Wendy's Complaints Continued... (Page 32)

Hello, I am a regular customer at Wendys. Last night I ordered a burger, nuggets, and fries. I took a bite out of my burger and it tasted a little funny. I looked at the burger and it was pink all through it and I was and still am highly upset.

I didn't go back up there because I had made it home and im pregnant and my feet are swollen. I didn't have a receipt in the bag but I know the location and the time I went. I wanted a refund because the meat was not cooked all the way. I know there should be something you all can do to try to make this right. I do not live in the city this occurred.

store number #00003392 Starla Jones general manager. over the last 3 months i have ate here at least 20 times i enjoy wendys food or should say i used to. Every time i order a baconator never paid too much attention to the sandwich, a friend worked there and told me that the GM was telling all the crew that they were only allowed to put 3 strips of bacon on the baconator which is suppose to get 6.... this is disturbing so over the last 3 months and 20 sandwiches later i have been purposely shorted 60 strips of bacon. when i call the phone number to the store to complain 423-562-1601 the number on the recepit no answer called 5 times just ring or busy signal. I hope someone can fix this problem i will not eat at a restaurant that knowingly rips off their loyal customers. someone please contact me about this issue my phone number is 4239122238

Claim # 33820-158128 On August 30 night i had eaten 2 Wendy's cheesy burgers and fries had a bowl movement before bed woke up went to work on August 31 . I experienced stomache pain went to bathroom lost a litre of blood fell to floor split my head needed 3 stiches .

Ambulance was called and rushed to hospital for food poisoning. I told every nurse and every doctor what i ate . They all said to be careful and eat healthy. Your claims adjuster Claims pro has offered me $1000.00 dollars and feels this amount is not insulting ?

The adjusters name is Beverly Smith who personaly I do not believe does not represent Wendys best interests at all! I have told her I would settle for $15000.00 out of court no reply !

I lost a weeks vacation going to doctor once for check up second for removing stitches and thirdly for going for colonscopy to make sure I was not bleeding plus i lost a days pay and had to have a family member pick me up from hospital.

Plus I missed a performance at Casino rama with fear i may bleed . With all the bad publicty I share on going and me personaly not frequenting Wendys no longer you have and will continue to loose way more than $1 thousand .

I could have died if this happened while driving to work at 510 am in am ! off country roads in a ditch.

I recently went to Wendy on old kings road in palm coast Florida and ordered two #7s, the food was uneatable, I went back with the food the manager Paula didn't apologize she was very nasty and replaced the food while the nice window worker was very nice. I was sent home with burnt food after driving several miles to return the first. If this food was freshly made then they ate using old oil because it was burnt, greasy tasting and so where the French fries and I never experienced such horrible food from any other franchise before.

My husband and I have been a customer for over 30 years. Whenever we eat out, we ALWAYS preferred Wendy's over any other franchise. Since Dave Thomas has been gone, this corporation is not the same. Many Wendys franchises we have frequented in different states have been and continue to be a huge disappointment. But not as disappointing as Wendy's Store #05108498 (#3159) at 3725 Sun City Center Blvd., Sun City Center, FL. This franchise is the most mismanaged I've ever experienced and today's experience will be the very last.

This franchise is located in the middle of a retirement community of approximately 10,000+ seniors. We have time to be patient and to wait, but the wait time at this franchise is ridiculous and unacceptable. I had requested to speak to the Manager and was waiting and observed the customers in the order line. I counted 11 senior citizens -- 2 had walked in with canes and were supporting their weight by leaning on the railings. There was 1 person available to take these orders. At peak hours, this is unacceptable.

I had returned to the store because the cashier at the Drive-Thru window had again neglected to give me change back from a $20 bill, nor did she provide a receipt and twice had repeated the simple order of "4 small frosties -- 2 vanilla, 2 chocolate - in a carrier". She asked me how many vanilla. Then asked "how many chocolate"? How difficult was this order????????? Then, argued over how much I owed her -- she told me the total was $4.27 -- I told her it was not, it was $4.24 (7% sales tax). By the time she corrected the order and handed the 4 frosties in a carrier, I drove off without receiving my change from the $20 bill I gave her. This was not the first time this had happened -- it has happened more times than I care to recollect -- too many.

I hardly ever complain, but this was the frosting on the cake. I was upset when I returned to the store and that is why I asked for the Manager. The fact that the staff have not been adequately trained is the responsibility of the Manager and that is why I asked to speak to the Manager. The Manger refused to speak to me and sent her staff person "Javier" to handle the situation. I have never been so insulted in my entire life. I will never visit another Wendy's franchise again.

I loved Dave Thomas and I admired his business philosophy -- offer good food for a fair price, franchises were all meticulously maintained, staff were well trained and welcomed customers and bringing awareness to the Dave Thomas Foundation for adopted children, were just a few to mention. I loved and admired him as a young girl and admired his courage when he responded to his customers in the 70's by introducing the Value Menu so that customers could afford to eat out, even during an economy decline. I'm ashamed of what the Wendys Corporation has become. It no longer stands apart from the others.

If anyone is listening, you need to visit some of these franchises under cover so that you can really see how these franchises have declined. You would be embarrassed and ashamed to see what's really happening out there.

Dave Thomas - I always admired you growing up, you were so passionate about the business empire you built. It's a travesty to see how others have destroyed it and taken it from you. I pray you are resting in peace.

It has been a very long time since I had last been to Wendys. My 4 year old said she was hungry and so was I, so we jumped in the car and went a mile down the road from where we live and decided to go to Wendys since I have been seeing the new commercials on your new chicken sandwiches as well I remember a little while ago you changed your fries.

We got up to the window to place our order and I first ordered a kids meal nugget at which point a very rude sounding girl asked, was that all? I then nicely asked her if that meal comes with a drink? she said in an even ruder tone YES PEPSI Products! I then got short with her and said thats all you have is just soda? and then very cocky sounding began to tell me the other choices.

The Girl clearly had other things on her mind then work that day and she had no problem letting it show. I then ordered my meal and proceded to the window to pay. The 2nd girl I assume she would be called the expiditor handed me the food with this angrey look on her face and not even a pleasent "thank you". Once we parked to eat our food we were greeted with the nice tast of cold soggy fries.

My chicken sandwich that I was so looking forward trying was put together awfull and it as well turned out to be cold and dry. Angry I got out of my car and threw both meals in the trash, we then drove out of the parking lot to your competitor across the street Mc Donalds. I normaly would not take this time but I feel someone who has more of a stake in the establishment would care to know.

The location was Putnam CT. the recipt says 2012-12-30 at 03:09:57 PM My recipt # was 18807463. the end of the number seems to be smugged away.

I recently went to a Wendy's for lunch. Sitting by a booth with a family with a baby. I was eating my sandwich and chik=li when this lady(a mom)
placed her baby ON THE TABLE and proceeded to change his poopy diaper. I heard her mention to the father that there were no changing tables in the bathroom. They left and I spoke to the manager who listened to my complaint and hoping he would clean the table immediately.
I left and vowed NEVER to eat there again

My choc Frosty had little pieces of hair through out it... I dip my spoon in it to eat some and I notice it taste funny. When I looked in it, it was little strands of hair.

My wife and I visited your store on Johnson Ferry Rd. Marietta, GA, 30068, on Feb 18th, 2013 at 6.:25PM. We had the single hamburger. When we got to the table we found both hamburgers were black and we could not eat them. Took them back to the counter and presented them to a worker. She said nothing but did prepared us better hamburgers. No one apologized or even acknowledged that the hamburgers were burnt. We have already lost one Wendy's about a mile or so away on Johnson Ferry Rd. If something isn't done soon this store will surely follow. Two people were in the dining room.

Hi. I went to the Wendy's in Cornelius, NC to grab some late night food. It says in giant lettera on the window that they are open till 2am on Thursday nights... However, I pulled up to the menu to order, and no one said anything. I looked at the time (1:06) and waited thinking maybe they were busy... I waited, and waited, called out, beeped my horn... But no one answered. So I drove up to the window, only to see that the people working were closing up for the night. Someone looked at me, but did/said nothing. I'm really not ok with this since it's the better option of the two places that are open late near where I live... :(

I have walked out of Wendy's in weirton wv 2 times in the last wk with ordering because of poor rude and slow service..on 8/28/2013 I stood in line with only I family of 4 in front of me for 26 min without being waited on. The elderly woman at the register was also working he fry station ..two younger female employees were standing at the end of the counter talking and would not even acknowledge me whee I said excuse me...a few wks prior I had to wait in line about the same amount of time because someone brought in a new born baby and all the employees were paying attention to the baby while a couple customers were waiting to order..the one time I did get my food ( drive thru) the order was a chicken sand which when I ordered a bacon burger..

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
On Oct 15, 2012 my husband and I decided to try the new Wendy's that is located on Topsoil Road, Village Mall Plaza, NL. We recieved our meals very quickly, on the way home I was famished so I decided to eat. To my surprise when I opened my burgar (Bacon Classic) I seen a long BLACK HAIR wrapped around the meat and cheese. I returned to Wendy's and informed one of the employees which in fact, was not wearing a hair net, that I found a hair in my burgar. She was extremly rude to me and replaced my burger and sent me on my way. I want to make it known that it is not sanitary to handle food and not wear a hair net, as well that employees of Wendy's need to be concerned about customer satisfaction because the way I was treated was unfair, extremly rude. I feel that I schould of got an appology and more than a replacement buger for the trouble. If this is how Wendy's does business and treats its customers, I will no longer go there and will certainly inform the public of the unsanitary handle of food, poor customer satisfaction.

I went to have lunch today at wendys in hopewell va on oaklawn blvd. After i ordered my food a lady that worked there stood on top of the counter where there drink station was, she gets off the counter without so much as to wipe it down, as the girl thst took our order proceeds to make our drinks she sits her hand on the counter right where the lady stood. Then grabs the lidd with the same hand and covers our drinks, i explained to her what i had just observed and without washing her hands wanted to make me another needless to say it was the mgr that stood on the counter and im explaining to her what happened as no response from her i get a refund and the other lady continued takeing orders and still did not wash her hands. Absolutely disgusted.

I went into the Wendy's on Columbia Ave. In Battle Creek MI on Thursday Jan. 16th around 8:45pm and was not greeted upon entering, then when I began to place my order the gentalman helping me answered a phone call in the middle of taking my order, while another gentalman was standing right beside him the whole time. The other worker then took over placeing my order, I had to tell him twice what drink I needed, because he was more focused on the things going on behind him......then when he finially did pat attension to my order, he then informed me in a VERY smug way that they were out of the drink I ordered as well as the toys for the kids meal that I had also ordered.......this is all during a $1.99 kids meal national marketing campaign! All I can say is what horrible store management and customer service, what is funny about not being prepaired for a area wide campaign/ not making sure your store is stocked! With management like this in such a poor economy.......is not recomended in my opinion.

Went into Wendys on Fairgrove Church road Conover NC. Made my purchase and found one table that was half way descent to sit at. As I looked around more than half of the tables were the same way or worse. As it happened a manager came into the dining room and was asking people about the food. When he ask me I told him the chili was good but the dining room was dirty.

He said" hmm the tables are dirty". He turned and headed back toward the counter. I thought for sure someone would start wiping the tables, but none did while I sat and finished my chili. This is not the first time this has happened as a group of my friends and I go to this Wendys almost every Sunday night. It is a very good store but would hate to see it get ruined by neglect of the dining room.

Tuesday Jan 8th 2013 my wife and I always goes to the wendys located at 370 Main St Fredericton and last Tuesday I always order her the single baconator with just ketchup and cheese and bacon and when I go to the 2nd windows to get my order I always ask what is on that burger and they say just bacon, ketchup and cheese, and i reply ok because my wife is is allergic to all egg products.

I take it home and like always my wife checks her burger and sure enough there is mayo on the burger and we had to through it out. It made us upset. So on Jan 11 2014 we wend to Wendy's and ordered the same meals and sure enough I went through the drive through and confirmed that there was no mayo on her burger and the gentlemen did as the guys in the back because i heard him yell that's right captain. So we went home and guess what mayo on her burger.

They did replace both our means the the issue is that why cant they get our order 's right. if my wife took a bit out of that burger after i repeated that she is allergic to all egg products there would have been a lawsuit...... Our order was fixed and when i was talking to Jeremy he said that he was replacing our orders and giving us coupons for the inconvenience, he replaced our orders but no coupons in the bag. not happy with wendy's and will have to prove them selves again for my family be for i think of going there again

I am complaining about your store in Bartow, Florida. The employees park along the front-side of the reataurant so the customers have to park in far rear. My grandfather has Alzheimers and is handicap and if all of those parking spots are taken along with the front-side spots I have to park in the rear and make him walk to the entrance as I can not leave him in the building by himself. Please speak to the manager(s) at this location and have this problem resolved. Thank you for your time.

At about 730 pm last night, I went to Wendy's on Broadway in Cleveland Ohio and purchased some nuggets and a frosty for my son . When I paid for it, they took my card, gave me the food, and I handed my son his food and pulled off without my card. When I returned 2 hours later, people were walking around looking at me acting like i was invisible. I had to knock on the window and blow the horn, 15 minutes later someone came to the window like "oh, are you the girl that left your bank card? " Im convinced he knew exactly who I was from the beginning and wanted me to pull off without my card for the 2nd time. Now I'm paranoid and Im going to change my card because I don't know what your employees were in there doing with my card.

My name is Gary Messenger. I work in Carborro, NC and eat at the Wendy's on W. Main Street in Carborro. Last Saturday, May 4, 2013 at approximately 3:15 - 3:30 PM (EDT) I walked up to the counter to order a Double Stack, Fries and a medium Coke. There were two employees; a yound balck male and female. It was moderately busy as the two were trying to fill a couple of orders. I was at the counter for maybe 5 minutes and although the employees were working, they found time to talk with each other and a customer that it seemed to me that one of them knew. Whenthe mail emoployee finished with filling the order, he came over to me and said, "I now have time for you." Although he had observed me approach the counter I was not spoken to. Itwould have been nice to have someone say. "I'll be with you in a moment sir" What botherd me was that the two employees spoke to each other , but not to me. Also, their attitude was one of indifference to anything othert than their conversation and what was going on behind the counter. After my order was filled, I spole to the employee, (the male) and told him that I thought his attitude did not make me feel like my business was appreciated nor even wanted. As I fiiled my soft drink and returned to the counter to get my sandwhich I overheard the manager complimenting the employee about how good a job he was doing not even recognizing my concern. This demonstrated his indifference to my concern. As I returned to the counter to pick up my sandwhich, I asked to speak to the manager. He came forward and I told him my name and voiced my concern with how I felt I was treaterd. He did not apologize for I felt and cxomplimented the employee for doing a good job. I sat down and started to eat my sandwhich. While seated, the manager came over to my table and placed the amount of my purchase on the table and told me that I was wrong and keeping his employee happy and motivated was more important than my satisfaction. I said, isn't it important to have the customer motivated enough to return? He replied that, If I was not happy with his resturant and service that I just leave and not return. He'd prefer that I not come back. Thisa was the same manager that I had complimented a couple of weeks earlier for his service and how well the resturant was handled when he was there. I was not loud, I was not abusive in language nor gestures; All I wanted to get across was that I felt that his attention to my presence at the counter was not recognized and what he said to me, "I now have time for you" was quite indifferent and quite insulting. At the present, I have no plans to visit any Wendy's in the future. There are other such resturants that appreciate my business more.

I had a coupon for $2.00 off a premium salad. I ordered the half size premium salad and told the order taker I had a coupon the lady began arguing with me that a premium salad is a large salad, I said that's not what the coupon says, she kept getting louder then said her computer is programmed to take only coupons for the large premium salad.

From what I understand all salads besides a regular salad are considered premium for example spicy chicken salad, apple pecan, etc. I ordered the large spicy chicken salad but before i could make the order someone else got on the mike and started yelling at me.

I asked for ranch dressing and the lady said it comes with lemon dressing, and that is bull because i order this salad all the time. My other complaint is that when i pay my bill with cash the person handling my money is not wearing gloves and is handling my food.

So a few times I have been to Wendy's I have had horrible experiences. One time I ordered fries and asked for ketchup the lady told me they don't have ketchup and closed the door in the drive thru. Anytime the dru thru manager just threw the bag at me and closed the door. Needless to say, I had to wait and blow my horn just to be presented with an attitude becuase I didn't receive my drink. No apology or anything. So when I got home my sprite tasted like seltzer so I figured I would call them to let them know. They picked up and hung up. So I called the survey number with the complaint. Never heard from them. Then the final time I ordered the gentleman at the first dru thru door that collected my money was very nice and well mannered. This gave me hope. Then the second window and my bubble was popped. They didn't give me napkins or straws and once again slammed the door. I called the number and reported the incident and still no answer. As a large company I feel as though they should really care about feedback. Guess I was wrong.

My son and I had dinner at Wendys in Richland's VA. There were only two customers in line in addition to us. The cashier got the person's order in front of me wrong and then the server handed the lady the wrong item and stated , "Is this fine?" The lady left unhappily with the incorrect item. We waited approximately 15 minutes for our food as there were evidently no baked potatoes ready. When we sat down to eat my Cod filet was without the added cheese I payed extra for and the baked potato was cold. I took the sandwich back and watched them add cheese to the same sandwich and hand it back. I ordered unsweetened Wildberry tea due to doctor ordered diet and was given sweet tea. Let me add that this is not the first time that service at this Wendy's has been poor however we live in a small town and my son likes Wendys so I was willing to overlook it. We left the restaurant and I inadvertently left my purse hanging on the back of my chair. I realize of course as the manager stated when I returned that Wendys is not responsible for items left in their lobby. They are however responsible for the caliber of people they hire to run and work in and represent their company. When I returned I was told by the cashier that a curious couple had returned my purse and she had given it to the manager and he had put it in the safe. When I received my purse a $100 bill was missing! I work full time and am a full time student and mother of three. This money was set aside to pay bills! I was told the general manager could not be reached that she was on vacation. He gave me an 800 number and said he did not know who it was for. He said there were cameras and when he had time he would review the video but otherwise he was sorry he could not help me. The cashier immediately left as she smiled and said ," Have a nice day " I felt hurried out of the restaurant. I left and filed a police report. I suppose I am naive but I grew up in a time when a company cared about the customer. This particular location gone beyond taking away my faith in the honest American hometown restaurant. I will not eat there again and you better believe I will share my experience. I would hope as a corporation Wendys cares enough to investigate the poor service and management of the Richlands VA location!

My cashier's name was Mike and Manager was Devon Johnson, I went to Wendy's 08/16/2013 at 02:01 pm
I asked for our Burgers to be a certain way, told them my son was allergic to the point of death, got to window they were wrong on both of my kid's orders. I told the cashier and he said umm noo.U said no bun I said NO I said No Bun and only let it be Meat, Cheese and Onions he is deathly allergic to condiments and bread. And I went to hand food bag back, he said I cant take it back so it is uselss to us now. I said ok well what do u want me to do with it, he then rudely announced to another employee Oh My God we got a whiner.. She seen I heard and moved out of sight. I said do u want this bag back? Cause I need the order like I asked for it to be. He said No I can't take it back and resell it now can I. I said damn, I just want my food the way I ordered it. He hesistated then said Oh My God get it for her then. And the other burger that was messedup I told him I;d eat it and get his at mc Donalds next door he said well ok then, god bye. I said Id be writting or calling management he said ummm ok.. And turned away and never came back to window.

I know an employee who works for the Wendy's franchise within the Western New York area, I recieved a phone call on 12/3/2012 that he/she would be pushed down to a part time employee in order for your Corporation to save money because the company has decided that they do not want to be bothered with covering the employees insurance coverage once Obama Care proceeds to the next step. They decided they wanted to begin early, so by January 1st all employees except for managers would be cut down from what ever they had been working for throughout their employment history to 28 and lower. I find this very unfortunate because with this day and age men and women are searching for opportunities within any company to be able to try to afford rent, groceries, and car insurance on a minimum wage paycheck and now your corporation is helping them to struggle more as if they already are not to begin with. No it is not easy searching for a job, or snapping your fingers to get a brand new car. Just because the CEO's of the company decide they do not want to pay for their employees because they are covered under insurance and they have roof over their head just shows exactly what this corporation cares about. You'd think to have a great business that is successful is that you take care of your employees, i personally work in sales and i make sure that my salesmen and women are happy because if they are not their not going to sell and I'm not going to make money. Besides increasing your prices to an outrageous price for food thats a heart attack waiting to happen was one step closer to me realizing i will never eat at your corporation again, exspecially now with the idea of saving money. I find it disgusting and ignorant. I will tell every person I come into contact with about this, because it is truely unfortionate since you have multiple locations that are bringing money on a daily basis.
