Today I tried a double cheeseburger with all the fixxins. Burger was a smashed style patty. Thin with a crispy crust outer texture. I did find the burgers to be a tad bit dry. The patties were slightly seasoned and a dash more could have helped. The fixings of pickles and tomatoes was on the order. The tomatoes were paper thin and only provided a transparent appearance but no substantial taste enhancement. Probably ask for extra tomatoes next time to make a tomato slice. Overall the burger was decent with a need of a little more seasoning for the patties and thicker tomatoes. I will give it another try and try a deli sandwich.

I ordered at 11:08 and no dasher was found for like 40 minutes so I ordered from uber eats from the Athens Wendy's. Not only did the driver say they didn't make my food, but that they were closing and weren't gonna make it. So I was relieved for a second but DoorDash actually found a driver. They sat there for about 20 minutes until it finally cut off and said that they were closed at 12:32am. Not 1am. 12:32.... They both canceled my order and didn't even make the order. These Wendy's in this area are the laziest I've ever seen. I can't stand most of the fast food around here. Now I'm just supposed to starve all night at work because they didn't want to make the food. I'm pissed off about this only because I'm sick and working overnight. If I hadn't had to come in today, this wouldn't have been a problem but here we are.
