Wendy's — Restaurant in Conway

I really need you all to look here and stop listening to any background noise, as it will impede your ability to read and comprehend what I'm about to say in this honest review. Please, stop reading your messages; in fact, just turn them off. Don't worry, I'm not going to explain complex math equations such as 12x6, or even define the grammatical term predicate; my goal here is to persuade you to add Wendy's to the list of banned restaurants after hearing my experience.

First off, I'd like to make it clear that I'm knowledgeable in the subject relating to the advice I'm giving here because I have direct experience. I have come to the conclusion that I seem to have been "trolled" either by the establishment itself or the very large man that I encountered during my visit, whom I have learned is known as Richard Jordan.

The very first thing I witnessed when I swung open the door was Mr. Jordan sniffing his fingers - which appeared to have been covered with chili (I hope). Initially, it made me think, "Oh well looks like he really enjoyed the chili; must be good!" What I didn't know then was that, allegedly, the restaurant had just made a deal with Richard where they served him ten gallons of their chili in exchange for his withdrawal of a lawsuit that he had levied against them earlier this month. ALLEGEDLY, a former or current employee of the fast food establishment had stolen footage from the store's CCTV surveillance system and disseminated it online via the instant-messaging platform Discord, where a particular silly cast of characters known as Sean Ranklin, Breaking Banquet, and GulagKingpin amongst others had used it to fabricate a news story in which Jordan (referred to as the Conway Conman) had committed armed robbery (they alleged he was armed with the detached handgrip of a handgun) against the store.

Ignorant to this information, I decided to order the Wendy's chili. As I stood there waiting for my food, Mr. Jordan stood nearby with chilibeans and little pieces of meat on his chin and shirt. He seemed to be watching me with a smirk on his face. Eventually I received my order and had sat down at the nearest table.

Right as I was about to put the first spoonful into my mouth, I noticed that Richard was no longer standing by the counter. As I chewed on my liquid dietary material, I suddenly felt a rush of hot, rancid air flow into my ear. I turned my head to make the horrible realization that the air was none other than the breath of Richard Jordan. He was so close to my face that my nose actually bumped into the microphone piece of a blue-black headset that he had put on.

"Welcome to Banworld, bud." he said, "I hope your family dies in an automobile wreck." You can imagine my shock was as Richard then waddled out the door and into a truck which appeared to have been driven by a large red-haired woman. In the bed of the truck, there were vacuum parts, empty Wendy's chili cups, empty cans of Pepsi, broken PlayStation controllers, an old crusty office chair, and a Pikachu plushie. As the truck sped off, Richard could be seen yelling at the poor woman. I heard him shout, "I'm kicking you off my party; you're not ranked-driving material!" There was no question that the tears from the driver's eyes were most certainly not due to the change in barometric pressure. It also appeared that Richard's leg-bouncing had caused the truck to begin shaking violently as it sped off.

After looking through some of the other reviews I must say I don't know what to believe. It seems that myself and many of the other reviewers have had problematic experiences here due to this Richard Jordan person. Now, I have heard that the other Wendy's in Conway had permanently banned Jordan due to violating their TOS, which he claims no fault over and cites "mass false reports from trolls" as the reason. I hope that this store follows suit and bans this gentleman now that the civil suit has been settled out of court. It would be a total 62-IQ move in my eyes to...

I decided to treat my family to a succulent American meal here at Wendy's the other day and was not disappointed. The burgers were fresh- never frozen, the fries were nice and crispy and the soda was ice cold.

However, like many others before me, I was also placed in an unsafe environment when the infamous Uber eats/door dash driver , Richard Jordanson McGravy IV showed up for his breakfast protein shake (bucket of chili) the evening I was there.

"AWNESTLY, what is with the service today?" He said. "I just woke up and I have a long shift ahead of me of driving around in my v4 mustang delivering people food".

At this point his girth was starting to push over the tills, cups and napkin holders that lined the counter as he proceeded to bend over the counter as if expecting faster service if he imposed himself upon the staff.

I was starting to get a little frustrated with Richard's behavior. He came off as someone who talked too much about running businesses and politics but knew so little and his funny little top hat he was wearing did not help this perception.

I proceeded to get up in order to confront Richard and see if I could possibly talk him out of doing something rash since at this point he was telling the staff that he hoped their family would die in an automobile crash.

"Excuse me sir?" I asked nervously.

"Yuh wut you want?" He replied in between sips of his coca cola.

"The staff here is excellent and hard working. The patrons in this establishment also deserve to eat in peace. We would appreciate it if you would remain calm and let the staff do their job and make you your usual 5 gallon chili shake."

Richard didn't take this too kindly. He shoveled a handful of fries in to his mouth and proceeded to school me on running a business.

"Reel tawk, this business is being run in to the ground right now. They should have gallons of chili on stand by at this point, right? They only have perceived value in their product, right? They are really good at making something desirable but not creating the product, right? The manager here is probably a fan of Elon Musk, right?"

The whole time he was talking to me he had to take a few minutes to breath and chew his fries in to what looked like a microphone. I'm not sure but I think he was live streaming. I was having none of it though. Elon Musb is clearly a genius and I wasn't going to let him tarnish his good name.

"Look here, sir, I don't know what you have against Mr. Musk but that is besides the point. All I am asking you is if you don't mind keeping it down and acting like a gentleman" I pleaded with him. "And if I do say so, you seem to be acting like an entitled person, someone that would get donations for a life altering surgery and then disregard the advice of the doctor all the while blaming your short comings on other people"

This last part appeared to set him off in a furious rage and he attempted to attack me with what looked like solid pieces of muscles on his forearms ( he must have worked in some sort of mill because those were pretty impressive) but luckily I dodged him at the last second and he fell down on the floor and broke his leg due to his family sized stature.

"SOOOOOO-EEEE!" he squeeled in pain. "SOOO-EE!".

Just then a similarly sized individual that appeared to be a women ran in to the Wendy's in order to help him in to the wheel barrow she brought with her (I think there was a mummified cat in there).

As she was pushing him out the door he was cursing at Republicans for not giving him free healthcare to help him with his health issues that trolls gave him from making him eat so much.

Other than this encounter my time here was great but I hear that Richard stops by every day for his breakfast chili and I just don't want to risk anything so I won't...

A pretty interesting experience, I'll give it that. I was traveling from Georgia to Delaware, and needed a place to get some lunch. I was driving for around 5 or 6 hours, probably dehydrated. I didn't want to deal with the crowds in Florence, and thought it would be cool to see how the South Carolina towns looked, so this was the place. My antiquated GPS said this would only be a 10 minute drive from the highway, but it was an hour. Maybe traffic? Regardless, This seemed like a pretty easy place to stop off, just go in, grab a thing of Pepsi and a sandwich, and continue with my journey. Boy, was I in for a surprise.

I was inside, sipping on my large Pepsi and eating my baconator (which was pretty average), when the doors swung open. It was like a movie. This shirtless, large set man (I estimate 450 to 500 pounds) stomped in, his speed only contained by his chains. Behind him followed an officer- I think I made out "Ranklin"? So, this officer Ranklin guy is containing this balloon of a man, when, out of the corner of my eye, I see his nose twitching. All the sudden he babbles "I can't do it, I can't take this no more man!"... He then falls on all fours, and he dashes to the counter! Officer Ranklin tried to hold him back, but the force was too much- he had to let go! He reached the counter, stood up, and began to scale it. Officer Ranklin sighed, rolled his eyes, and begrudgingly shouted at the employees "Alright guys, it's a code Chili, put on your protective gear and follow protocol. Let's get this over with". The employees then dawned Wendy's branded PPE. A couple of employees loudly announced that the store would be closing, and apologized. They gave the people waiting in line free Wendy's discount vouchers as they escorted the customers out, some shocked (like myself) and others annoyed. As I was walking out with my half eaten baconator and half filled Pepsi, I heard "I just wanted to have a good game and have a good time-" then what sounded like dog whimpers. "I'm so sorry" he blurted. I think they attached an IV to him. Based on the "Code Chili" thing, one might think that it's an IV tube full of chili.

What a bizarre experience. Anyway I appreciate how the employees ensured the safety of the customers, and even gave out the vouchers to compensate everyone. I guess the voucher is accepted at any Wendy's, I think it was called a Liquid Richard voucher for a Pepsi, since I was unable to get a refill.

Food was very average. I'm not sure if it was fresh or not, but it tasted very alright, so no major complaints here. The Pepsi was decent. Fries were salty enough. A decent meal all around, kept me full for the next few hours.

Now, I feel bad giving two stars for this, but based on the looks of the customers, the protocol, etc, this 450 pound animal seems to be here often. It completely interrupted my Wendy's experience. Despite the intrigue, I really wanted to chill in the air conditioned Wendy's and enjoy my sandwich before completing the next trek of my journey. The AC in my car sucks so this really screwed me. At least I had my ice cold Pepsi for a bit. I don't know why management won't fix this issue. It seems like other patrons reviewing here had the same problem. Perplexing.

Overall, if you like Wendy's, and have some patience, go for it. Just be prepared for the massive man. If I'd known that it would be an hour detour, I probably would have eaten at the Zaxby's near...
