I drove to my local Wendy's restaurant located at Ray Road and 49th Street in Ahwatukee, Arizona, this morning (11/5/21) at 7:30 a.m.
That store usually opens at 6:30 a.m.
When I arrived, the store was closed, with a handwritten note on the ordering kiosk that advised customers, "Open at 8:30 a.m.".
Actually, the store didn't open until after 10 a.m.
I called the corporate office at 1-888-621-8140 to report this situation.
I was put on hold, listening to some obnoxious muzak-style music for over an hour, at which point I finally gave up and hung up the phone.
Do you know what generally happens to businesses that operate haphazardly, varying the hours they are open for business without any advance notice to customers?
Do you know what happens to companies that don't answer their phone when customers call them, by open invitation?

1.888.624.8140 ... Well it looks like you scored our number. Feel free to give us a call with any questions, comments or concerns. We're here for ya!
And, that IS THE PROBLEM!!
They are NOT HERE FOR YA!!
Generally, those companies tend to lose all customer support and wind up bankrupt.
I like Wendy's restaurants.
I like the food quality, I like the prices and once upon a time, I liked the reliability of the hours of operation.
However, I must now reassess my previous opinion.
If I'm going to the trouble of driving to my neighborhood Wendy's store to buy food and I have no idea if it will be open or closed when I arrive, I will stop patronizing Wendy's.
In fact, not only will I boycott ever dining at a Wendy's store again, ANYWHERE, but I will also be sure to share my unpleasant experience at Wendy's restaurants with all of those with whom I am in contact, as I am right now.
KEEP THIS UP AND SOON WENDY'S RESTAURANTS WILL BE OUT OF BUSINESS, THEIR CUSTOMERS HAVING CHOSEN TO VISIT RELIABLY OPEN RESTAURANTS WITH SIMILAR PRICE ANDPRODUCTS, SUCH AS McDONALDS, BURGER KING, CARL'S JR., ETC., ETC., ETC., ETC.
It is especially disgusting that the Wendy's corporate office is unable to answer their telephone promptly.
I'm finished wasting my time bothering with Wendy's.
I VISITED THIS WENDY'S TODAY AT 8:30 AM.
THERE WAS A HANDWRITTEN SIGN ON THE ORDER KIOSK, WITH THE WRITTEN OVER NOTATION, "OPEN AT 9 AM".
AT 9 AM, THE STORE STILL WAS NOT OPEN.
I RECOMMEND BOYCOTTING THIS WENDY'S UNTIL THEY CAN OPERATE DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS.
ARE WE, THE CUSTOMERS, THERE TO ORDER FOOD OR ARE WE EXPECTED TO CATER TO THEIR UNPREDICTABLE SCHEDULE OF OPEN HOURS?
****BOYCOTT THIS CUSTOMER-UNFRIENDLY RESTAURANT****
THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE IN BUSINESS!!!! read more
