Dear Wendy’s CEO,
This is not Uber. This is a Wendy’s.
I haven’t been in years. Their food has been terrible ever since they changed their fries so many years ago. I used to eat there when I could get jr bacon cheeseburgers for 99 cents but now even that’s like $3.
Yeah, just a run of the mill chicken sandwich combo is 15$ and it looks like a toddler slapped it together with food he found in the trash.
This new CEO of Wendy’s would be wise to remember that fast food is a convenience not a necessity. I’ve got a nice little propane grill in the backyard and I know how to make a square patty. I don’t need you, you need me.

Good for you, unfortunately there are many people out there that can’t afford a propane grill or a backyard.
Okay? Skillets exist. Countertop George Foreman grills exist. Either of which can be purchased for $30 or less and will last for years. There are multiple affordable ways to make a hamburger without a yard if you’d like to do so. Not sure why you’re trying to shame me for daring to say that I have an outdoor grill so I’m just gonna go ahead and block you. This isn’t worth a moment more of my time.
I remember when Dave Thomas was still alive. I loved Wendy’s quality over most everyone else, so I would prefer them even if something else was closer or cheaper.
THE VERY NEXT WEEK after Dave died, there was a very noticeable drop in burger patty size and quality. I basically stopped eating at Wendy’s after that.
I’m sure this is also what Dave would have wanted.
There’s a reason why the powers that be have been focusing on promoting businesses over people.
People have standards. People have pride. They can feel shame. Businesses can’t. There’s no one to blame when they lower their standards. They’re predictable and easy.
Pretty sure there’s a similar story with the Costco founder being the only thing keeping them from raising the price of their hot dogs.
Where I am, the price of fast food is just about equal to some restaurants. There’s no point in doing fast food anymore.
There is a local hamburger joint 3 blocks from my house that is far superior in taste, with lower prices, why the fuck would I ever go to endys?
If that place isn’t getting enough business, maybe you should suggest they advertise their prices.
A simple sign showing how their prices compare to the competition’s goes a long way.
I probably wouldn’t stop in a hole in the wall, just because they usually charge as much or more than chains. Doing what I suggest would change my mind, if the prices were right.
I say this to some many people. Wendy’s can get some good deals sometimes. Like BOGO spicy chicken, but if I order a meal from any fastfood place around me then just no. I would be better off just going to my Mexican restaurant across the street. On Tuesday is taco Tuesday (obvs) and you get 3 tacos, beans and rice for like $8-$9. They other deals weds, Thurs, but not as good as that Tuesday deal.
We’re so bad at employee management and don’t want to pay a living wage, so we’ll charge you extra when we’re busy. But wait, there’s more, we’re still not going to pay a living wage to hire more employees, so you’re not only going to pay more, but your wait will still be the same.
