my life was threatened

Aye Carumba! Are we STILL talking about this? Dios mio.

I understand you. I also believe there are 2 kinds of people in this
world. Good and bad. You have the good people that are caucasian,
african american, hispanic... and You have "white trash" and "dirty
mexicans" and "niggers" and all sorts of names for different bad
people.

I think you encountered the bad kind, personally.

And no offence to all those out there who call each other a "nigger"
as a good thing. Ya'll are all cool. :)

Dude!

I have a friend who is, unfortunately a crystal meth junkie and he
thinks his neighbors have bugged his home and that they tap into his
Internet connection and steal his personal information (mind you, his
neighbors are in their 60's and don't even own a microwave!)

Whatever you are on, I hope you get some help!

excuse me, but if you REALLY felt like your life was threatened, you
would have called the cops from there from your cell phone (if you
have one) or talked to the manager right on the spot. You would NOT
have came on here and typed up a complain in which they might NEVER
see.

I'm getting hungry for a junior bacon cheeseburger

check this out

go back to the same restaurant and this time bring a tape recorder so
I can hear it for myself.

Why would anyone want to kill you? They don't even know you. Oh and
since when is everyone at Wendy's hispanic? Someone's a paranoid
racist...

Next time something like this happens and you can understand what they
are saying, just shout back to the kitchen in Spanish (or whichever
language they are using) something like: "Let's see what you got,
puta!" or "Oh, yeah? You gonna kill me with a plastic fork, tough
guy?"

I'll bet the shock of them realizing you understood what they said
would defuse the whole situation.

Plus, if a manager is around to witness this, you can tell him/her
exactly what the employee said.

Geez, getting some lunch can be a dangerous business.

You like to spice your letter up so it sounds more exciting don't you.
If not maybe you did something to piss her off.

I was in a fast food restraunt and the greek guy who took my order and
the spanish speakers in teh back started talking back and forth about
what they wanted to do and how they wanted to do it to me..and what a
b**** I was after I asked for a straw. Assuming I didn't speak
spanish.

I called the owner to complain about it the next day (he wasn't in, it
was his son that took my order).

It does happen though, he might not look like he speaks esp.

I'd be more concerned that my life was being threatened by consuming
two bacon cheeseburgers and a box of French fries. That'll kill you
faster than some pissed-off cashier.

something like this is really wrong but you made your emphasis on
"spanish" and "hispanic" a little too thick..does this have anything
to do with how you were treated?

Get over it Jose, if they really wanted to kill you the would have
followed you out of the store and shot you. You are just imagine
things, did you visit any bars before this occured, or did you mix
your meds.

It is getting muy hondo aqui. Get a life.

Ok, be real. Do you honestly think that if this really happened,
Wendy's International is going to call you and say, "Yeah we decided
to call in a crack team of psychic experts and they determined the fat
hispanic chic broke up with her boyfriend and decided that the best
way to let it out was to treat a customer bad."
How would Wendy's International have any clue of why you were treated
that way?
That in mind, what on Earth makes you think they could provide any
explanation, and why would you expect them to call you and explain
it?

Oh, so they ALL happened to be hispanic?

...I smell I rascist....

Oh, so they ALL happened to be hispanic?

...I smell I rascist....

There has to be more to this story. You cannot tell me that someone
out of the blue started talking to you like that and also started
threatening you, all without you doing anything at all. You just were
sitting/standing there and she just picked you out and started this.

I would love to hear the other side of this story.

If that really happened, then you would be calling the police right
now (or at the very least talking to the manager). I don't think that
Wendy's International can explain the behavior of any paticular
employee. This is truly one of the stranger letters I have read here.

Does this remind anyone of those weird movies like "Naked Lunch".
Where total strangers' faces start warping and twisting and they call
you by name and suddenly bark at you in baritone demonspeak: "The girl
with the mop. KILL HER NOW!"

I guess my question would be: Did the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger also
speak to you? And if it did, what did it say?

Jose, are you sure you didn't have just a little bit of "clear liquid"
before you walked into Wendy's?

C'mon, this is just between you, me, and that stainless steel tub of
sliced tomatoes over there. (It's been watching us for quite some time
now.) *twitch!*

Oh really? I like the part of your complaint: "It is best to cook my
food at home or to carry a lite lunch and drink with me anywhere I
go."

You sound like a child wanting praise and approval of your new "carry
along lite lunch" idea.

Don't forget to carry your meds with that new "lite lunch and drink."

Poor Wendy's, it never ends for them.

Surely not. Surely you weren't just minding your own business, when a
woman you have never had previous dealings with suddenly threatened
your life, using cornball mafia-movie lingo. Either you did something
to warrant this attack, you already knew this woman and had given her
some reason to want you dead, or Wendy's employs day patients from an
asylum. I'm not sure which of the first two I'm going to go with
here, but I will second ticky's shenanigans. *If* this happened, you
left out some plot points along the way.

Shenanigans.

Jose, i sure hope that that lady that threatened you does not see this
letter then she will really have a reason to kill you especially if
your letter gets her fired.

um i don't really understand. wtf is wrong with this guy. out of the
blue someone threatened you, and lets make the point that they were
all hispanics. yeah i, as a puertorican, threaten my customers all the
time. it's a latino thing. PLEASE. try writing a believable story.

I just find it incredibly hard to believe that you got told to go to
hell, got called a pig and were threatened with a wacking and you
didn't even protest at the time. Not to mention you decided to eat as
well.

You must be the worlds biggest pacifist. Those comments to me
would've started a brouhaha the likes of which would go down in urbane
lore as the time that crazy bastard got medieval on the staff at
Wendy's.

Time to fess up. I'm going to have to call the Shenanigan Patrol if
you don't come clean.

It's possible to take 'turn the other cheek' too far, amigo. If you
are telling the truth then you are either a modern day saint or a
fool. If you truly felt threatened, you should have reported it to the
manager on duty or even to the district manager if the store manager
proved unsympathetic. As it is, I think you are full of it.

A threat on your life? Get real! Since when does, "We are going to
wack you" translate to "We are going to kill you," ?

Are you on medication and forgot to take it? Someone threatens your
life for no reason? Come on------

... and then you told them all to "eff off" in Spanish? Right?
AMIRIGHT???

Then they would have been ZINGED!

This OP's behavior is unbelievable, given the treatment and
harrassment he's claiming. It's not logical, doesn't make sense... NO
COMPRENDE. His name is Hispanic, so wouldn't the Latino/a employees
assume that he could speak Spanish?

I just find this to be a crock. Sorry if I'm wrong. But I'm pretty
sure I'm right about this.

Wow
Ok, first the Mexican employees said nasty stuff to you in Spanish and
you understood it because you just happen to and didn't let on,
Then the lady decides not to take your order and clean tables and
while doing so, she says she will wack you which scared you but you
felt sorry for her.
And an additional hispanic employee who also was cleaning tables
called you a hog.
Did the one who said she'd wack you say it in Spanish this time? Did
she assume you wouldn't know, or is it clear to her that you
understand Spanish?
At first I thought wow it's a case of skinny hispanics against fat
fast food eating Americans, but then you said she was heavy and you
felt sorry for her. But the other one called you a hog.
Very sureal or twighlight zone like.
What happens if the letter is read by another hispanic at Wendy's
Inc?
Is your point that they are rude or that hispanics are rude? Ok I see
your name is Jose, so you are hispanic too. Very confusing letter.

Ok, calm down, the first thing you need to do is call the police and
inform them of the ensuing hit on your life. Tell them you are willing
to testify only if they change your identity, put you in the witness
protection program and send you to live in Elephant Butte, New
Mexico.

I can't help thinking this sounds like a script to a bad movie.

Yeah...right.

Someone threatens your life and you give them the benefit of having
had a bad day?!

Suuuuure.

Oh god, give me a break. If it was that bad why didn't you call the
cops????
