I'm really mad at Wendy's...

[MinisterofDOOM]

I just left to go get some grub at Wendy's. I pull up to the drive up window and wait. It's about 1:45, so I give them a few minutes. Then a few more. I keep waiting. No big deal, I'm not in a rush. Every once in a while, an employee walks past one of the four windows looking straight out at my car and just stares stupidly. A car full of kids pulls up behind me. They are far less patient and start honking. I get out and tell them about the stupid idiots in the store. The kids drive off. By now its about 2:05. What the HELL?? I pull up to the window...no one cares. They notice, but don't care. I pull up more, where someone is cleaning the main dining area. He stares at me blankly, stupidly, and keeps cleaning. Then I read the open schedule on the door. They are only open till 2 am on weekdays. But...for the last three nights I have gone and picked up food at 2:30 or thereabouts. Weekdays. All of them... What the HELL???

The thing that bothers me isn't that they were closed...that's fine. It's that not one of the stupid ignorant, blank-stared morons bothered to use the conveniently placed intercom that was right to the side of my car, and had all its lights on, as though ready for an order, to tell me they were closed. They just stared. Blankly. Idiotically.

I worked at a pizza joint for a year and a half. We had a drive up window without even the speaker...just the window. But if someone pulled up at 15 minutes to close, we took their damn order. We didn't act like we were already closed. We didn't just stare blankly at them out the window, as though through ESP they could sense that, even though all the lights were on and they had made a purchase at the same time---even later--last night, we were still closed.

So now I had to go to Walgreens. The only place anywhere near my job. Where all they have is candy bars, bags of chips, and slim jims. When I could have had a nice, warm, freshly prepared spicy chicken sandwich.

I'm not in a good mood. Where's my damn slim jims?

[krazy skwerel]

Yeah man back when I worked fast food we would always get customers right at close. I looked and smiled at a girl working drive thru one night and the customer saw me. He refused to take the food saying I had done something to it. What a *****. Wendys is usually pretty good about taking orders late around here. That sucks though man. I work 3rd shift as well so I feel your pain on the eating situation.

[JESTER]

Dude, don't be hating on Wendys. "Quality is our recipe." I use to be head burger flipper at the local Wendy's back in the day. And Dave Thomas is one of my personal idols.

Learned the trade of the food industrie working for the master Colonel Harland Sanders. Colonel Sanders is also a personal hero of mine. A man that was not good at anything and failed at pretty much everything except frying chicken, and being one heck of a franchise salesman.

Anyway, they need to get rid of the dill weeds, and get some good people who won't stare at you, so you can start liking the best burger joint in the world.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Don't get me wrong man. I love Wendy's. Probably my second favorite burger joint right after Crown Burger. The one near my house, and the one near my parents house have both been exemplary as far as fast food service goes...and the one by my parents house is a training store. The one near my job is probably just one of those oddball ones that has a crappy manager or something.

I know from experience with Pizza Hut that some stores are incredible...and some stores suck. It's the reason I drive ten minutes back to the store I used to work at when I want pizza. The one where I live sucks bigtime.

[Drift Machine]

Yeah I'm mad at Wendy's too. I'm mad that they are still in business that place is absolutely horrible.

[SeVa-S13]

There must be some really crappy people working at your Wendy's, bro, because they generally rock my socks, hard.

In fact, I think I'm gunna go get some right now.

[Jesda]

I had the same problem at a local Wendy's. All I wanted was some nuggets.Their nuggets + honey mustard = booyeah!The nugget IS the best part of a chicken.

It was 20 minutes before close, and they just kept looking at me and cleaning while I sat there at the window.

White Castle was across the street and saved the day (just like the movie).

[GEO]

Well once they shut the grills down for the night thats it... They aren't gonna fire them up again cost it would cost them more money then they would make off your sale.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Then don't shut them down before close!It's not that difficult to understand.

[fiznat]

dude what do you expect from wendy's employees?? seriously, second to KFC, wendys hires some of the most low quality people I've ever seen... It seriously blows my mind that a JBC is so good despite the workforce there... but still: dont expect anything special outta them.

[Jesda]

You know, White Castle never closes. A shame I've never seen one west of the Mississippi though.

[nametakennow]

On Debate trips we find ourselves at Wendys at all hours of the night because that's the coach's favourite. Every one I've been to (which is damn near everyone in the Atl area) has been generally good... and the look on their faces whenever a school bus full of creepy looking nerds slinging words they can't even fathom and ideas they couldn't care less about marches up is... well... in a word, priceless.

[Jesda]

LOL! The memories of debate. Teenagers walking around with little or no sleep on a college campus babbling about Deontological Ethics.

I accidentally got my team drunk one night before the tournament. (Yes, accidentally) I'm surprised anyone was able to function.

[base9se]

It's just bad service all the time I go to Wendy's now. Their food is good, but the employees are just pure 'tards! Ask me what sauce I want for my chicken strips and not give me any. Why ask?!

[Ace 2.0]

i used to work at wendys and yes they do suck!!!!!!!!!

[gabossie]

I don't bother with Wendy's anymore, just Carl's Jr. Sure, they're tards too, but at least I can get an entire spicy chicken sandwich meal on sourdough for under $4, and it's damn good and open 24/7. What do you expect from fast food though, it's a teens first job, or a creepy retards (not literally) career, can't expect them to give a ****.

[nametakennow]

LOL! The memories of debate. Teenagers walking around with little or no sleep on a college campus babbling about Deontological Ethics.

Dead on. If I had a quarter for every nasty hotel room I've crashed for 4 hours in with 3 other guys before falling out of the bed, rolling into the shower, and flopping onto the bus in a 3 piece suit... man...

Yaknow what? Screw quarters, I think girlfriends... yeah, cause then I'd be a true pimp. BAHAHAHAHAHA!

I guess that's the thing to it, there's something gratifying about babbling about societal welfare, mass extinction, Politics DAs, nuclear wars... Oh memories of Policy... thank God I'm out of that hellhole... now it's on to Intelligence Czars, public opinion polls... /dork

[jdmfreak]

Spicy Chicken=BANGIN!

Id probably kill if I was denied the right to have it.

[fiznat]

dude the spicy chicken isnt even all that good.

J . B . C .

[MinisterofDOOM]

Man, a fresh, hot, crispy, steaming Spicy Chicken Sandwich is where it's at. That and a big order if equally fresh, hot, crispy, steaming fries. And a can of coke that's dripping from the ice it was just pulled from.

Drooling yet, jdmfreak?

[The Mic]

nice to know that people are stilll eating the piss and crap they call fastfood

[prigo]

HOLY EFF, SOMEONE CALL TEH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHMBULANCE!

[thekage]

You know, White Castle never closes. A shame I've never seen one west of the Mississippi though.

come to st louis.. we abound with White Castles!

[prigo]

Los Angeles has no White Castle

[AZhitman]

I'm reading a book right now called "Fast Food Nation". Interesting.

Anyway, Carl's Jr. pwns ALL.

I don't eat fast food anymore really, unless you count Jack in the Box's Asian Chicken Salad (or Southwestern Salad).

[Jesda]

come to st louis.. we abound with White Castles!

I'm in St Louis, but I mean, further west of here, I dont think even KC has one, do they? Apparently the frozen ones arent bad.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Just got back from the same Wendy's. Food's hot, tasty. They even remembered my honey mustard. But the forgot the straw for my drink. Dolts.

Ah well...I've got spicy chicken goodness to eat...

[JESTER]

The service has went down hill, a tad, but the food more than makes up for it.

A double with cheese, biggie chilli, and biggie fry. With a cheerwine to drink, depending on location. Some of y'all just ain't that lucky to get Wendy's and Cheerwine. Too bad.

[180fan]

Damn man you guys with the whitecastle are lucky. After seeing the damn movie, my buddies and I went to Albertsons to try them out (had them in the freezer section) but when they ran out, oh man that was terrible. lol

[Drift Machine]

Taco Bell pWns all!!
