that location and at that time. The lobby at this location is closed more than it's open due to lack of management.
Angela Hodges 865.507.0063
Desired outcome: Most likely dismissed as those are words that people don't forget easily and for the ones she told that to, we don't eat the garlic sauce
We have received your comment. Thank you!
