People are not gonna like that. They will pull into the drivethrough line to buy the same thing they paid $3 for the day before, and leave or buy something cheaper when they see it’s $4 right now.

Most of them are going to be on their lunch break, and have already wasted 15 minutes waiting in line to order. So they’re going to order anyways, because they’re stuck. They won’t have time to get in the new line somewhere else. They just won’t come back afterwards.

This right here. This is what would piss me off. On the off chance I walk in and order, the price changes by the time I get to the register to order.

People need to just go old school and start packing a lunch. It’s probably time I got back in that habit. I drive for a living and I keep a stash of meat sticks in my car, I should probably start bringing some hard boiled eggs and maybe some meat and cheese wraps for when I am really famished.

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.

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.

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?
