14:56 not an acronym... I've heard it called an "initialism" *shrugs* An acronym is when the initials of a group of words can be read as a word (e.g. LASER, RADAR, YOLO, FOMO). If the initials are just something that shortens the name, it's not an acronym (FBI, NSA, MPH, even LOL).
I think they were apologizing to the other customers who witnessed the mishap? Either way, the person who tried to get money out of Wendy's should be the one to pay and hopefully got charged with defamation.
Thank you! generally an apology comes after an investigation has taken place and the company is indeed found negligent. #19 shouldn't be on the list at all.
Neither Wendy's nor Taco bell needed to apologize in the first place. Wendy's knew that it was a scam and Taco bell has, as a restaurant, the right to change the menu as they pleases.
What about the chik fil a customer for demanding whomever is responsible face consequences- How you gunna be mad at someone using the n word when your kid thought that was his name till he was 3? It’s all ridiculous.
Being from the UK I can tell you it’s been a hard few years. Between Brexit in 2016, the great KFC shortage of 2018, and the queen passing in 2022. Things just haven’t been going well
Here's a fact about Wendy's chili meat. (Being a former employee) The meat is chopped up by the employees at the restaurant with the cooked meat patties that is "over cooked" for customers. We used washed spatulas to chop the meat until it's fine enough to be used for the chili. With that being said. They shouldn't have to say sorry.
The Pepsi commercial from Arby’s was hilarious even more so when I understood the sarcasm in the voice. They were basically saying sorry we to so long that you had to call us out, new commercial ideas are hard.
I know! The Helen Lovejoys - like many of the complainers listed in the "incidents" - would wail: "Oh! Won't somebody PLEASE think about the children!" Haha!
I remember hearing about that "footlong" Subway sandwich that wasn't 12 inches. Someone actually took the time to measure the sandwich? I've ordered footlong sandwiches myself and I would always eat them, not measure them.
30 people got food poisoning at Denny's restaurant in Florida in 1999, and I was on of 12 people that got food poisoning from bad shrimp in an Outback restaurant . All of us got free meals from both places for a year. The last story is horrific. No apology can ever fix that. That day was a start of the most evil events to ever have happened
10:30 This one seems ridiculous. I was in NH (aka in the New England area) in 2018 when this Super Bowl happened, while in college. I'm not into sports, but I cheered on the Eagles for fun while watching it in a cafe on campus (I'm from NJ). I was literally one of 3 people cheering them on. In all seriousness, who gives that big of a stink over a sports logo on a cup you're gonna throw out after you're done drinking your shit? 🤦♀️
Some of these are a bit unfair to the companies because it was their suppliers that made the mistake. These suppliers sell to multiple food chains and restaurants.
Some of these things are patently ridiculous. I don’t understand why subway would have to apologize. They didn’t know Jared was a pervert. And the Starbucks employee asking a cop to leave and more to do with two idiots than an entire company. I don’t get it.
There was an episode of Black Mirror in which a pedophile (who was the protagonist in this episode) worked at a subway. I think it's called "Shut Up And Dance".
Funny that after the Jared Fogle Subway controversy, they included a South Park clip for the second Burger King controversy. It's funny because Jared was in South Park in several episodes, the last episode he appeared having him being portrayed as a predator, as well as a boss in South Park The Fractured But Whole, again portrayed as a predator.
Taco Bell has the wrong idea. People don't want less to choose from. They just want food that makes sense. Saying "we're done trying to be creative" doesn't make it more enticing
Notice how the most controversial ones weren’t in the US? Can take a lot from that. Namely how easily we want to overlook something as intimate as the food that’s being served to the public.
My mother worked for Food Maker, Inc. in the 90's and she had drank the Jack in the Box Koolaid and was ranting about "the farce" daily. But she's the type to defend them to this day because of some weird sense of corporate loyalty.
aw, the arby's pepsi commercial is cute. Reminds me of that commercial they had during covid where they just reaired the commercial from last year, but scratched out a sandwich they no longer had in the background.
I am honestly surprised food poisoning isn't a more common thing in fast food. I work at dominos. I work my ass off every day to ensure we have a safe and clean environment, and make sure all food is fresh. But one person bot paying as much attention, could effect hundreds. We serve hundreds of pizzas a day. If something was to happen to the dough or cheese and we don't notice, it could effects hundreds of people. You have to be very careful in the food industry
The Arby's Pepsi commercial is fucking hilarious. I definitely don't think it should have been added in a "Worst Apologies" list. It was just Arby's poking fun at itself for forgetting.
I say DD had no reason to apologize. T-shirts and other promotional materials are made for BOTH teams in the final and the wrong ones are sent to charity. If you don't like it, don't go
The same thing happened with Dunkin Donuts in April 2016. Chicago Blackhawks cups were delivered to St. Louis. The Blues were playing the Blackhawks in the first round of the playoffs. (The Blues won in 7)
As a Canadian, I find the 'english only' signs at Tim Hortons hilarious. Try going to a Quebec city restaurant and not speak french. You'd be lucky to get service, even if your server spoke english.
I'm a Patriots fan as you can tell but the Cups with the Eagles logo is kind of funny. I mean it's not like you're going to keep the cup unless you're an Eagles fan.
I worked for an Arby's when I was 18. It was not too uncommon to run out. We would start calling all the near by stores to see if we can grab a few roast. And sometimes we had to give them to the other stores. During the 1 dollar roast beef sales it was really bad.
I have a funny story relating to the custer's play on words joke a sonic. Sonic apologized about their use of some guy's name as a joke. In upstate NY there's a roadside custard store named "custard's last stand." A play on words based on a historical event involving him. There's a business named after this guy and one ad is too much for some people.
It is graceful grief and sweet sadness to think of you, but in my heart, there is a kind of soft warmth that can’t be expressed with any choice of words.
That part with the Krispy Kreme doughts is an example of what happens when you're NOT fully taught history. Albeit that was in the UK and not the US (where the history happened), but there are certain aspects of human history that are taught internationally
lol Mojo be like excuse me Wendy’s you need to apologize to the perpetrators who falsely accused you of putting a finger in their chili. even though it was them who put the fake finger in the chili. you still need to apologize
A local alternative weekly did an annual Best Of issue and without fail Wendy's always won for best chili. They eventually wised up and stopped making selections based on a reader survey. Now they honor crappy stuff selected by the staff.
In a lot of these ppl are getting their undergarments in a knot for no good reason... common, grow a sense of humor and stop taking life so seriously... it's way to important to get offended so often. No wonder there are so many issues these days... ppl get insanely offended at the dumbest things.
Almost every single one of these entries with only a few exceptions is about the worst mistakes made by these companies and not worst apologies for said mistakes. They really should change the title of this video.
I'm so glad I'm not famous because it's like being in the courtroom of public opinion every day of your life where you're being judged and you get no do-overs.
To me, Wendy's Chili should not be considered edible as whatever burger sits too long on the grill to be served normally will become the product in question 😐
It's hilarious how insanely liberal watchmojo is, talking about how racist some of these places are, then when KFC not having any chicken is brought up, they immediately use a clip from The Boondocks showing black people being mad about not having chicken.
As a Sigma Hustler, I was deeply disappointed when the lawsuit against Wendy's was dropped for being "Fake". It was our 9/11 for those engaged in various hustles. So many dead rats, locks of hair and fake fingers that will never be used had to be burned and no longer could we get free food or large checks for not going to court.
