r/Askreddit Fast Food Workers, What Is Your "Sir, This Is A Wendy's" Moment?

welcome to our slash ask reddit where we answer your most burning questions what story do you really want to tell but no one's asked the right question for you to bring it up our first reply is from robin downey once when i lived in japan i was riding my bike across the rice field at 6am the sun was coming up and there was no one anywhere which is so rare in japan just me on a dirt road between rice field for miles and miles and the sound of my bike then i heard a saxophone as i kept writing eventually i saw a man sitting on a stool practicing a saxophone just on the road between the rice fields he nodded hello to me without breaking play at all one of the most magical moments of my life then urethra replies dude you were in a studio ghibli film our next reply is from kindness on reddit so i would occasionally write post-it notes to myself if i was super drunk and something absurd happened my writing is illegible on most days i had a note forever in my wallet that looked like it was saying i am something eat something cucumber [ __ ] it kept me up at night trying to figure out what it said about a year later it dawned on me i saw a man eat a cucumber whole some dude at a bar was eating a cucumber like an apple and was so incensed and defensive from questions that i decided to stay away and documented for human history so combative yet being so unapologetically human it's been probably 10 years our next reply is from the bumbling bee my great grandfather lived in kansas when the dust bowl hit the u.s he and his wife lived in a really small town and he owned the grocery store after he passed away my family was going through the stuff in his house and found a box of letters he had hidden from everyone every letter was a thank you from different families he helped during the dust bowl people would be running from the dust bowl and pass through his town he would give them free food to last him until they reach their destinations many of the letters thanked him for saving their lives and stuff like that he took the secret to his grave literally not even his wife knew i've heard mentioned that maybe she wouldn't have been quite as pleased but i don't know about that i just think that's super cool and i'm very proud of him our next reply is from noodle nugget in the early 60s my dad had a nervous breakdown due to severe abuse as a child while in army basic training he went to a mental hospital and was released to his family when he was deemed well after a while he started hearing voices and was readmitted to another mental hospital around the same time my mother who had recently gotten divorced from her first husband lost her mother and she tried to commit suicide she was admitted to that same mental hospital they got married in 1965. our next reply is from sweet dengus when me and my slightly older cousins were kids they tried to convince me of falsehoods all the time i was and still kind of am extremely gullible i fell for hey gullible is written on the ceiling more than once one day when i was around 11 the older of my cousins was talking about how he was joining a lacrosse team i had no idea what that was so i asked him he explained the rules and the tools of the game and i was certain that he was lying to me that it was another prank there was no effing way that people ran around with small baskets on sticks throwing and catching hard balls that's insanity so i smirked and said sure and went on my way for the next several years whenever someone mentioned lacrosse i'd snicker thinking i was privy to a joke when i was around 17 a friend of mine mentioned that she was going to a lacrosse game i laughed and said kind of annoyed yeah i know the joke you can drop it lacrosse isn't real she was so confused and looked at me like i was crazy she insists she insisted that it was in fact real i insisted that it wasn't we looked it up online sure enough completely real i was utterly shocked and way more than a little embarrassed especially when i thought back to all of my weird responses to mentions of lacrosse so you know those moments when you're trying to fall asleep and that random memory of something completely embarrassing pops into your head and you just cringe at yourself well we all know what this guy thinks about when he's trying to fall asleep our next reply is from zadoom i was walking home from a school event late at night i'm a girl and i didn't want to walk home alone at night because well i'm a girl but i was too shy to bum a ride from someone when walking to and from school i always took a shortcut through cops of trees which shaved off about five minutes of walking time as i was walking i saw what looked like a person walking out of the trees i stopped they stopped i took a step forward so did they i stepped to the right they stepped to the right i was already scared but now i was terrified so i started yelling at the person hey i can see you what do you want don't screw with me butthole no response i took another step forward and the other person did too and then i realized i was being backlit by a street lamp and i had been posturing and screaming at my own shadow our next ask reddit question is fast food workers have read it what is your sir this is a wendy's moment our first reply is from displace yankee i was a shift manager at a mcdonald's in the very middle of a mall a guy walks up to the counter with several mcdonald's bags of food he says my wife came through your drive-through and you messed up the order are you sure she came through our drive-through yeah she told me she came through the drive-through and when she got home she realized the order was wrong y'all need to give us our money back and give us the right food i stand there confused while looking around the mall did she drive through sears or jcpenney to get here the guy looks around and finally realizes that he's in the middle of a mall he grabs the bags and huffs away that was the single greatest amount of human stupidity i had ever experienced until i joined reddit and down beneath this response we have an interesting comment from el pedrino fred this guy is an idiot but he knew exactly what he was doing get the money back get the right food then go to another mcdonald's and do the same thing hit three stores and it's an easy thirty dollars and at the end he gets a free meal so basically this guy's scam was clever but he was too stupid to realize that this game would completely fail with op our next reply is from max crabb i work at panera a guest calls in from the car and i hear several people in the background all giving orders for a pickup the first order is something simple the next order is an item that we don't carry a salmon dish of some kind i know there are some regional paneras that have or have had salmon but we're not one of them so i let them know hey i'm sorry but we don't carry salmon maybe and the person on the other end of the phone cuts me off and starts getting really aggressive yes you do you do they scream but i don't we don't so then i'm like hey maybe you're thinking of another chain we're very similar too and i start to list off some other places and they cut me off again screaming i know you have effing salmon what the f i ate it just the other day and at this point i'm just being honest with them and say hey man i don't really need this attitude we don't have salmon i can't make the dish for you you have us confused with someone else there's a long silence and finally someone other than the person who's been yelling says wait this isn't and then she says the name of some other place that totally isn't panera i say no and then everyone in the car starts yelling at each other and i hang up customer service is the worst and beneath that we have a similar panera story from lua esrella i recently went to a panera bread and overheard the employees talking about a customer's order in the notes it said chicken noodle soup no broth please i'm still messed up over this what on earth is chicken noodle soup with no broth just wet wet noodles with chunks of chicken our next reply is from do we want to go there first of all fuop for making me relive this now working at mcdonald's every single day at the same time at 4pm this old guy would come in and order his food most people knew that he wanted a special order overcooked the bejesus out of the paddy we started that up right when he walked in anyway that's not the problem the problem is this dude was forgetful as all hell and would demand a ceramic plate to eat on every time so that's when we would explain it to him dude this is a mcdonald's we don't have plates and usually he'd be like oh right but sometimes he would just rant about how he should have plates i saw him absolutely flip the f out because a girl stepped outside the break room with a plate of food she brought from home i knew you bastards had plates and we could never convince him otherwise after that day our next reply is from cadbury ovaltine daddy this dude came to the drive-thru i opened the window sir how can i help you i'm out of checks he replies calmly i'm not sure i follow you i say i'm out of checks he says again more impatiently right i heard you but i don't know what you want me to do about it you can pay with cash or card too the dude gives me a weird look then says oh this isn't the bank and peels out from the window i'm a pharmacist our next reply from aunt vodka it wasn't me involved but i witnessed it i worked at burger king when i was a teenager we're short staffed one day and the girl in the drive-thru was on break so our manager stepped in to cover her he was pretty old and didn't have the best hearing so most customers were pulling around to the window to talk to him as he was struggling to hear through the headset anyway this one guy rolls up to the window and shouts i want a large big mac meal and a coke please is that so dang hard my manager very calmly says my apology sir that won't be difficult he leans out of the window and points down the road there's a mcdonald's about three miles in that direction they'll be happy to help have a nice day sir then he just closes the window and walks around the corner out of sight i laughed so hard our next replies from 14k anthropologist as a former del taco employee i can confidently say that regular del taco customers are all mean and or idiots one lady in particular still makes my blood boil almost 10 years later it was taco tuesday three tacos for one dollar and we had over 50 orders in our queue plus a line of people putting in more orders we were slammed and understaffed and our wait time was extremely long even though we were trying our best so this lady was getting really pissed about waiting for her super important order of six sucky tacos defrosted and assembled by a guy who went to my high school but never actually showed up for class every time we would call out an order number she would sarcastically and loudly cheer and clap and congratulate us for finally learning how to do your jobs this went on for 10 or 15 minutes before i finally showed her our order board and said here's the order we're currently making order 15 and way over here is your order order 45 realizing how many orders were ahead of her finally prompted her to leave with no tacos so that we could continue fulfilling orders under the silent watchful gaze of our other 30 angry customers i hated working there then one day i showed up for my regularly scheduled ship to find a notice on the door that said sorry this location's closed so anyway i hate del taco our next reply is from yoda jerp i used to work at target and they hired a new girl who had previously worked at walmart to work the fitting rooms and by default the intercom system a few days after she started she was about to make an announcement [Laughter] this one's good a few days after she started she was about to make an announcement over the intercom and i guess habit took over because she started the announcement with attention walmart shoppers she realized her mistake and made a good recovery with you're in the wrong store the funny thing is that's exactly the type of thing where this girl probably felt super embarrassed by it but i bet everyone else was just amused by it except for maybe her boss our next reply is from universe bear i worked at a small roadside produce place my boss had a few different stalls so i was often left to run the stall myself i remember this lady walked up do you have any tomatoes sorry we don't but the place down the street has them then go there our next reply is from the insane potato this happened in an actual wendy's it's a bit long but trust me it's worth the read i once had a woman come to the drive-through and try to order mac and cheese i politely informed her that we didn't have that she insisted we did i told her we definitely didn't she got angry and yelled that yes we did i told her ma'am i've been working here for three years we've never had macaroni and cheese it's not something we serve would you like to order something else she says yes you effing do i can see it on the menu board it's right there in front of me on the menu i tell her i'm really not sure what she's looking at but we don't have mac and cheese and if it really does say mac and cheese on our menu board then that means someone's vandalized it she says no it definitely is part of the menu board and it is real and we do have it and she isn't leaving until she gets her mac and cheese cue literally 10 minutes of this back and forth all while she's holding up the drive-through line i finally got the manager to come over and deal with this after asking him for the 15th time because they don't pay me nearly enough to deal with people like this for that long the woman absolutely refuses to accept that we don't have mac and cheese she also refuses to order anything else and won't move her car until we give her the mac and cheese that we don't have we have a line of cars wrapped around the building now and everyone's pissed it's been half an hour and the line's not moved the manager tells her that if she doesn't leave he's gonna have to call the cops she screams that she can't understand why we're doing this and why we won't just serve her mac and cheese when she can clearly see it on our menu board right in front of her so we do have it and why are we lying to her my curiosity and exasperation finally got the better of me so against my better judgment i exit the building and walk along the outside to the drive-through order screen where the woman's car is i tell her to please show me on the menu where it says the words macaroni and cheese anywhere she points and confidently says right there with all the conviction of someone who is absolutely sure that they just proved some big dumb idiot wrong and that they'll be hailed as a hero i look where she's pointing i see it i sigh heavily as a bit of my soul dies i compose myself and say as politely as i can ma'am that's a picture of the orange slices that come with the kids meal we don't serve mac and cheese please drive away before the police get here she looks confused looks at the menu board again the realization dawns on her and she drives off without a word i go back inside and scream in the walk-in freezer for 10 minutes opie provided a picture of the oranges and for those of you who are listening but not watching they look like a bowl of oranges not like a bowl of macaroni and cheese that was our slash ask reddit and if you like this content then check out my patreon where i publish extra episodes also hit that subscribe button because i put out new reddit
