Wendy's

Love getting the chili and Pepsi combo, if only I had a more reliable ford raptor instead of my salvaged title v6 mustang! It would make getting there easier. Also my friend Sean ranklin had a bad experience with one of the customers who you might guess was 450 pounds and throws controllers when he dies in video games

I usualy take my wife to this wendys, she wont come with me anymore because this 520 lb man came out from behind the counter and said to the staff " ILL BE BACK TOMOROW" The staff all seemed terrified. He got into a 15 year old girls face and screamed "IM NOT HERE TO CONVERSATE, GIVE ME DONATIONS OR I WONT BE ABLE TO PAY MY BILLS THIS MONTH". I think he lives in his red mustang as is had the seats taken out and there seemed to be a makeshift bed made of old wendys paper bags, im not sure if they were all wendys i couldnt get close enough to see as when i approached him he threated to slash my tires

Was working late when a very large man, possibly 500 lbs, waddled in, holding what appeared to be a firearm up at me and my coworkers. He demanded all the chili and Pepsi in stock. My coworker tried to hide, only for the robber to shout "look here, look listen!" declaring that appearing "offline" would not stop the theft. As he waddled closer, carrying off the stolen chili, I noticed that the firearm was actually a PS4 controller. He loaded the stolen goods into a broken red V6 mustang and drove off into the night.

Great food and great service, however, the last time I went to this Wendy's, a 450-pound white man with glasses abruptly approached my table. He proceeded to say, "LOOK HERE! LISTEN! I am offering a monthly delivery to your home of my favorite magazines regarding new and modern vacuum parts. Also, you'd better Cash App me $20, or I will eat your chili." The man then took out his phone, opened the Cash App on the phone, placed it next to plastic-wrapped magazines, and declared, "SUBSCRIBE, DONATE, or GTFO!" I ran out of that place; this was by far the most deranged salesman I have ever encountered.

A pretty interesting experience, I'll give it that. I was traveling from Georgia to Delaware, and needed a place to get some lunch. I was driving for around 5 or 6 hours, probably dehydrated. I didn't want to deal with the crowds in Florence, and thought it would be cool to see how the South Carolina towns looked, so this was the place. My antiquated GPS said this would only be a 10 minute drive from the highway, but it was an hour. Maybe traffic? Regardless, This seemed like a pretty easy place to stop off, just go in, grab a thing of Pepsi and a sandwich, and continue with my journey. Boy, was I in for a surprise. I was inside, sipping on my large Pepsi and eating my baconator (which was pretty average), when the doors swung open. It was like a movie. This shirtless, large set man (I estimate 450 to 500 pounds) stomped in, his speed only contained by his chains. Behind him followed an officer- I think I made out "Ranklin"? So, this officer Ranklin guy is containing this balloon of a man, when, out of the corner of my eye, I see his nose twitching. All the sudden he babbles "I can't do it, I can't take this no more man!"... He then falls on all fours, and he dashes to the counter! Officer Ranklin tried to hold him back, but the force was too much- he had to let go! He reached the counter, stood up, and began to scale it. Officer Ranklin sighed, rolled his eyes, and begrudgingly shouted at the employees "Alright guys, it's a code Chili, put on your protective gear and follow protocol. Let's get this over with". The employees then dawned Wendy's branded PPE. A couple of employees loudly announced that the store would be closing, and apologized. They gave the people waiting in line free Wendy's discount vouchers as they escorted the customers out, some shocked (like myself) and others annoyed. As I was walking out with my half eaten baconator and half filled Pepsi, I heard "I just wanted to have a good game and have a good time-" then what sounded like dog whimpers. "I'm so sorry" he blurted. I think they attached an IV to him. Based on the "Code Chili" thing, one might think that it's an IV tube full of chili. What a bizarre experience. Anyway I appreciate how the employees ensured the safety of the customers, and even gave out the vouchers to compensate everyone. I guess the voucher is accepted at any Wendy's, I think it was called a Liquid Richard voucher for a Pepsi, since I was unable to get a refill. Food was very average. I'm not sure if it was fresh or not, but it tasted very alright, so no major complaints here. The Pepsi was decent. Fries were salty enough. A decent meal all around, kept me full for the next few hours. Now, I feel bad giving two stars for this, but based on the looks of the customers, the protocol, etc, this 450 pound animal seems to be here often. It completely interrupted my Wendy's experience. Despite the intrigue, I really wanted to chill in the air conditioned Wendy's and enjoy my sandwich before completing the next trek of my journey. The AC in my car sucks so this really screwed me. At least I had my ice cold Pepsi for a bit. I don't know why management won't fix this issue. It seems like other patrons reviewing here had the same problem. Perplexing. Overall, if you like Wendy's, and have some patience, go for it. Just be prepared for the massive man. If I'd known that it would be an hour detour, I probably would have eaten at the Zaxby's near the highway.
