I recently visited the Hardee's restaurant at 1590 First street in Winston Salem, 9:30 AM, September 26, 2023. As I was exiting my car, a black male was standing outside the entrance door talking on a cell phone. This individual yelled to me, "drive through" which told me the dining room was closed. About that same time another couple was walking toward the door who heard his comment about the drive through only and continued walking out of the parking lot. As I was leaving the lot I rolled my window down and casually mentioned to this individual that they (Hardee's) was losing business by not having the dining room open. He yelled back and said he only had one person working which reinforced my belief that he was the manager. As I continued to drive off he yelled "f___ you" and I returned the compliment. As I continued to drive off he said in a threatening manner, come back here and do something about it! Recognizing this individual had no regard for customers and certainly no regard for the Hardee's Corporation I didn't feel a confrontation would serve any purpose. When I arrived home I attempted to call Hardee's customer service and was directed to their website. I don't expect anyone from the corporate office will read these comments, but I have no intention of ever doing any business with this restaurant chain again. You'd think they would spend a little more time vetting their employees instead of hiring throwbacks?
