Wendy’s customer shamed by worker for wanting her change back

A customer claims she was ‘shamed’ by a Wendy’s employee for simply waiting for her change after a food order.

TikToker Emily Haswell (myemtv) was waiting for her order at a Wendy’s drive-thru, when an employee tried to keep her change, before shaming her for wanting her 64 cents.

“Y’all today I was picking up lunch at Wendy’s, the only fast food restaurant that inexplicably sells baked potatoes and I looked in my wallet to pay and I realized I had cash, which is amazing cause then it’s like lunch is free, right?” she began in a viral clip.

Her lunch totaled “six something,” and she gave the cashier $7. However, upon receiving the food, she said the worker just wished her a good day. “I said, ‘Oh, I think you forgot my change,’” Emily recounted. “Tell me why this man looked me dead in my face and went: ‘You want 64 cents?'”

Looking stunned, she recalled thinking: “Yeah, I want my 64 cents, I’m not asking you to dig in your own pocket for 64 cents but…unless the price went up, during this transaction, yeah I’d like my 64 cents.”

She continued: “We’re in a recession, I got a 2-year-old at home, p*sses like diapers don’t cost money. Do I want my 64 cents? Anyway I got home and he only gave me 55 cents back.”

TikTok users flooded the comments, sharing their own similar experiences. “No but why did this happen to me yesterday at Wendy’s?! Then they said they didn’t have the change,” one person wrote.

“Same thing happened to me I asked for my change which was 80 something cents and he said oh I thought you were leaving a tip…in the drive through??” another shared. “I’ve had this happen!!! why do people think I don’t want my money just because it’s coins?” a third added.

“Girl, yes… I had to start telling the guys at the gas station that I wanted my seven cents back,” someone else commented. “I realized they were keeping it every time…NOPE.”
