Don't eat at Wendy's in California

Went to lunch at Wendy's Sunday. Wasn't until I was getting ready to leave that I noticed a BUG ZAPPER right above my head. If that wasn't bad enough, as I went to throw the garbage away, there must have been thousands of bugs crawling all over the window sill by the trash. I thought they were termites, but when I talked to the manager he said they were flying ants. WHATEVER! He said they send employees out every few hours with Raid and a broom and dust pan. I called the corporate office, but could only leave a message. Imagine that! I can't believe the health department will allow them to keep operating like that. I felt like I wanted to :barf: all afternoon.

Did you mention something to the manager, fill out and mail a comment card, or call the health dept?

ALL food service establishments are required to maintain a insect/rodent control program. Many of the zappers are sold by the food service companies for that purpose. Yup, kinda nasty to see it in action though.

After your posts about all of the bugs in your apartment, I can understand why you wouldn't trust anyone.
 
nobody really

I need a nap
Try the Fast Stop in Chesapeake Beach - one cashier - fixes you up a sammich, no gloves, then runs the register. I'm sure after she picks her nose those sammiches are YUMMY!!! EWWWWWWWWWW

Just got off the phone with the Health Department making my complaint. Said someone would be going out within the next week. I think I'll stop by on my way home and take some pictures!

I haven't been in there in years. My reason: huge swarm of flies coming from the kitchen area. I left and have never been back.

One of their health inspectors works for me (on the side). He's a real ass.

I've actually had some really good experiences with that Wendy's with the management. One guy with a messed up eye and the other with a ponytail. Both great guys.

So in other words, I wasted my time making the phone call because the management are good guys?

Stop telling me what to do.

p.s. the bugs are probably better for you than the 'food'.

No, you might have a legitimate complaint. I wasn't in there today, so I don't know what it was like. All I'm saying is that when I went in there, the management was helpful when I had a problem.

Actually, spiders are not insects. If people call stomach bacteria bugs, then spiders can also be called bugs.
