Wendy's Spicy Chicken Complaint - Cold chicken brings laughs to employees - Spicy Chicken Sandwhich

Posted by MRM on 2009-08-10:

After reading this review, I, too, am outraged that the employees laugh it off and did nothing to resolve the situation. Worst customer service indeed.

Posted by madconsumer on 2009-08-10:

what is the other side of this story? this is one side.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

They weren't laughing at the condition of the meal, they were laughing at the way that you spell SANDWHICH (sandwich)! I was praying that you misspelled it but after the SIXTH time, I gave up hope.
Raw chicken can be dangerous but a chicken patty as opposed to RAW CHICKEN WINGS that I once consumed is nothing to joke about. (NH)

Posted by DigitalCommando on 2009-08-10:

Technically ZZ, it can be spelled either way.

Posted by skelly39 on 2009-08-10:

Thanks, zz. Now I can stop kicking my computer.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

You are correct DC, if you are a 2nd grader or lived in the times of the "middle ages". If Micky D's, Wendy and "The King spell it that way, I gotta go along with them.

*Webster agrees*

Posted by DigitalCommando on 2009-08-10:

Ahh, but it is still used today (although not a popular version of it) check this out

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

Zz, I never figured you as the anal retentive type.

Posted by skelly39 on 2009-08-10:

Zz, I still side with you, but if we're going to spell it wrong, can we spell it "sammich"?

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

DC, again you have a valid point but, I and the majority of "Spellcheckers" here are leaning towards, "sandwich".
On a side note, a popular condiment topic has TWO correct spellings (tarter and tartar) but either way you spell it, you still end up wearing it (so to speak).

Posted by knowitall2 on 2009-08-10:

I say everyone relax, take a deep breath and step away from the spellchecker, lol. zz, what about catsup/ketchup? Why do they do this to us?

Posted by DigitalCommando on 2009-08-10:

It just depends on witch which one whishes to use, lol

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

I'm sorry it appeared that they didn't care. I'm sure it was just a reaction in the moment. If it makes you feel any better, the person who cooked it probably took the brunt of their jokes.

Employees find humor on their jobs in funny places. Its how they cope with their jobs. Ask any cop, nurse or EMT. Fast food workers too.

Posted by old fart on 2009-08-10:

This went from a valid complaint to a spelling lesson... what the heck!

Posted by JohnInSoCal on 2009-08-10:

There is absolutely no excuse for bad customer service or an undercooked product. No need to spell check this review. I think we all understood the context of the complaint.

Posted by old fart on 2009-08-10:

Amen John!...what motivates people to start picking flyspecks out of pepper..??

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

Add me to the Amen John. I've always wondered why people feel the need to correct others spelling and grammar. What's the motivation? What's the payoff?

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

Agreed. If you can understand the complaint, address it! Leave the spelling to the pros..whoever they are (cause it sure ain't us).

Posted by knowitall2 on 2009-08-10:

Maybe they wanted to be English teachers in their other lives?

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

If its a member of my family, I will gladly correct them (my poor hubby). And my mama and sister still make free to correct me (I was informed of the correct pronunciation of cicada yesterday).

If they're not related to me, down here, I would do little else.. gotta love the dirty south.

Posted by old fart on 2009-08-10:

LOL Boki.... Still make free"....? there's a southern phrase if there ever was one...!

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

hehehe, my FIL, poor guy, couldn't understand what I was talking about half the time. When chitown meets alabama..

Posted by JohnInSoCal on 2009-08-10:

LOL Kia. I am horrible at spelling. I keep a dictionary by the computer at work and at home. All I have to do now is use it. >:-)

Posted by old fart on 2009-08-10:

Boki.. it's a good thing I spent 4 years in florida...I can communicate with you...

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

I find it appalling that fellow members here are piling on me for my savvy way of pointing out the misspelling of given words. I deem this practice as being not helpful to my plight nor the OP's.
If one doesn't like my constructive way of raising the bar in the spelling department, may they cast the first stone my way but keep this in mind that "my pen" is much sharper than any of your stones that your "limp wrists" may toss and I always aim for "vital organs".

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

I agree with the Poster...the way they acted was unprofessional and un-necessary. I'd complain to the corp office, since the manager was informed and didn't do anything.

As for the spelling...it just seems to be the norm for many in NC. However, the poster got the message across clearly and we all understood the complaint, so no biggie.

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

lol zz. If you acted that way in person..correcting people's spelling, you couldn't pull the women you do. Cut it out!

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

I thought the manager replaced the sammich.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

ZZ...you have NO RIGHT to criticize the spelling of others when you spell, "ROCK"...R-O-K-K !! AND THAT'S YOUR NAME! ! ! Now, pipe down!

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

Stop giving NC scholars a bad name! This person is not originally from there, they are obviously from some jerkwater town/state NEAR Texas OR the MIDWEST!

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

The manager did replace the samrich, but he didn't seem to do anything about the behavior of the workers.

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

Gotya, DB. I still see why the employees laughed, but NOT good for business, correct.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

DB, it is called "poetic licence".

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

Do you mean, "Poetic LICENSE"???
SPELL CHECK ZZ! SPELL CHECK!!!

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

Are you tearing up yet?

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

lol

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

What does my limp wrist have to do with any of this ZZ? It's an opinion site. Sometimes your opinion is popular and sometimes not so much. That's life. Heck, if I started poking vital organs every time there was a Stew pinata party I would have little time to lead the nation. You gotta put on your big girl panties and roll with it.

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

I am wearing my big girl panties..they're comfy and awesome.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

I'm not wearing any...it's too hot!

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

DB, feel free to remove that comment. ;)

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

Hi cuts. Right up to the waist. :D

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

No way...I ain't getting blamed for anything.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

Boki, I surely do.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

You do what ZZ? Wear high cuts, right up to the waist?

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

Oviously, I meant to say "awespome".

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

I should like pics of zz in them..

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

Who or what is an awspome?

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

I can't remember! Ask DB.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

We all wear feet of clay. For I am not by the last name of Webster NOR do I use the SPELLCHECK feature on here.
As for that 'rare' misspelling of LICENSE, I did that to see how it felt to misspell the word.

Posted by jktshff1 on 2009-08-10:

hang in there ZZ!!!

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

ZZ, Sometimes it's best to just drop the shovel.

Posted by KingJames on 2009-08-10:

good one, jktshff1.

usually, those that point out the faults of others, do so to make themselves feel better about their own faults. or so I've been told, anyway.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

KJ , no one needs your two bit impression of Freud, today or any day.

".....Drop the shovel?" *in tears*
Where did you pick up that metaphor, Enid or Henryetta, OK ?

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

JKT...get it RIGHT...it's NOT "llesp".. It's "lleps"!!!

GEESH!!!!!!!

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

Ask GoDuke...he's the one who introduced us to "Awespome"...

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

JKY: A lot.

Signed, DYSLEXIA!

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

JKY? Who is that?

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

ZZ, you know I love you dear...but it is obvious you had another "ZZ event filled weekend"...I think it's best that you go home early and lay down for awhile.

Posted by KingJames on 2009-08-10:

zzrokk, lay off dude, I don't appreciate your constant moodiness one bit.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

"JKT" my fault.
DB, I had a fun filled, drama free weekend and kicked plenty @ss, the problem with me today is that I am all out of Blatz!

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

Zz, Perhaps you need to go poop. I know anytime I'm pinching a loaf my comments tend to be not so pretty. Grab a mag and take care of business. You'll be glad you did.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

SICK!

Posted by PepperElf on 2009-08-10:

eh. how bout just SAMMICH then :-)

*giggle*

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

I'm just trying to help Zzrokk. I'd rather light your candle than curse your darkness.

Posted by bearkatkitten on 2009-08-10:

JKT: Is it sad that I read your backwards sentence just perfectly without having to write down the words and put them the right way? Or, maybe that's a good thing.
As for misspellings and what not... while it may irk me, just so long as I can understand what a "complainer" or others are saying without having me cock my head to the side and say "uh, what?"... it's all good.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

How did this fascinating and eye opening complaint about raw chicken end up concerning one's spelling skills (or the lack of)? I for one never judge one on that and strongly suggest that others should follow suit!

*glass houses agree*

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

BKK has a good review on UHaul that needs some community suppport.

Stew, I don't like to think of you in the bathroom making your always astute comments on m3c. That is illegal in many countries.

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

Zz if I'm not mistaken it was you who first opened the membership's eyes to the perils of undercooked chicken. Every since your my3cents hall of fame inducted supreme court series of reviews I've never eaten chicken without first checking for doneness.

Boki, that doesn't sound like something I would do.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

Stewart: Google up IRONY and SARCASM, ASAP!!!!!

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

ZZ...please, PLEASE go lay down for awhile!

DB: Read my reply to Stewart.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

NO...I want my OWN personal reply from you...not no second hand, hand me down reply...I want a ZZ original!

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

I don't need a nurse, I need a "Nanny".
Fran Drescher, where are you?!

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

Oh I've been PUNKED by the master. You got me good on this one ZZ. I took the bait and hook, line and sinker. Arghhhhh.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

OMG! DO NOT Tell me you're a Fran Drescher fan! ZZ...WHAT is WRONG with your sense for fine, REAL women? Are you crazy? FRAN DRESCHER???? Say it ain't so...

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

Oh Stewie! Have you NOT learned ANYTHING from the Basher? How many times do I have to tell you, never, NEVER give in by telling someone, 'they got you'...you're response was supposed to be, "Yeah ZZ, I KNEW that and I threw SARCASM right back atcha and you fell for it, hook, line AND sinker"...LOL...Stew WON...AGAIN!

Now, see if you can remember that then next time, otherwise you will NOT be allowed to be promoted to the three star table!

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

HOTTTTTTTTTTT! And that laugh of hers makes her even HOTTER!

Stewart, I misread your earlier reply.
Yes, I was the guy that published that fabulous and unforgetable review about those bloody wings from the "Court".
They have since closed down thanks to my hardhitting, in your face expose' about that near death experience of mine it is now a quaint little Irish Pub.

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

But Basher Zz won this one. You know me above all I try to live a life both off and online of rigid adherence to the truth. The one time I tried to be dishonest on here I broke out into a rash and my love stick quit working. Also, the Nation would turn on me in a heartbeat if I were ever to be even the slightest bit deceitful. Honesty is the cross I must bear.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

Stewie...I wasn't encouraging you to be dishonest...I am trying to teach you when you are right! Maybe you're just feelin' sorry for ZZ because of his, 'condition', so that's cool of you.

ZZ...if you think for ONE second that that idiot Fran's laugh is in anyway, cute, sexy, hot or pleasant in ANY way, form or fashion...then you really need to be locked up off the streets and out of reach of society!

I know, I know, she's had alot of health issues...but still!

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

OIC what's going on here. You're just trying to get me back in the saddle so that Zz can score a daily double Stew knock off on the same thread. Well sorry but this jockey is not mounting that horse again.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

You're no fun anymore, Stewie!
*Packing my marbles and finding another playground*

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

DB, all objects of beauty have some type of flaw. Her's is "slight" but it is her laugh.

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

zz gets it. The most interesting thing about some people is their imperfections..

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

If that's true then I must be the most interesting person on this site.

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

Aw! Well, I always liked slight overbites and scars.. Funny men, as opposed to pretty ones..that kind of thing.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

So true, Boki.

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

I'm well aware of how sexy imperfections can be...I mean, I AM in the fan clubs for ZZ, Stew, Ejack and a few others...but Fran is far beyond imperfection...it's not just her voice, though that's the most annoying thing about her...I just wanna slap the idiocy out of her!

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

I like chubby men's belly buttons, but that's not an imperfection...that my dear is PERFECTION!

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

Boki, you really get it! A slght overbite or gap in their top front teeth, a hint of hair above their upper lip OR on the arms and a raspy or slightly deeper voice than one would expect is a turn on to me.
Freckles, Red hair! *fanning myself*

Posted by littleyaya on 2009-08-10:

Basher, I thought you were more into men's colons

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-08-10:

Front tooth gaps are awesomely sexy to me too. And DB, I love chubby bellies too!!!

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2009-08-10:

No quite, "IN" to them, YaYa....LOL!

Posted by Stew on 2009-08-10:

If that's what you're into ZZ then the next time you're in the OKC area I have two words for you -=- Habana Inn.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

DB, you have Fran, mistaken for Sara Palin, my friend but I'd still "play house" with her as well.

Posted by zzrokk on 2009-08-10:

I shall write that down, Stewart!

Posted by MSCANTBEWRONG on 2009-08-10:

That is totally disgusting and was handled horribly.

Posted by proudmama on 2010-01-29:

well, getting to the original point here..while it is indeed hilarious that they didn't cook the chicken patty, they should have first apologized and replaced the sandwich immediately. THEN they should have laughed and teased the dingbat that did it mercilessly:)
