[VIDEO AT THE LINK] A man was caught on video going crazy at a Wendy’s after an employee mistakenly added cheese to his burger.
The Wendy’s customer is the latest to jump on the trend to reprimand an employee for a human mistake.
I can’t do dairy, any of it. Cheese is great but if I want to avoid a “brown leg incident” it’s just a hamburger for me thanks.
I hate cheeseburgers and I can tell you about 50% the time you order a hamburger (anywhere) and you specifically say you don’t want cheese on it, you will get one with cheese on it. This happens at fast food restaurants as well as more upscale places.
I simply send it back for a new one. About 50% the time I do that, they take it back and try to scrape the cheese off of it and bring it back. There is still cheese on it because they cannot scrape it all off after it has melted into the meat. Also, by this time the meat is cold.
I send it back again.
By this time everyone else in your dining party is finished their meal and you’re holding them up.
So, while I don’t condone this guy’s behavior, I truly understand his frustration. He’s probably been through this hundreds of times (like I have) and just snapped like Michael Douglas’s character in Falling Down.
We non-cheeseburger people are a persecuted and discriminated against group I tell you !
I demand reparations!
This is a cheesiest attitude. You are intolerant!
Get used to it. With 45 million new “immigrants” in this country that don’t speak english, have little education, resources, 3rd world diseases... your opportunity to experience this situation is close at hand.
Particularly with Wendy’s, I’ve found that quietly explaining a mistake and/or even consenting to live with it will earn you not only appreciation but often a free Frosty or coupon good on your next meal.
Dittos to your comments. I stopped going to Wendy’s because they joined the 10 cent cheese slice on everything bandwagon. They believe instead of asking if you want cheese and charging that extra 10 cents they’ll just go ahead and add cheese to everything, charge you for it by raising prices, then making you ask not to have cheese. We all know the illegal aliens in the back will almost always add that cheese. I HATE cheese on hamburgers.
Jack-in-the-Crack does this, as do others like Carl’s Junior. I simply stopped going to those places because they are simply too expenses for their annoyances. I mean a simple Single Combo at Wendy’s is now over $7. That “$6 burger for $5” is now over $8 at Carl’s. lol. Seems that $6 burger someplace else is a bargain.
The local McDonalds is notorius for screwing up small orders. McDonalds service these days is what takes the “Fast” out of Fast Food.
The lactose intolerant.
Usually Wendy’s does a great job filling our orders, but this last time was a disaster. I typically go through the drive-thru, and this time was not different. I am aware that there can be mistakes so I always stop and park to check the order before we leave. My son’s order is always a Cheeseburger, plain and dry; just meat-cheese-bread (which I ordered EXACTLY in those words). I ordered and specified no mayo or ketchup, add mustard.
Both orders were wrong. I casually went in and told the cashier what had happened, and the manager had the employees give us new food. I got to the car and while my son’s order was fine mine was still wrong.
I did not have time to go back and get it fixed again, I mean I went through the drive thru for a reason, right? I decided it wasn’t worth the drama and ate the thing anyway. I can’t stand mayo or ketchup. Where’s the mustard?
Don’t even get me started on McDonald’s.... We do not eat there anymore, going on 5 years now.
Nope. Just an irate customer.
Maybe the guy really likes cheese, but just wanted a little whine to go with it.
Many, many years ago I was managing McDonald’s and a customer came up to the counter with a complaint, he didn’t like my coworkers response so he flicked his cigarette in his face. I didn’t even try to stop my assistant from going over the counter at him!
There is only one establishment at which I eat cheeseburgers - my own home. I buy a chuck roast and grind it up myself (ok the kitchen aid does the heavy lifting).
A good cheeseburger is truly a gift from God, and apparently all the fast food places that sell burgers are atheists.
McDonalds has delicious burgers!

I now know one freeper whose restaurant recommendations will be ignored. Sorry. Our frames of reference for the word delicious are entirely incompatible.
I take them and put them in the fridge for a day and then eat them cold.
Very delicious!

Just try them cold one time and maybe you’ll change your mind.
