Wendy's sign(l), Woman talking(c), Bag of chicken nuggets with text "This is literally so petty. I was recording because I was excited to see the crayon toy thing from Wendy's. But I am so tired of prices going up so much and consistently receiving bad service. They should've told us they didn't have the toys when we ordered it. Not charged us more for no toy I'm sorry (shrugging emoji x3) We ordered a jr. bacon cheeseburger by itself and a 4 piece nugget kids meal. That is a $5 biggie bag."
