“I saw the light in a Wendy’s Frosty”
I walked into Wendy’s expecting to settle for mediocrity. I left a changed person. Enlightened. Possibly spiritually upgraded.
I ordered the 4 for $4 like any financially responsible adult who wants to eat like royalty on a peasant's budget. Nuggets? Glorious. Fries? Golden. Cheeseburger? Slightly crooked but full of dreams. I bit in and heard a choir somewhere. Was that Wendy herself? Probably.
The woman at the counter handed me my tray like she was bestowing a sacred artifact. She called me “hon” and gave me an extra dipping sauce without judgment. That’s love.
Now let’s talk about the Frosty. That chocolate Frosty didn’t just cool my tongue. It cooled my soul. I dipped my fries in it like a local, and for a brief moment, I understood world peace. I forgave people I wasn’t even mad at.
A man next to me dropped his sandwich, and the staff replaced it without question. No drama. No upcharge. Just vibes. He looked at them like they were heroes. I almost clapped.
The music was a weird mix of early 2000s R&B and motivational pop. I didn’t hate it. I tapped my foot while consuming 2,000 calories and didn’t feel bad once.
Wendy’s, you beautiful red-haired burger queen, thank you for reminding me that joy comes in small paper bags.
I will return. Probably next time I pass...
Read moreOur large family finally made a combined decision on Wendy's for dinner. It took a while. We pull up, make our large order, go to pay, and the credit card machine wasn't working. They kept making our order and tried another cc machine. Still not working. We gave them a different cc just in case. Still didn't work. Our full meal was sitting by the window, ready to go, when the manager just says "The machine is offline." We asked what options we had. She coldly asked, "You don't have cash?" "No, ma'am, we don't," we replied. "I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do." We expressed some disappointment, but in the end... we drove away, cranky kids and all. A full meal sitting by the window, going to waste or for the employees to eat. Seriously?! The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because James, the first employee at the window, was a delight to talk to while we...
Read moreThis Wendy's is great. I like Chocolate frosty's a lot. The people there are extra friendly. The manager Is a really good guy. Everyone working here are nice and friendly. Everyone looked like they have been practicing the job they do, on their off time or something because they worked were very proficiently. This team got everything right. The drive-through line look like it was moving so fast I'm not even sure people had to stop. Eat at this restaurant. I may have an exaggerated a little bit about the drive-through line. I thought it was record timing Though they still had to stop to get their food. It's worth the short little drive off I-10 to get to. And if you are someone who has never tried a frosty, Welcome to America ask for a sample. Then buy the largest one they make. They have the vanilla but I like...
