Best WLM Reviews

Today, had an awful experience at Wendy’s. Went to get two biggie bags. The sign said they were $6. Drive thru person say $14.84. I asked as I had previous experience of $6 bags adding up to be way more than the cost plus tax. Guy tried to explain to me that the extra is just tax while his female co-worker bad mouths me for questioning the sum with her microphone on. He tells her to shut her mic off. I note that I can hear her. I’ve been there enough to know she’s a newer employee. Get up to window and younger person tells me the same total. I tell him the sign says $6 each and that seems highly irregular and while I appreciate his efforts, that’s not what the sign says. He tells me he’ll get someone. (I do know I’m arguing over $2.) Then he carries on with the order. I pay him. I ask again for supervisor/manager while my sister goes back to take photo of the sign. He gives me food and then acts as if we’re done. I ask again about a manager- he has no
Idea who that is -and then the original order taker comes out and says there are no refunds and they have no supervisor. You will call tomorrow morning he says. No, no I’m not going to call tomorrow. I’m not sure if you just make up prices as you go or what. I have had great experiences with the day staff. But I am done with Wendy’s. I lived thru their being open a few hours a day, thru the times you couldn’t get this or that or mornings when they couldn’t bake biscuits or sell drinks. I am done.
The late night team is AWFUL. Very slow, rude service, Tried to stop me from checking my order, and when I did check the bag they forgot to give me 2 of the sandwiches, 2 frostys, and an order of fries. Instead of making the sandwiches I was missing, they just started putting random sandwiches they made for other orders in my bag. The stuff they gave me wasn't correct, but it was obvious they just didn't want to do their jobs, so I left once they gave me the correct amount of items knowing they were wrong.
I know they were busy, but there's no world you see an order with three meals and try to hand me a bag with one sandwich in it and try to tell me I'm not supposed to check my own order. If you don't want to do your job, maybe don't work the late night shift or find a new job.
Hey everyone, I went to wendy’s tonight for break and they were a little slow. They also took a while to ask for our order because they said they were making 4 sandwiches then asked us for our order. They charged both my friend and I twice the amount of money for three items that’s was supposed to be under $10 but was almost $20. They also forgot some items like come on now do better. I also tried calling them 5 times and no answer. Also they never gave us receipts. Please don’t pull a me and make sure to check your order before you leave and ask for a receipt and make sure they don’t charge you twice.
I understand people makes mistakes , the drive-through I had my order right but they gave me the wrong receipt. I want make sure I got charged what I paid for on the receipt ,I went and talk to the manager and try and explain he gave me wrong receipt so he put his hand in my bag touch my fries and I told him have replace it and I was missing my nuggets in bag and I went to drive-through asked for the nuggets got wrong , gave me spicy nuggets and wrong sauce so I come back 2 times drive -thur . Get right nuggets and right sauce . I’m very upset with them.????my food was cold . I understand one mistake . And busy not after 2 times same person .
Slow af even drive thru and uber eats takes an hour plus cost over 30 $ in uber eats for a delivery for less than a mile id feel lazy if it wasn't for everytime u go they have a line to the street bc the ppl don't care get rid of em or start a new store loosers!!!!
5 years ago I couldn't have given this Wendy's a good review. But they have really improved. They have a whole new set of workers, and you can tell that they take their job seriously. The food is always hot and delicious. I am extremely happy to see First Avenue Wendy's turn itself around!
There is a guy that works around lunch who goes out of his way to brighten your day. Seriously, the best fast food customer service I’ve ever experienced. I’ve gone there at other times too, and I’ve never had a bad experience here.
The guy taking our order was hilarious! He made us laugh and we even vibed with the music with him. The music playing was excellent and I did a lot of dancing in the lobby. 100% would come here again for the service and atmosphere. We were driving through on a 12 hour trip and we will always devert here in the future.
