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.

Wendy’s stay away!

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 hope nobody buys your crap and you are forced to go out of business. You suck!

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.

Wendy’s miller hill mall area location sucks

they ignored us in dt when we tried to order, the workers kept on chatting away while we tried to get their attention. we ended up just pulling forward, and no one would come to the window to give any explanation or to take our order. they would look right at us and then turn their backs and continue whatever enthralling conversation they were having. there was another car behind us too and they held up them getting their order . after nearly ten minutes of this i got out of the car and knocked on the window the lady who was supposed to be taking our order opened it and tried saying we never even said anything to her, but we tried ordering several times and even honked the horn but she ignored us. she refused to take our order at the window, and told to drive back around to the speaker in a very rude manner. we left without ordering. i am a shift supervisor at a different fast food restaurant, and if an employee pulled a stunt like this in our dt they would be sent home with a write up at the very least.you are never supposed to ignore a customer in the dt especially at the window. i will never eat here again and i will tell everybody i know about how much this place sucks.

My 2 yr. old son recently fell and scraped his knee pretty bad outside of one of our local stores, due to grease on the sidewalk from an employee flinging it all over the place. I think they were throwing it into the dumpster. I told the cashiere while I ordered some food for my son and I. While we were waiting for our food I heard her telling someone "I saw the scrape it looks pretty bad and it's still bleeding." They gave him a toy for 3 yrs and older, they didn't even bother to ask me how old he was ! Another careless mistake ! I asked them to clean up the grease so no one else would get hurt but after lunch when we left it was melted on the sidewalk. This store in Sanford, florida located in the seminole center in front of super walmart has NO concideration for its customers and no compassion for little children ! The district manager did contact me the next day and informed me the owner would call me 3 days from then on monday the 9th of march 2009. No one called me, go figure, so I called the dist. manager back. He stated the lady was not back yet she would be back today which was tuesday the 10th of march and to call back around 3:00 p.m. . WHAT?Why should I have to call back? Don't you care about customer satisfaction or small children getting hurt on your property because of a careless employee ?

Wendy’s food service

My fiance and I went to Wend'y February 19 on our way to pay bills. We placed an order for 2 spicy chicken sandwiches, no tomatoe on one and extra mayo on both! We left the drive thru and made our way to pay bills. When we sat down to eat, all we found were the buns with chicken and some mayo. At the time of purchase, there were no other vehicles in the drive thru. it was not a hectic time of day. While making the order, everything came up on the screen exactly how I had asked for it. SO my complaint is why is it so hard to read a ticket? I have worked in a restaurant. I understand the whole food process of taking the orders and filling them. So how is it that one person can take the order perfectly while others neglect the small details. I'm paying Wendy's to get what I want. They didn't give me any money to eat their food! It was way to late to do anything about it because by the time we got home, I was not driving all the way back across town, now in rush hour to get it fixed. It seems like everytime we stop at Wendy's i am very disappointed with their service, whether it's the food is put together poorly or it's a wrong order. For example, one morning on my way to work, I stopped to grab some breakfast. I absolutely cannot stand sausage, so I ordered bacon. I got all the way to work and guess what! There was nothing but a piece of sausage! This is rediculous! And something should be done about it! Why bother spending the money when everything there is so expensive to begin with, if I'm not getting what I want or how I want it?

Their might be new workers their if your orders are wrong but it this happen continuously that means that the cooks didn't use grill tickets; grill ticket are ticket that show special orders to the cook; and the person sending the order through drive through didn't care too look if it was right. so next time when you order something just take 10 seconds just too look inside the food if its right.

Wendy’s lousy expensive sandwidh

Saw the ad on tv for your new fish sandwich. A co-worker and I got one today at $3.69 each. It was lousy. Neither one of us will get it again and with Lent next week, you could have made some money. Another co-worker and her husband got it, too, and thought it was terrible. That's 4 people who will spend their lunch money during lent somewhere else.

Wendy’s playing favorites

I've worked at wendys for eight years and have had problems with managers not doing the reviews on time, paying other employees who know less and do less more than the ones who do and know more. I was told that i needed to work more i now work five days a week and still make less than other people. I am currently making close to minimum wage while every one else is making over that amount. My review for my raise was due August 10 of last year and i haven't gotten a review or a raise. I understand that this is a fast food place but that doesnt mean that employees should be treated like this. I strongly believe that people shoild be judged on their working abilities and not on wether they are the managers favorite. Please try to correct this matter. Eight years is a long time for this to go unchanged. Thank you for time.

Wendy’s dirty and diseased as now my family and I are vomiting, diarrhea

We stopped at Wendy's Hammonton, NJ on our way home from visiting family on 2/7/08 at 8 p.m. The restaurant was dirty, trash overflowing, trash on floor. 30 hours later, everyone who ate there has been vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, fever and no one has eaten together since, we do not live in the same house. The only common event the entire week was eating that Wendy's in Hammonton. Complaints have been issued to Wendy's and Wendy's says "we are aware and address" Then why was it not already addressed if they were aware. Instead of doing something about their dirty employees who are making people sick.

While any person has the right to know what they paid for, there was no reason for you to act the way you did. She gave you your total. All you needed to do was ask her to read back to you what she rung in. In my opinion, you really were asking for too much, especially if the store was getting ready to close. The printer was broken, and it's out of an average employee's control at that point. You really didn't deserve an apology for something she already explained to you just because you feel inconvenienced by a broken printer and not receiving an in-hand receipt. Just a complaint for nothing.

When the receipt printer is broken, it's broken. Unless you had reason to doubt that she rang in your order wrong, or were on the clock for work, it wasn't very necessary to take time out of her (closing!) work schedule to write a complete list of what you purchased, as a total would have sufficed, particularly if there was anyone in line after you, in which case you were holding up them as well.

Wendy’s raw chicken

Last night my fiancee and I went to Wendy's for some (not so fast) fast food. We both ordered Spicy Chicken sandwiches. Unfortunately, about a quarter of the way into my sandwich I noticed an odd texture in my mouth and realized I was eating RAW chicken. I immediately spit the chicken out and looked through my sandwich to find that almost the entire chicken patty was COMPLETELY RAW. I'm on the lookout now for salmonella symptoms, and I pray to God I don't get sick. I've already had stomach cramps and a headache, but I'm hoping these issues are unrelated.
I called the Wendy's corporate office to complain because I'm pretty sure their chicken patties are delivered to the stores pre-cooked (or so they say). I left a message, so we'll see if anyone ever calls me back.

I was also served a raw chicken sandwich from the Wendy's in Woburn Ma. It was late and dark so I didn't realize until a couple bites in, when I couldn't bite theought the sandwich because it was raw. Of course no one answered at the restaurant and their customer service isn't open. Hope I don't get sick!

Hello, my name is Taquelous Cseh and im filing a complaint about my wrongful termination on monday august the tenth. Me and manager Crystal Walters had a disagreement and words were exchanged also name calling.I felt that my side of the story was just as important as Crystal Walters but General Manager Paul Niggeman Didn't take time out to hear my side and he terminated me without documentation. The documentation was written after the fact not while the disagreeing was going on, and i felt that i was wrongfully terminated. I have worked for wendys for two years and 6 months maybe one written statement in my file, i hardly got into trouble and i have had three raises since i've been employed there. I have hired an attourney that said my case is well worth it and would love to represent me and of course something could be done. All i want is my job back at the wendys on memorial, but if i can't receive it then i will have stick with filing my unemployment. I'd very much rather have my job back at memorial. I would like to thank wendys for giving me the time to explain my situation since i couldn't do it at my jobs onsight like i was suppose to. I hate to take it this far but when one person isn't doing there job, you have to go a step higher until you seek justice. Thanks Taquelous Cseh

The same thing happened to us last night. When we called corporate they hung up on us the first time and said since we had a rude tone in our voice they would not help us. We took the sandwhich back to the store and had the same result. Because we were upset they refused to help us. The manager walked away and refused to give us a refund or new food. My boyfriend asked for the owner's information but they just ignored him. He went back in again and this time recorded the whole thing. We actually have it a Wend'y employee on film saying he should have ate the sandwhich and died. I intend on posting this video and will never buy anything from them again. They had nerve to call the police because he wouldn't leve until someone helped him. The police didn't do anything to him. They said they would get him his money back but he said that's okay because it has gone beyond that. All I can say is what if a kid or elderly person ate that sandwhich and died. I according to Wendy's it would have been the customer's fault. All I can say is I hope I don't get sick or die from eating their raw food. Although if I do, it will apparently be my own fault.

Service was slow and grudging. Tthe 'single' burger was dry, with grease visibly congealed. Fries were inedible, the grease, no longer oil, was nasty. My husband had to wait 5 minutes while they figured out that he didn't have his sandwich. The counters, floors, tables and seats were not clean, and had I seen this, we'd have left before ordering.

Wendy’s bad suppervirsor attitude, bad service

it was 12/7/08 at 12;27 am, in wendy's restaurant at Azle, Texas store#4022. / bus#[protected]
I had order a mushroom combo and other meals that day for my family. afther i took the first bite my i noticed a weard taste but keep on eathing, i took a second bite and i comfirm that something was bad in the hamburger, i open the hamburger and taste one of the mushrooms by it self and biside a bad smell it tasted rotten. i whent to complain to the supervisor Araceli at that time and i told her the situation, i also stated that the hamburger was bad tasthing. She reply by saying " you probably don't like mushrooms thats why you didn't like it" i reply why will i order a mushroom hamburger if i don't like mushrooms and she gave me a bad look and walk away towards the back. i asked the cashier to give me another hamburger with out the musrooms. Araceli supervisor over heard and instructor to give me a kids size hamburger plane. I was upset at that time as told her i pay $5.79 for my meal and i wanted something equal value to what i had pay for. Aracely surpervisor reply by saying " you had taken two big bittes off you burger so you will get a smaller one. I was more upset at that time and question her, How do i supposed to thaste the burger if i don't take a bite? she walk away and never came back. the cashier was very nice and gave me another hamburger in dispite her supervisor Aracely didn't approved. I don't think people should be in this kind of business whit bad attitude, specially when they at representhing a big hamburger coorporation like Wendy's and being a suppervisor for the store. I m a good customer of wendy's restaurand but this kind of event and service does not want me to go back to wendy's. thank you for your time and hoppe this kind dont repeat it self.

Wendy’s severe food poisoning

Purchased a value meal around 6:00 in the evening. I ate chicken chunks and french fries, but they didn't seem up to temp. Shortly afterwards, I began to develop excruciatingly painful stomach cramps. They came and went in cycles of about ten minutes. They became so severe that I had to go to the ER where I was diagnosed with food poisoning.

If you eat at this Wendy's, make sure your food is up to temp! I'm never eating there again.

Poisoned by the fries. How do I know. I had fries and a frosty for lunch, got home, had a sandwich and soup. Around 3am I started heaving uncontrollably, a burning sensation in my stomach unlike any nausea I'd ever experienced. When I finally did wretch something up, it wasn't the sandwich, the soup, or even the frosty. It was fries. They had stayed in my stomach and been filtered out somehow and were being violently rejected. Woke up every 10 minutes until I finally passed out around 9am. Super cool time, never going to Wendy's again.

Should have known better than to get a teen burger from Wendy's at 11:30 p.m. Was as sick as a dog. The burger was NOT hot but I was hungry and ate it anyway. I have learned a lesson NEVER EAT ANYTHING AT A WENDYS OR ANY FAST FOOD PLACE especially late at night. The food is crap. Probably been sitting around. Thanks Wendy's for making me sick.

Wendysmanager08. You are a ###. Read your SafeServe guidelines again. This is a requirement of your position. You should know that each different type of organism has a different onset time. Staph is the most common and most likely infection occurring in fast food environments. Two hours. Sometimes sooner depending on the individual. Read this you fool. http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/food-poisoning/tc/staph-food-poisoning-topic-overview

I got food poisoning at Wendy's last night. It hit me about 7 hours after I ate there. I was totally dehydrated and had to be rushed to the ER. I felt like I was going to die. I remember thinking that the burger didn't seem very hot when I ate it, but I didn't start eating it until I got home, so I thought it cooled off. I will never eat there again and will advise everyone I know not to eat there. That was one of the worst nights of my life. From what I have found online this is a huge issue with Wendy's. I hope they get shut down.

It certainly does not take 24-48 hours for food poisoning to take affect. I also got food poisoning from Wendy's, it hit within about 6 hours

That Wendys Manager is a nut case. I got a teen burger 2 days ago at around 11:30 p.m. and had cramps and the s...ts and I am still in discomfort. I NEVER eat in fast food places so I'm paying the price of a piece of crap. WILL NEVER EAT AT WENDY'S.

I have had many bad experiences with this company in the past few years. I live very close to this particular location so i use to frequent this rest. often. It seems that every time that you are there, you are there bugging the employees. I have many stories about this location, but I will only write about my last experience, which was about two month...

Today a manager allowed an employee to walk away from me without serving me because I had reported her for bad service. You don't give customers bad soda over and over again then stop serving them everytime they come back. Last staw! I requested a refill and the employee walked away and asked the manager (Stacey) to help me. The manager would not tell me...

Wendy’s food/employees

Visiting the Wendys in Green Bay WI is horrible. The employees working there look like they have never heard of a washing machine or hygiene. There hair color is from orange to purple to pink. They all walk around like they have no clue on what is happening! You order a sandwich & 9 out of 10 times it is the wrong one. The dining area is filthy! There usually is no one dining inside but every table is dirty & the floor is gross! If every Wendy's is like this I think they should all be shut down! From reading all the complaints I can't believe there are still Wendy's open.

You can't order sandwiches there, they only serve burgers...and there's absolutely nothing wrong with hair dye, if anything, that should promote they would have better hygiene than if they had natural colors. What a lame complaint.

I think you're making a hasty generalization. Just because you've come across a Wendy's that's not up to par doesn't mean that every single Wendy's is exactly the same.

Personally I find it horribly rude to judge hygiene based on hair dye... it's as good as judging someone by the colour of their skin...
