Wendy's
Every Friday, Jenn and I pick up dinner at Wendy's in Orleans after our commute home to Truro. They have a 60-70% chance of screwing it up. Forget a burger or a chili or a drink. Last night , I made my order drove to the window handed the girl my d-card. Took her 15 minutes to make it work (fast food, hah!). And started handing receipts and food faster than I could catch them. Told her that if I were to find my self wearing my dinner, I'd be right inside, through the window. She slowed down. We pulled up, Jenn did inventory, and said we had an extra chicken sandwich. Cool, we're starting a rally on the score, they're still way ahead tho. We get home and the chicken wrapped sandwich turned oout to be a double cheese burger in the wrong wrapper. Not complaining but why waste a perfectly good fake out?  |

they ever give you a problem there again, tell them the grumpy old guy in the green ford truck who makes them repeat the order back, while he checks it at the window, and will stop the line, leave his truck at the window, and go inside, will be right over to straighten their nonengrish spleaking selves out 
I've taken to just the 99 cent menu... lot less foul ups, but.. I still make them read it back, not just at the order window, but the pick up window, and if theres food for more than me, I tell them I will take ONE bag at a time, Hate that express shotgun fire they try to pull with the bags and drinks....  |

I'd go to a bank and exchange some Yankee greenbacks for Brazilian cruzeiros. I'll bet the girl at the window wouldn't bat an eyelash 
And if she called over the manager, I'd tell him that if he can't hire workers that speak American, I'm not paying American |

Wendy's is one of the places I never will eat...even if starving! Been there maybe 3 times and each time it was disgusting from the cleanliness of the place to the service to the food! 
For the record...Orleans was the last one I have been to......Whitman, Abington and Quincy! Over about a 20 year span! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Best Burger in town....hmmm.... Land-Ho, no doubt, but it costs too damn much.. Yardarm ain't bad, but still too much dough.. Hearth and Kettle, I'll give them a good thumbs up.. but Fred.. you and Jenn really want the best burger in Orleans, give me a ring, I'll get the grill going 
jpi.. i know all the tow truck guys in town.. they'd nevah hook me up unless i needed it.. 
I still grab the 99 cent cheesburger jr. when i'm in a hurry tho  |
