    Too bad because it was great food in the 80s and 90s. Started to slip around 2010. Got pretty bad around 2015.

    Wendy’s deserves to go under.

    Few other places have hyper-inflated their prices to not pay their employees more nor improve their food quality quite like Wendy’s has.

    Culver’s and maybe some local joints are some of the very last places its worth buying a burger from. Might as well solely make them at home for now on.

    “Sir, this is…n’t a Wendy’s anymore. Hasn’t been for, oh i don’t know, years by now. Closed sometime during the Tramp Presidency mess.”

    “you’ll continue to see hamburger innovation as we move throughout the year,” Cook said.

    Everyone eating real food elsewhere due to a lack of “hamburger innovation” at Wendy’s, raise your hand. Thought so.

    I went recently and it felt shallow and I instantly regretted from a $$ and upset stomach standpoint.

    Wendy’s went to shit when they ruined their chicken sandwich by trying to copy Popeye’s shitty sandwich and cheaping out on their french fries by leaving the shitty skin on them, ruining the cheese fries. They never had good burgers and the frosties were always outclassed by a real milkshake. And I ONLY went to Wendy’s as a kid. Really fucking sucks they made the choices they did but at least now they are paying the price. Now if only pizzahut would get owned too for removing the nice dine in experiences with the saladbars for “modern” aesthetics.

    Weirdly, and I don’t know how long it’s been there, I saw my first Wendy’s in Australia recently. No intention of going but I wasn’t aware they’d come here.

    It always cracks me up to see how pissed off at fast food restaurants people on social media get over really specific things like “I’ll never eat at Wendy’s again after what they did to the chicken sandwich.” Or, “They ended 5 for 5 Tuesdays and since then I’ve never been back.” To me it’s all gross and not even food, so I don’t ever eat there. It’s especially funny on Lemmy where people are pretty left and in one comment calling for abolishing capitalism and the next getting pissed about how McDonald’s chicken nuggets only come with 4 pieces instead of 5 now, or something.
