Wendy's — Restaurant in Gastonia

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that will test the limits of your patience, look no further than Wendy's on union road. My recent visit to this establishment left me questioning the very concept of "fast food" itself. (it took 45 minutes)

Upon entering the restaurant, I was met with the deafening hum of an inefficient assembly line, seemingly moving at the speed of a snail on sedatives. The staff appeared to be on a mission to redefine the word "fast" as they lethargically shuffled between tasks, barely acknowledging the growing line of disgruntled customers.

As I patiently waited, I couldn't help but feel like I had entered a time warp where minutes turned into hours. The lackadaisical pace of the employees suggested that the concept of urgency was foreign to them. Perhaps they were on a mission to set a new record for the slowest fast food service in history.

The culinary catastrophe continued as my order, which should have been a simple affair, became an epic saga of inefficiency. It was as if the kitchen staff had just discovered fire and were still figuring out how to use it. The anticipation built with each passing moment, as my stomach growled louder than the underwhelmed customers surrounding me.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, my meal was ready. The joy of anticipation had long since transformed into a bitter aftertaste of disappointment. The food, now lukewarm and lacking any semblance of freshness, was a sad reminder that haste makes waste. To add insult to injury, the dining area resembled a war zone, with unclean tables and a shortage of available seating. It was evident that the staff's lackadaisical attitude extended beyond the counter into the overall cleanliness and organization of the establishment.

In conclusion, if you're seeking a culinary adventure that defies the laws of time and tests your patience to its limits, Wendy's is the place for you. However, if you value your time and sanity, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a fast food experience that actually lives up...

Update from my last review. All I can say is what happened to all the adults, and did they have a whole different crew? They could not get anything right at all. We had 2 separate orders. One was a single cheeseburger with only lettuce and onion and a large diet coke and the other one was for a Queso Burger and a large fry. No special requests for the Queso burger. After they messed it up, we told the girl at the window what the orders were again, and she kept coming back to the window several times and repeating the orders wrong and I kept telling her no and giving her to it right. I honestly thought I was being punked or on candid camera or something. It was crazy the orders were so easy. Then they gave us both wrong orders. When they finally got mine right, they gave us my son's and it was not a Queso burger. It was what I ordered originally; they did, however, have his large fry in the bag. I showed the girl my son's burger which had a slice of cheese, lettuce and onion and she was trying to tell me that was the Queso Burger. Finally, my son just wanted his money back. I guess at this point the manager (at least I think it was the manager, she seemed like the most mature out of the bunch of teenagers) came to the window, apologized and refunded him. She said she could not give us a receipt for the refund. At this point, I was so frustrated, I did not bother to ask for it or why she could not give it to us. I will just watch my son's checking. We ended up going somewhere else nearby and got food. It was good and they got it right. What happened? Did the whole crew quit or something after the New Year? We were just there a few weeks ago and it was fine. Your other Wendys in town off Franklin is doing wonderful now. We just happened to be going up this way and wanted to pick up a bite on the way to go grocery shopping. Just wow,...
