Don't you hate ordering from a fast food place? There's always that worry that the order may have been screwed up by someone either too lazy to complete their job to the best of their ability or, someone who made a simple mistake. I ordered from Wendy's today. "Two plain burgers, no cheese, no anything. Diet coke, and fries please". To which the voice replied, "Two plain burgers, nothing on them, fries and a diet coke". I got home and opened my brown bag, immediatly the smell warned me of what I would find moments later. I opened the burger wrap to find lettuce, ketchup, and lots of other gross stuff smothered all over my burger. I'm a simple man and I like a simple lunch, none of that extra stuff, give me meat and bread. My only solution was to find a hamburger roll in my house and use the two sides as new tops on my spoiled burgers from Wendy's.

Soon Beckner will visit and tell us the pains and struggles of a fast food employee, and how I shouldn't complain that my burger was not plain.  :D

But still, my heart sank opening that bag.  :violin

Yeah, I hear you. Some simple concepts just get messed up along the way. That said, I love me a Wendy's burger.

Asshat.

Wendy's is only good for one thing, their spicy chicken sammich.

With Only Mayo, Lettuce, Pickle and Cheese.

That's the secret. You gotta use the lingo that the employees use. If you want a burger with Nothing, say Plain. There's usually an Order key with that option. If you want more of something, say Extra. If you want the standard sandwich with some additional stuff, use Add. If you want to completely f*** their heads and change it up completely, With Only.

Anunciate clearly and check the burger before you roll out. And if they screw up, you might just get to keep the wrong order too. Someone will eat it.

Harvey's is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't speak take-out jive, dig?  If they can only understand the words on their O Holy Register, they need to find a less complex job that requires a mop and water.

with ya all the way, H&V...I've learned to say "single chese plain", but I still check it 'fore I leave...The only thing Wendy's is good for is the Frosty...

this thread made me hungry, and I have no access to a vechicle.

curse you all!!

Which is not to be confused with y'all, or even all y'all.

Wendy's makes the best french fries, bar none.

I think Wendy's has the worst fries!!!...they are so dry! At least they are in any Wendy's in Toronto...I go for the chili...in fact you can dunk the fries in chili...I must say...you have to get a meal at the right time too...sometimes Mcdonalds fries have been sitting in the heat lamp for too long...but when they are fresh...pure heaven!!!

I ate at a McDonalds several hundred miles from Manila, in the Philippines recently, and I will tell you...it tasted exactly the same as in North America...

Harvey's is awesome for the onion rings and the fact that they make it in front of you means that they don't get the order wrong!

I just ordered from Wendy's again. I can now say that Wendy and I are at peace.

Who likes to dip the fries in the frosty?

Guilty! Though I prefer BK fries over Wendy fries, yet I prefer a Wendy's Frosty then a BK Milkshake...

hmm... :smash

I've never had bad food from Wendy's. From both Burger King and McDonalds i've had meals that tasted like old and dried up rats. Milkshakes that tasted like bad milk and contaminated flavoring. Wendy's has always had the freshest food, and meat actually resembling the familiar meat of cow rather than a small furry rodent.  ;D

Harvey's is good for that, too, but I also prefer the Wendy's burger to the rest.

Hey Rere, maybe you'd like to work there and see how stressful it is. I'm offering "Tips from the Pros" as it were since I once did 4 yrs in the back of a McDonald's. A good time overall, a bit like the military, you really learn how to work and not be a sniveling bitch.

here in town we have a KFC/Taco Bell restaurant, and I sit in the drive thru window and go through each item in my order before I even leave the window...I truly am speechless about the place, I can attest that my order is correct about once out of every 5 times, for real.  I like the food, but will back up the drive thru line to make sure they do it right the 1st and 2nd and sometimes the 3rd times. 

All hail the TacoChicken.

I so wish there was a one of those hybrids in town. Sometimes you just wanna be able to dunk your choco taco in gravy.

There used to be one that was KFC/TacoBell/PizzaHut.  Kind of odd.

I call the joint "Colonel Bell's"

I've been to a Taco Bell/KFC/Long John Silver's. It's gone now (just the LJS part).
