Wendy's — Restaurant in Clear Lake

Out family was driving thru on our way to Minnesota. We were all starving as it was past 8:00 and we hadnt eaten supper. We decided to stop at Wendy's as I am gluten intolerant and typically love Wendy's salads.

The staff was not super excited about serving us. The shift manager had attitude about having to come over to swipe her card to fix our order. She was wearing gloves when she touched the screen, then went back to touching food. The floor was disgusting, food EVERYWHERE. I almost left but tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.

We got it to go to get back on the road quickly. We got back on the interstate when I took a bite of something very bitter I continued eating hoping it was a tart piece of apple. I then had two more bites that tasted just awful. The salad was bad, the apples were bad. I couldn't force myself to eat this salad and at this point we had no time to turn around.That has never happened at any Wendy's before. I am so ticked off right now...I went from starving to nauseous and threw $7 away. 😬

I will be calling...

Went to order a burger and shake. They informed me it would B over 25 mins for my order. They informed me they had 3 customers ahead of me and there was only 2 people working at the time. Informed them I couldn't wait for 25 minutes for a take out. Asked them why they had only 2 people working during a dinner time time of day. They indicated that a couple of people just quit and they could not find anyone else to work there. She offered me a Job, but told her I already had one. Went across the road to Love's Gas Station and there was no one behind the counter. There was a Gal stocking the shelf and I asked her if she could check me out so I could leave. Asked her where R the other people working there. Her response was a couple of people just quit 🙄 and she qas the only one doing everything there. Told her it's really hard to find people that actually want to work for money anymore. Seams a good part of our Society doesn't want to work and looking...

Got Wendy's while traveling, so went through the drive thru. We've got a dairy allergy in the family, so we asked about their buns. The gal seemed annoyed that we asked and responded that they were not dairy-free. No big deal, we had a plan b. Ordered the saucy nuggets as a meal. She responded "it doesn't come as a meal". There was a "make it a combo for $4.50" right by the saucy nuggets.. so we asked if we could make it one. She grumpily responded with "yes...". Then I'm pretty sure she added the fries and drink separately instead of the $4.50 combo, because the math wasn't mathing. We didn't get a receipt, so can't verify that. Then when we got the food, the fries were just thrown in and the saucy nuggets lid wasn't on, so bbq sauce got spilled everywhere. The food was tasty, the experience was less than impressive. I would definitely be hesitant to return to...
