I made my last order from Wendy's over 5 years ago, when I watched them give my order to the person in front of me then tried to give me their order...and when I wouldn't take it because it wasn't right and asked for what I actually ordered, I was told that they would redo it but it would be at the end of their list, and that it was my fault they gave it to the wrong person.

Like...I had no reason to doubt that maybe this guy ordered the same combo off the menu, no unique changes to the way it came. But yeah, it's my fault for not jumping in and taking it from him.

Ended up taking me like 40 minutes to get a burger and fries, and when I finally got it, it still wasn't right, and the manager tried to lecture me about how to avoid this in the future.

As it has happened I've been able to successfully avoid another Wendy's fuck up ever since by the weird trick of never fucking going to Wendy's.
