"If there were a zero-star option, that’s what I would choose. The food was cold and dry, as if it had been prepared a day earlier. I ordered a chicken strip meal, but since I mentioned I didn’t need a drink, I only received chicken tenders. When I returned to the drive-thru, the employee informed me that because I didn’t want a drink, I was only eligible for 5 chicken tenders. The meal costs $5 and includes a drink, fries, and 5 chicken tenders, so I ended up paying full price for just 5 old tenders. It shouldn’t be this complicated—when I say I want the combo but don’t need the drink, I shouldn’t just receive 5 stale chicken tenders. Terrible service at Hardee’s in Gaston, NC. In my opinion, everyone there should be replaced with people who actually want to work."
