Wendy's driver was seen going into the store, and while waiting in the car Wendy had noticed a man in a suit smoking nearby and waved him over.
The two chatted for about 30 minutes and then exchanged phone numbers before she waved goodbye to the unidentified man.
Her driver then came out with a Verizon bag, got into the car and drove off.
According to The Sun, an insider claims that Wendy was 'drinking every day, even while filming the show.'
'Everyone is an enabler because they don't want to lose their job,' the insider said. 'They see it, they know it, they smelled the liquor.'
In 2019, DailyMail.com revealed that Wendy was staying overnight at a private facility run by the Pure Recovery Network in Long Island City, New York after she plunged into an alcohol- and pill-fueled depression when she fractured her shoulder during a confrontation with her cheating husband Kevin Hunter.
She broke down in tears on her show at the time, admitting she had been living at the sober home and was attending meetings around New York City.

The sighting comes exactly one week after Wendy revealed she tested positive for Covid as she struggles with other health issues.
A statement from her talk show's account reads, 'While continuing her health evaluations, Wendy has tested positive for a breakthrough case of Covid-19.'
The premiere of the 13th season of her show has now been delayed to October 4. This came after her show announced Wendy was canceling promotional events due to her health.
There was no mention of what exactly Wendy was grappling with, but this is not the first time the TV icon's health has kept her from appearing on camera.
Last year it was announced that she would be taking a break from her daytime talk show while she battled with health issues related to her Graves' disease diagnosis.
Graves' disease is an immune system disorder of the thyroid gland that causes anxiety, tremors, as well as puffy or bulging eyes.
Wendy's team has posted statements to the show's Instagram account, notifying the public of her health issues
Wendy was last seen on her show on July 16, 2021. Her team said she will come back for Season 13 on September 20, but that has now been pushed back to October 4
In 2019, Wendy was staying overnight at a private facility run by the Pure Recovery Network in Long Island City, New York after she plunged into an alcohol- and pill-fueled depression when she fractured her shoulder during a confrontation with her cheating husband Kevin Hunter. She's seen on a walk with Hunter before their divorce
It's been a tumultuous few years for Wendy, who has dealt with addiction, a cheating husband and divorce.
Wendy's troubles began in December 2018 when the star hired a private investigator to spy on her husband who she suspected was still carrying on with his mistress Sharina Hudson.
In 2017, Hudson had been at the center of a DailyMail.com expose revealing her ten-year affair with Wendy's husband.
After being told the secret affair was still very much alive, the TV host confronted Hunter demanding to know why he was still seeing the massage therapist. It was then that she injured her shoulder.
And finally in 2020, Wendy finalized her divorce from Hunter and he was seen moving out of their New Jersey home.
