Well, after a few bad experiences at this Wendy's location (the most recent was last night), I am writing a review that isn't so nice about this location. On more than one occasion I have waited in the drive through for a long, long time and once I got my order, found when I got home that order wasn't complete. I hate having to dig through the bag to verify my order when picking up at the window and paying (mostly I am trying to minimize the wait time for those behind me in their cars, waiting already an eternity, for their time at the pick up window). Now I realize that more and more fast food places do not put napkins, condiments, etc., in the bag these days. I guess it is a way of cutting overhead cost. But, when you specifically ask for ketchup to have with your fries, like I did last night, and then you get home to find one ketchup packet, you gotta admit it either funny or pestering, take your pick. Then, when I looked in the bag for a straw for my drink? Well, you guessed it. No straw. Another interesting thing is that last night, the drive through line was empty, so I ordered and drove up to the pick up window and guess what? My order was ready! Now, here's a little secret that I learned about Wendy's years ago, when as a vendor calling on Wendy's HQ in Ohio. It was there that I got an education by Wendy's senior staff on the hamburger franchise that Dave Thomas started--and on what made Wendy's burgers better than any other competitors. I was told that on Wendy's cooks your burger at the time of ordering and they are not precooked, like they do at other burger chains. In addition, I was told that every day the vegetables found on the burger and back then, in the salad bar, were sliced fresh every morning/day. Freshness and Made to Order where what Dave Thomas and Wendy's was all about. So, now back to my purchase last night. There was no way my order was cooked to order for me last night. it was a basic Dave's single with cheese. My guess is that it was already made and that's why it was ready when I arrived at the pick up window. No good. The fries were very salty, too. Add the missing straw and only one ketchup packet and that's why I am writing this review today. Wendy's are franchise restaurants. So, the owners and management of this one location might not own or manage the Wendy's in your location. But for this location, I don't think they are doing a very good job on qualify control.
