The other day Katie and I decided to do something crazy and leave the building for dinner. Knowing that we didn't have much time to eat we chose Wendy's, seeing as it's close and the food is generally better than most other fast food.
So we walked into Wendy's and there was no line, of course this also meant that the person working the counter had wandered off to do some other 'work' or something. So we waited ... and waited ... and eventually the drive-thru guy shouted "someone's at the coutner." Which I thought meant someone would come right out and serve us. So we waited some more and then the girl making the burgers shouted "there's a customer at the counter." But still we waited some more.
Now I started to think, "this is getting ridiculous." So I pulled out my iPhone, loaded up google maps, and searched 'Wendys 14226' to which I got the response "did you mean Wendy's 14226?" So I finally found the phone number for Wendy's (which as anyone who has used an iPhone knows is a relatively lengthy experience) and called the number for the store. I could hear the phone ringing behind the counter as it rang on my end, finally someone picked up (after about 10 rings) and I just stated "Hi, I've been standing at your counter for about 10 mins and I was just wondering if you have anyone working here today" and I hung up. Finally 30 secs later the manager came out, looking like he just woke up, and took our order.
We did get the food for free, but I also managed to embarrass Katie pretty bad.
