we can only hope the backlash to this is intense (financially speaking) and enduring to the point that they reconsider this bullshit.

I hope they lose millions on this. If the whole company goes out of business, it would serve them right.

They sucked when they originally changed the recpie, but then they changed it again within the last few years and they're abo e average now. Still nowhere near Checkers/Rally's or McDonalds, though.

Well at least they are up to average now. I stopped trying when they changed the recipe from gross to more gross.

You are really right about Checkers and McDonalds. Say what you want about the McD menu generally, but the fries are top tier.

Charging more for popular items during lunch and dinner rushes is a choice. No one cares about your Baconator that much, Wendy's.

For real, I can either spend $12 at Wendy's or McD's or Taco Bell, or I can spend that same $12 at the Korean taco restaurant near me and get way better (and more) food

I stopped going when two of their chicken sandwiches were $15-20.

Surge pricing means I'll never go ever.

Stuff like this will become the new normal. Sure people our age and older think stuff like this is stupid. But the younger generations love stuff like door dash and uber eats. I watch co workers drop 50 or more dollars on sushi for lunch when you can literally walk down the street and get the same food for a lot less. They do it daily too I don't get it. Meanwhile I am sitting here eating a sandwich and salad I made at home.

Yeah, because of the convenience. Not because it costs more when it's busier.

I don't get it, we just saw a report on how consumers are turning away from fast food due to pricing and they're gonna try making it more expensive at certain times? In what situation does this ever end up successful

Didn't even realize that poster was still around, guess they've blocked me as well lol.

Which is weird because we don't even beef, I wonder if it's because I called him out on his gimmick of never having a fully grammatical correct post. He does this weird thing where he'll always have at least one fuck up even if it's just a single letter and I've noticed it for years now so it definitely feels like a gimmick.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Eh I don't know about that, the worse I ever did to him was ask why he seems incapable of making a fully grammatically correct post.

Him and I were on the Politics board for years and he's always been like that, so much so that it feels like a gimmick cause at times it'll be a flawless post minus one obvious fuck up which spellcheck would catch.

Feels like a weird gimmick that serves no purpose other than making him seem less intelligent in this posts than I'm sure he is.

He dropped that a bit before he blocked me.

Surge pricing... do you think they'll do DIP pricing? $1 burgers at 1am ? I use the Wendy's app. I only go when it's $1 Dave's Single with Purchase, or free 6pc Spicy with Purchase coupon days.

At first I thought it was an inhouse delivery service but its for their entire menu? Bring it on. I wont eat there. I only eat fast food on sale anyway, ot if i get a gift card, that new taco bell menu has been a devil in my ear tho. I also do once or twice monthly culvers visit. Other than that I go to the equally priced casual dining restaurants instead. Stuff like this will be great for my diet. Lets go Wendy!

The worst part is that no one wants this but fatfucks will always go back to the trough.
