Curse of the Jr. Cheeseburger
With Dave Thomas gone Wendy's is falling apart.
Here are some facts:
- It doesn't matter which Wendy's you go to - they will all give you the wrong thing at the drive-thru
- You are almost certain to receive the right burger if you order at the counter
- Problems aside, the Jr. Cheeseburger is still downright delicious
It's hard to describe how sad it makes you feel when you think you're about to enjoy a Jr. Cheeseburger but then open the wrapper to find mayonnaise, lettuce. tomato, bacon, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with these things, but when I'm in the mood for pancakes I don't order pizza.
Yesterday this whole situation took a turn for the worse. I went to Wendy's and ordered chili and a salad from the value menu, but then at the last minute I added a Jr. Cheeseburger to the order. As I was on my way back to work I cracked open the bag and was pleasantly shocked to find that they provided the correct burger! This is the first time the order was correct since I began tracking their ineptitude. Exuberantly, I went to take a bite but instead received a giant paper cut on my lip from the wrapper. The trauma of instantly going from complete euphoria to such despair almost made me nauseated.
The burger was still good, but the delicious flavor was tainted with my blood. I must learn to let go of the Jr. Cheeseburger. It isn't meant to be.
