Eli Did he call a shop? bar? restaurant? hotel? Restaurant is closest. Is this a story you would expect to find on notalwaysright.com? Is that a forum for tales of terrifying/awful customers? If yes - then no, probably not. Balin Did you work at the business? Nope Did you take the call? And thus, nope | ||

Vesica - notalwaysright.com is a site for sharing tales of scary, awful, or just plain stupid customers. It's also a veritable breeding ground for lateral puzzles, simply because some of the situations are so ridiculous they almost can't be believed. | ||

Did the business serve food? Drinks? Yes. To clarify: It is a restaurant, sort of. DOYD. Kayleetonkslupin - AH! I think I've seen that or something similar. But my previous answer stands - No, you would not expect to find this story on that site. | ||

No that it was dirty? No that there were no straws/condiments/napkins? No Was he complaining about something that was his fault? Sort of... But he made it look like it was the restaurant's fault? No Shez was he complaining about the temperature of the food? drink? No did he complain because someone else was served before him? No did he complain about the temperature? No the music? No the cleanliness of the place? No parking? No other people? No A brief RECAP: He called Wendy's to complain about something. (And I can't believe he did.) It was not about: Any aspect of the food or drink. The Wendy's in comparison to any other restaurant. The restrooms, the cleanliness (or lack of), the temperature or the music in the Wendy's. Other people, the cashier, or lack of a waiter. It WAS Yes-ish/Yope about "service". | ||

Did he intend to steal money from the cash register? From where isn't relevant. But yes, probably the registers. Did he intend to rob the restaurant when it was open? Closed? Open. Ooh, if the former, did he try to rob the restaurant but it was closed, and he called to complain that they weren't open so he could rob them? No, but this is on the right track. The FA is now quite pronounced here...Might want to figure that out. Also, go back to the puzzle statement. A detail is getting lost in all this. | ||

No Good enough for a… ***** SPOILER ***** An armed robber that held up an Atlanta Wendy’s later called the same store to complain and ridicule the staff for having so little case.

Was he identified and brought to the attention of authorities as a result of his 'phone call? The news blurb was posted about 3 weeks after the robbery and call. At that time, he hadn't been caught yet. |
