Wendy's faces significant operational and service quality challenges across locations. The most critical issues are poor customer service from rude/inattentive staff, excessive wait times in drive-thrus, and consistent food quality problems (cold, old, or incorrectly prepared items). Additionally, health/safety violations, broken equipment, staffing shortages, and unresponsive management create a pattern of customer dissatisfaction that is driving repeat customers to competitors.

To Whom it may concern;Today at 12:12pm, we placed an order online for delivery from your restaurant #00001902. Of the last 10 orders we've placed, curiously 9 of them have been incorrect or missing items. Today was different, only in that when I called the restaurant to explain that there was an entire meal, including the drink, missing.

The first man that answered the phone identified himself as BJ and that he was a manager. After explaining the situation, he told me he packed the bags himself and everything was there. There were the stickers that sealed the bags and they were intact on delivery.

He said that he personally packed the order and that my Door Dash driver had apparently taken our order. When I was explaining that was not possible as he said he had himself packed the order,…

I went thru the drive thru Wendy’s store number 3132 address 1200 east sibley blvd, dolton il. on Nov 5 24. My cashier was trice.

First of all when I get to the pick up window to pay. They were too concerned with me backing my car up in order for the wait time to decrease. Upon getting my drinks I asked which one was a diet and they’re response was I don’t know I didn’t make it and tried to push the order to me..

after I asked if they could find out, I noticed my drink was not correct and they got very defensive and demanded to see my receipt and clearly showed they gave me the wrong drink. My whole experience was very rude customer service!

Ballard location at 2:32 pm male drive thru person works at Wendy’s was yelling and barely spoke English and then pulled up to window and he slammed window in my face and didn’t want to accept my money and asked for different money. When nothing was wrong with it.

I’m terminal and dying of cancer stage 4 lymphoma and he treated me absolutely poorly! And even the cars behind me he did same thing too. UNACCEPTABLE rude behavior.!!! ’

I have never felt so ripped off as did after ordering the new crabby patty for my child. He expected it to be special and something Sponge Bob yet no it was nothing more than an overly priced single burger and small fries and then that frosty.

How could you prey on children like that and then charge $15 for that crap. Really these are kids and thinking something special they are getting. I will never and I mean never spend another penny at Wendy’s again. Preying on kids like that is a down right crime.

Me and my brother showed up at your Ormond beach Florida location at 7:00pm Thursday the 29th of August. We wanted to order dinner and dessert for 4 people to go. They kicked us out if the lobby saying they were short staffed and couldn’t take our order unless we went through the drive through.

There were 5 employees in the kitchen. Upon going thru the drive thru after being refused service inside and both bathrooms out of service we were denied service at the window because they didn’t want to make food and said we could have a cookie?? Never again!

Absolute worst customer service at drive thru Wendy’s in Manistee. Around 6:10pm on 8-28-24 Blonde girl working drive thru was horrible. Maybe they just finished a rush I don’t know but there were not many cars at that time. She literally one handed almost tossed the food and salad into our car.

Over filled the water so it was spilling g out the top while tossing it out the window. Then it of course spills onto child. Food was spilled all over in the bag from being tossed. And don’t get me started on her lack of customer service.

The tone was rude she was very short not a hint of friendliness at all. Now I get why the other places had longer lines than them.

85 Handed my order and headed home, once there found that i received wrong order completely, ok no problem waited in drive thru line drove up to window and said i got wrong order but got nothing but static from person at window ,should have known i got wrong order and cant help you.

everyone that came up for food had tp go elsewhere. Not the proper thing to do but i was treated very poorly so i took action and cost a few customers to go to another store. Am not happy about the situation but was treated unfairly and did not think this was right.

Employee told me it was my fault that i got wrong food but they were very busy and had to keep line moving. i eat at this shore drive store 3 times a week and never had a problem until tonight.

I just visited the Wendy’s in Palmyra Pennsylvania on Main Street. Unfortunately, I do not have the store number as I threw my receipt out before I took my food to my car, as I didn’t think I would need it I bought a double stack biggie bag and four Frosty’s.

When I got to the car I gave each of my three great nieces, a frosty and got my food situated before heading down the road. I’m not exaggerating when I say the only thing edible out of all it was the french fries.

I will give you credit for that and they were very hot and tasty. Unfortunately, that’s all the positive I have to say. The double stack was literally cold, not even look warm. It must’ve been cooked sometime I go, and it was so hard that it actually crunched when I bit into it.

My great niece s were very excited about…

Yesterday, I ordered and received a kids meal at the Indian Trail, NC Wendy’s restaurant (13810 Independence Blvd). I paid with my debit card. When I arrived at home, I saw where the restaurant charged me $41.25 and it was for someone else’s food. I include a picture of the receipt and the kids meal bag.

I want a refund for this.

I just visited the location in Dunmore Pa and what a disaster it was! Went through the drive through and first they forgot the kids meal. No problem went back through and picked up. Drove home, everyone starts eating. Husband had no bacon on his sandwich. The fries were hours old and hard even still whatever it happens. Then my 6 year old daughter started screaming crying I run over to see her face to beat red and her tongue was starting to swell. They put spicy nuggets in her kids meal and she is extremely intolerance to most spices.

So after 2 Benadryl here we sit still hungry and a bit traumatized. 0 stars we will not be back

Seriously I’m not sure how this particular Wendy’s location is still open, great area AWFUL store. It takes over an hour to place order in drive thru line, I don’t feel they ever have enough workers working or fast enough for it to be a fast food restaurant.

I literally have ran out of gas twice waiting in line. They’re always inside playing around instead of getting their jobs done. This place has been an issue for years, someone really need to step in.

Wendy's 1551 N Missouri St, West Memphis, AR

Franchisee doing poor job of management. They were out of tomatos and out of mustard, and the bathrooms were closed due to drain problems and had been closed for over a week, per employee. The food was OK, not great,.... the bathrooms were important as we had been driving for over two hours. The owner/manager needs corporate visits to insure it operates to Wendy's standards....it is not now.

thank you, James

I'd like to speak with someone about several of my experiences over the last couple months at Wendy's in Ellsworth, Maine.

1. No toilet paper in bathroom 2. Wrong food given to me several times 3. Attitude of 'new employees' lousy 4. Attitude of manager terrible 5. One consistent employee at drive thru which is where I get my food

Store #3017 in Camden SC . I wasn’t going to complain but this has happened twice. They don’t say thank you or even acknowledge you. My order was not correct and one of the ladies got an attitude. I understand mistakes happen but don’t be nasty to me.

I told the two ladies that I hope they had a better day because of their nasty attitude. They laughed at me. I’m not the only one complaining about the customer service. Wendy’s used to be great! What happened .

I know hire miserable employees that take it out on the customers. I won’t be back. I forgot they told me that had to run my card again because it didn’t go through. It went through the second time. Handed my card back and no receipt.

I had to ask for one. Will be watching my bank account. I’m so disappointed Wendy’s because I…

On June 8th, I went to Wendy’s on fire tower rd. In Winterville/Greenville NC. I saw that the doors was closed and employees where waiting to get in. One of the employee said they was waiting for the management to come and open up the doors.

This is unacceptable by management staff and this not the first time. Please fix the problem.

I ordered the single #1, asked for extra pickles and mayonnaise. They gave me a burger with No Lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions and No Ketchup. I had to go inside (was in drive through) to have them remake my sandwich.

They argued with me and told me they gave me what I ordered. I told them I know what I ordered and I ordered the sandwich which comes with everything and wanted extra pickles, this sandwich was missing all the items. They remade it.

Again it was wrong, no ketchup and no onions this time. I asked them to remake it again (no crowd, I was the only one in there). They told me Nope, please leave. I told them they should refund my money since they don’t want to make the sandwich right, they told me to give them the burger back if I wanted my refund.

I told them the burger was…

I just ordered through the drive-through at Wendy’s in Wayne West Virginia. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese biscuit when I received my order. It was a sausage and cheese biscuit at least twice a week. My order gets messed up at this location.

You guys either need to close it or teach your people how to do their job correctly.

I went through the drive thru at 5 pm today 5/18/24 and had the most rude individual. Barely spoke a word to me no welcome no thank you and after handing me my food I waited. He finally asked what are you waiting for to which I replied a frosty which handed to me without looking at me.

I said thank you he said nothing. Location address 1007 E 86th Street Indianapolis IN 46240

I wanted to bring attention to the poor experience I had tonight at one of your restaurants. It started when I was in the drive-thru and was looking over the menu. When I pulled up the employee working asked what I wanted to order and I asked for a moment to read the menu.

Before I had the chance to finish looking over the menu (maybe 15 seconds), the employee began to pressure me to order using phrases such as "let's go", and "hurry up". I quickly ordered for my son and myself and pulled forward.

There were no other cars behind me in line and when I got to the window I noticed the dining area didn't seem to be busy either. The lady took my card and quickly handed me 2 bags and the drink carrier and then my card then shut the window before I could even say anything. Not wanting a…

I went to Wendy's on Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster at 4 pm. There went through the drive through. I ordered a biggie bag with a bacon cheese burger and had a little 2024 frosty which allowed me to get a free baby frosty. First after I placed by order I paid and the guy said he needed by 2024 frosty, He said it would be returned in my bag. I then was told to park and someone who bring me my order. My order came 20 minutes later. There was 8 of us in our cars all waiting. The manager (a lady with purple hair) said the wait was because the new guys were slow. I got my food and same home to eat it. First it was a cheese burger, not a bacon cheese burger and 2nd my frosty tag was not returned to me.

I want a coupon for a free bacon cheeseburger and another frosty tag.

I have Ben 2 the Wendy’s on Randall in Algonquin 2 times in the last 3 weeks and both times I was charged for a Double Baconator combo but did not receive what I ordered. Today was one of this days.

Both times the same girl handle my order and said the order correctly but I did not receive what she said. Both times I didn’t realize it until I was all home.

Also both times I got less than what I was charged for! I got the smaller version the first time and a completely different burger the second with all the condiments I said to hold! It will be a ver long time if ever I go back!!!

I am a former employee. I have worked for the company off & on approximately 6 years. I loved working for Wendy’s. I loved my job, I loved my customers & overall I loved my colleagues. I however feel that the store I worked at has major issues & it is showing in the stores overall General performance.

The issue with this store I can tell you with 100% accuracy is the General Manager of this store. If you look at this particular stores down fall for the last couple of years compared to where it was 10 years ago you will see during the time the current GM has been in position this store has gone down the tube in multiple ways.

This store can’t keep good workers because of the GM in the store. Therefore this store is left with lackey employees who simply work to earn a check & whom are not…

This is not a complaint! I want to brag on the person working the window at the Wendy’s in Liberty, MO. I don’t know his name but he had red hair and he was a breath of fresh air! It is Wednesday February 21st at 6:50 pm.

He was very personable and polite and encompassed what customer service is all about!!

I went and ordered a chicken sandwhich. I asked for no mayonnaise twice. I get home there was Mayo and ketchup on it. I went back to the restaurant, they admitted to making a mistake and then they make me another one.

I get home again there is ketchup on a chicken sandwich which I never asked for. I went back and just asked for my money back, which they gave me but didn’t offer to fix it. The one guy just looked at the other and said why are you putting ketchup on these sandwiches. SMH

I’m tired of going through the drive-through and being shorted. Last month I got the Apple pecan salad and didn’t get the pecans. This past week I got the salad and no dressing and when you go back and get it they don’t even apologize.

That’s probably the most annoying part.

A month ago I went through the drive-through and ordered the apple chicken salad and did not get the pecans. Although I wasn’t happy, I still ate it. Today I went through the Wendy’s on Airport Road in Jackson Michigan and ordered the same salad and got home this time without the dressing.

It’s currently in my refrigerator. This is not acceptable.

They gave me a medium drink when I asked for a large and even asked the rude lady taking payments at window one if she heard me about it needs to be a large and she lied and said yes. Get to window two and they want to argue and say u ordered a medium because of the lazy employee taking orders.

Well Me and my Wife went to your establishment on South Monroe in Tallahassee, Florida and this is the Second time that your manager was very roude and assumed that we were homeless and I hate being profiled of being homeless when we work to damn hard to buy our food.

I am highly offended by your high ranking employee and I am trying to come to you first before this small issue becomes bigger than what it is, so I would highly appreciate if you can get rid of her or I will make this a story for the the truth of how this Wendy's treat people and I am not the only one to complain about this Wendy's, but I have heart enough to speak about it.
