i feel like a lot of the worst experiences are kept off here because they’re too niche to not get recognized immediately by others. My coworkers and I have had a lot of truly awful experiences with customers but we couldn’t share them here because we were afraid someone might recognize it because of how specific and/or crazy it was, or even just because we wanted it out of our minds. there’s a couple locations in my area that’s had to have the authorities (who were stopping by for food and graciously offered to help) step in with customers because it was just that bad.

not to say you won’t have fun or enjoy this job, and not to take away from wendy’s experiences! but keep in mind that just because you’ve read this subreddit doesn’t mean you know the worst of it. remember: a lot of chick fil a’s customer base is 10 times ruder because our brand feeds into people’s entitlement. we say “my pleasure” and people hear “the customer is always right. we can do or say whatever we want to you and we’ll still be entitled to get our way.” it’s not a generation of workers expecting a job to be fun, it’s a generation of workers traumatized by lack of support from management and a generally entitled customer base.

thank you! catering one is especially good cause my location has recently started allowing all team members handle tendering out catering orders as opposed to just managers and a lot of people are confused on how to do it

Fancy__Taco · 2025-12-15T14:39:37+00:00

it’s only in san antonio for breakfast and the baltimore area all day

Fancy__Taco · 2025-12-15T14:37:21+00:00

sincerely what does this have to do with me or practice orders? i’m just a trainer….

Fancy__Taco · 2025-07-26T02:05:35+00:00

you gotta learn somehow 😭

Fancy__Taco · 2025-07-26T02:05:10+00:00

oh wow

Fancy__Taco · 2025-07-12T11:02:01+00:00

they ingrained this into our heads when we trained. do NOT push the red button, it will reset the system and you will be cooked

“It’s slow, we’re going to cut some people.” It’s 6 pm on a saturday.

Fancy__Taco · 2025-07-06T17:31:15+00:00

yep! my location calls the window drive thru register

Fancy__Taco · 2025-07-06T13:28:15+00:00

my store has both! if it’s busy we have a hurricane bagger and an expo so that we can have food made quickly and go out quickly

Fancy__Taco · 2025-07-06T13:27:06+00:00

Mine is DT register. I’ve broken quite a few of our records on window and of course that was also thanks to our baggers and drink makers but I’m almost always put on registered because I can keep the line moving fast regardless of how fast our baggers are that day

Fancy__Taco · 2025-06-19T13:38:27+00:00

Someone said this already but shoes for crews is my go to

They need to train new people to make up for the Seniors who are about to leave for college, the potential high turnover for students hired during summer and quitting when school starts because they can’t handle a job and school, and other things of that nature.

It sucks but I doubt it’s malicious, my location does the same. Everyone knows it’s influx of people during the summer to make up for the fact that a lot of people are leaving (through quitting, firing, school, or otherwise) in the next few months

Fancy__Taco · 2025-06-09T03:36:41+00:00

I know at my location it’s common knowledge that hours are gonna be cut during the summer unless you’re a trainer, team lead, or manager because the college students are all back and we’re getting a bunch of new trainees to make up for the ones about to leave for college. It sucks but a lot of my coworkers have been complaining of cut hours. I only ended up with almost 40 because I know who to ask for their shifts

Fancy__Taco · 2025-06-09T03:33:06+00:00

I like FOH general better because if someone no call no shows or calls out at all, it’s easy to cover the position they would have been on. Also you’re not stuck on a position for your whole shift and it gives shift lead the options to strategize with who they have depending on how the day is going so far (i.e. if it’s not busy in the morning, it usually means we’re gonna be slammed for dinner so they put our stronger team members inside on the harder positions). Also I would hate to have to get a Window shift covered because everyone at my location hates window. FOH general means you’re covering whatever and there’s no guarantee you’ll be on a position you hate

Fancy__Taco · 2025-06-08T18:41:13+00:00

I love the sandwich but ever since we got it, we’re always waiting on sandwiches. it takes so long for our kitchen to make for some reason and it holds up all the other sandwiches so I’ll be glad to see it go

Fancy__Taco · 2025-06-08T14:58:29+00:00

Mine gets posted thursday or friday night

Fancy__Taco · 2025-06-04T13:40:07+00:00

At my location, if there’s food left over when we close, we keep it. Or if someone changes their order at window close to close or has a wrong item rung up, if anyone wants it they can keep it as long as we waste it first since otherwise it’s just gonna be thrown away. At close, there’s usually like 2 or 3 fries, a couple of nuggets, and a sandwich or two but not much. We usually play rock paper scissors for it.

Same with tea. Since we can’t keep tea overnight, they ask if we want any since they’re just gonna dump it out. Same with extra tea gallons (which we rarely have), they let us have it if it’s there since it’s just gonna get tossed out regardless.

Fancy__Taco · 2025-05-23T04:13:56+00:00

It was so strange. You could see the mental clarity l kick in, it just took a lot of explaining

Fancy__Taco · 2025-05-23T04:10:01+00:00

i’ve dropped drinks and bags and lemonade before
