FULL TITLE: Wendy's manager is under fire for blaming his employees' poor service on having a 'talentless pool of ex-junkies' to hire from in the small Massachusetts town

A Wendy's manager has sparked outrage for insulting his employees and bashing his Massachusetts town as a drug-riddled, talentless 'pool of ex-junkies'.

Wendy's customer Matthew Rose said that he had been shocked by the bad service he received when he visited the restaurant on Cranberry Highway in Wareham on August 3. He says he returned a few days later, to a similarly terrible experience.

He decided to send a complaint to Wendy's corporate office. But the reply he was stunned with the response he received on Monday morning from district manager Keith Edward Helger.

Helger blamed the restaurant's shoddy service the poor caliber of applicants in the town.

The e-mail Rose received said: 'I apologize for your experiences at this location. Not an excuse but the town of Wareham has little to no talent pool to hire from. This is an ongoing issue in that area. We are constantly interviewing and hiring any and all qualified candidates. Unfortunately those candidates are hard to come by as most are recovering addicts and we cannot hire them.'

'We will continue to do our best to fix the issues in this location and improve the overall Wendy's experience. I appreciate your feedback.'

A guy on FaceBook assures me that their work performance would improve if they were paid $15 an hour.

I saw this earlier and I have to agree with the manager, between Lazy, Snot Nosed Entitled pussies and Drugged out losers, finding competent help is pretty tough these days. I know a whole lot of people that own companies and employ alot of people, Every One of them knows exactly what I mean when I tell them the kid doesn’t work for me anymore because he had in incurable disease, Millennialitis.

Just google “Wareham Mass drug bust” and it seems they have a big heroin or fentanyl bust every week or two.

No he is not wrong. We went through something like this when I worked in a supermarket in Atlantic City in the 1980s.

Did not he realize that in this day and age of rule by the Democrats and their minions, telling the truth is a capital felony. One is not allowed to do that. When it happens, very dire consequences follow, and follow, and follow.

There was a documentary a couple of years ago about drug addicts on Cape Cod. Wareham was home to a lot of them. The townies in that part of the state are mostly drug addled fools.

“Unfortunately those candidates are hard to come by as most are recovering addicts and we cannot hire them.”

On one hand, I say hiring recovering addicts may help them and they may turn out to be great employees. OTOH, it takes a long time before you can trust them, and an employer needs the freedom to fire people for cause.
