I've never been inside this establishment but the drive-thru service is rushed, unfriendly, and unorganized. Having worked in the fast food industry while in high school, I understand the business model of serving "fast" food. I understand that each individual restaurant has goals to achieve, times to beat, and quotas to meet. However, a restaurants "window time" should not take precedence over quality of service and customer satisfaction.
Time and time again I have patronized this establishment (generally because they are the quickest and their is never a line during my 30 min lunch break) and each interaction has been the same. The staff is normally quick to respond when you approach the intercom. After the automated greeting, you will hear the depressing and monotone voice of a staff member asking what'd you like. My real issue is when you approach the pay/pick-up window. The only food item that is ever hot, would be the chili. Everything else is always lukewarm. Fries are rarely salted and the cheese on the burgers is always cold. On several occasions I've had the drive-thru attendant drop my change on the ground as they rush. My order is often blatantly wrong (I'm given someone else's food), I'm asked what I ordered when there are no other cars in the drive-thru (how could you forget?) or sauces, napkins, straws, and utensils that have been asked for (some of these items should be common sense) are not included in the bag. On the occasions that I have sat and checked my bag at the window, management has rushed over to ask me to whats wrong, if I'm ok, or plainly to move up if I would like to verify my order is correct.
I try NOT to patronize this Wendy's as often as I can and when I do its solely for chili alone at this point. I'd rather patronize Checkers or drive further to McDonald's out of my jobs zoning area.
