Those MOFO's forgot to put MEAT on my hamburger like 7 years ago. Never went back. Place is always empty as it should be.

Given the latest trends in child labor laws, they could try having little waitresses in Wendy costumes.
I liked their old flat square burgers, dammit. Anyways, I knew they were in trouble when I saw Wendy's branded chili in cans and Wendy's branded burger patties at the grocery store.
"Sir, this is a Wendy's" "Where you you think we are right now?"

Reduce revenue (instead of addressing the store issues) to raise profits. Got it.
perhaps make quality food with quality ingredients instead of making diarrhea sandwhiches
One thing I liked about Wendy's is that the chain uses/used real vegetables on its burgers. Even the cheapest burger on the menu (the deluxe) has a real slice of tomato, an actual leaf or few of green lettuce, and a couple of rings of onion.
Of the places I've eaten at in recent history, they've all clearly dropped in quality and increased in price to varying degrees. However, I'm surprised to see people say things like Wendy's is the worst fast food chain because that doesn't exactly align with my experience at all. And for the record, I'm not saying it's great food, either, just that it's not the worst by far. Obviously it's a very subjective measure and there's lots of variation from location to location or even between regions and it also probably depends on the types of things you'd typically order.
To me, the worst offender of all the ones I've been to in the South and Midwest USA is Taco Bell, by far. At least for the things I would typically order, the price has gone up the most while the size and quality has gone down the most. While the service is sometimes good and sometimes bad, the food itself is consistently terrible seemingly regardless of location. No, it was never good food, but it's definitely gone from meh to yuck.
All that aside, Wendy's doesn't exactly strike me as the type of restaurant where closing stores makes the remaining ones more appealing. For that to work, it seems like the current stores would have to be too densely placed (i.e. Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks and a Starbucks in the store next to that Starbucks) OR the food would need to be good enough to actually motivate people to drive further away for it. Honestly, I know it's not the latter, and from my experience, there are fewer Wendy's than most other fast food chains, so it seems like the former wouldn't apply either.
They removed my favorite sandwich, the grilled chicken, from the menu. It had the best macros out of all fast food chains too :'(
Wow its like meatpacking monopolies have consequences.
I'm seeing a trend lately... Hard to put my finger on it. I wonder if we'll get some numbers from the US government.
Remember that buffet?
Does this mean that people will finally stop posting that stupid "sir, this is a Wendy's" line?
I went to a Wendy’s last year. They just opened one near me so I figured why not. They wanted me to put my order in on a touch screen. I walked out. If you can’t employ people to take my order I won’t visit your establishment.
Touch screens are actually pretty great imo. You can see all the options they have (and not just what they put on the menu screens for that day/week/season), see any extra options you can do (like Taco Bell has a "grilled" option for their burritos), customize it exactly how you want it, and best of all you can take your sweet-ass time.
I generally don't mind ordering on a touchscreen, but every time I've attempted it at a Wendy's in the last year (multiple locations in different towns) I had to go to the desk because something wasn't working
I'm trying to imagine a world where all fast food went out of business.
Change your fucking FRIES already! I love Wendy's hamburgers but I also like french fries and I will skip you and go to the MCDS right across the street. Not to mention the MCDS app let's me get crazy cheap deals on meals all month long. I can use the deal every day of the month. Another large chain that fell asleep at the wheel of complacency.
In the post image, is her collar supposed to subtly say "Mom"?
Yeah, always has. It's one of those hidden symbols in corporate logos, like the arrow in the FedEx logo between the E and the x.
