ITT: people who didn’t eat fast food anyways stroking themselves at the thought of the poors getting poorer. The only people eating Wendy’s go here because it is their comfort food and they probably feel like it’s the best option. They will pay the higher prices.

I mean, I used to eat fast food before it became ridiculously expensive.

You have a point about that ‘comfort food’ thing. Some people are legit addicted to this stuff and will never admit they can’t afford it or it’s too expensive.

These are the people the businesses are banking on exploiting.

Wendy’s won’t last. Their quality is so bad, their menu is terrible, they deserve to die and this will help.

Wendy’s is the busiest fast food restaurant in town where I live, and I consistently see most locations being very busy, so… no? They’re not going anywhere.

Probably due to the 6$ biggie bag. If prices keep going up, I cant imagine people will keep going. I had to stop after they got rid of the 5$ menu. The food taste too trashy to be worth any more than that.

We don’t have the biggie bag here in Canada, least not where I live.

They aren’t the busiest here, they are the slowest though. They always have a line wrapped around the building, but that’s because the line hardly moves.

Based of this line of thinking then they’re absolutely going out of buisness. The one near me is lucky to get a couple of cars at a time.

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.

Yes. The burgers I make myself in a pan are better than just about any restaurant and all fast food because I can season it myself.

It’s actually sad how bland burgers taste in comparison. They don’t need to be that way.

If you aren’t able to own a grill, perhaps you should be avoiding fast food since it’s a rather small amount of food for the cost?
