Channel Your Inner Detective: Gather Your Evidence (But Skip the CSI Kit)
Before you fire off a flame-grilled email, take a moment to gather some intel. This will help Wendy's corporate team understand the situation and hopefully get you back on the road to burger bliss faster. Here's what you'll need:
- The Date and Time of Your Visit: This helps pinpoint the specific shift and crew who may have been involved.
- The Location: Which Wendy's did you visit? Knowing the store number helps pinpoint the franchisee.
- The Order Debacle: Be specific! Did your fries taste suspiciously old? Was your burger missing a key ingredient? The more details, the better.
- Receipt (Optional, But Helpful): This little slip of paper has the magic touch, containing the store number and order details.
Pro Tip: If your culinary catastrophe involved a mobile order gone wrong, screenshots can be your best friend!
