6 Reasons Why Wendy's Is My Favorite Fast Food Restaurant

Everybody has their go-to fast food place, whether it's Panera Bread, Chipotle, McDonald's, Arby's, etc... so I'm here to share my absolute favorite fast food chain: Wendy's. Now in my opinion, Wendy's is extremely underrated. In addition to the love I already had for the food products since I was a young child, I discovered a lot of information about the company's social responsibility and environmental sustainability for a class assignment, which only solidified my adoration even more. Here it is: why Wendy's is plain and simply, AWESOME.

1. The ketchup and mayonnaise combination

Most people think that this combination is disgusting, but seriously don't knock it until you try out. It might not sound delicious, but believe me it is. Every time I go to Wendy's, I look forward to that tasty sauce on my hamburger.

2. The burgers

On that note, the burgers themselves are amazing. I can eat two, three, sometimes even four (which I know is wildly unhealthy), but I don't go all that often, so I'm allowed to treat myself every once in a while. The meat might not be luxurious like you'd have at fine dining restaurants, but it always makes my taste buds smile.

3. Frosty's

Do I even have to explain this one? It's a milkshake. Enough said. You can choose from Chocolate or Vanilla. Now, not only can you get an an appetizing meal, but you can even get a mouthwatering (and cheap) dessert as well. Sign me up!

4. French fries

I'm very selective about my french fries. They have to be just right, and Wendy's has managed to fine-tune this popular food choice and it makes me very happy, to say the least. They're nice and crispy and they even contain traces of sea salt and as a beach lover, that's just an added bonus.

5. The logo

This might not be food related exactly, but how can you not love their logo? It's a little red-headed girl with a huge smile on her face after the founder, Dave Thomas's daughter. Fun fact: his daughter's name wasn't Wendy, but she couldn't pronounce her real name, Melinda. Wendy was her nickname and it stuck, so Thomas named the restaurant in her honor.

6. Chicken nuggets

Last, but of course not least, their chicken nuggets. I was never a huge fan of chicken nuggets and I still prefer chicken fingers at most places (if you say there's no difference, stop lying to yourself), but Wendy's is different. Their chicken nuggets are top dog in my book.

I don't know about you, but I could really go for a Wendy's hamburger, french fries, and Frosty right about now. Maybe I'll see you there!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
