“I’m making this a priority in your life, starting today”

So I've been working in a Wendy's for a few years, awful decision, but it was convenient while I was in school. A few months ago, I went to one of our manager meetings (because a third of the staff are managers at this point) and the higher-ups were upset at our customer reviews, apparently. They weren't bad, per se, they just weren't good enough.

I just adore that somebody really had the audacity to say something like this. Anyways, first post on the sub, glad to be here, but upset it needs to exist.
