This is why I stopped ordering from them.
Also, they have Palantir AI tangled in their management and running the supply chain.
The same company that is trying to make the entire world a surveillance state, and are giddy about their AI being used to kill military targets.
CEO: I want to have state of the art AI-enabled surveillance on all aspects of our business. No vertical, no horizontal, no customer, will escape the gaze of our panopticon!
VP: Sir, this is Wendy’s.
A couple months ago I went to a Wendy’s and AI took my order.
That was the last time I went to a Wendy’s.
I would have placed a big order, then just drive away
Most drive thrust now are built in such a way that it isn’t really possible with tight curbs on both sides.
What was that like?
It was technically smooth and got my order right, but the whole time I was irritated that the money saved on a computer doing the job was not likely to find its way to the employees preparing food.
Or the savings passed on to the customers.
Explains why they haven’t updated the menu since forever. Conservatives fear anything new.
I stopped ordering from them because they pay their employees garbage wages and expect them to perform like they’re being paid at a king’s ransom.
Case in point the Wendy’s near me was running with two people for over half a year. This was long after the pandemic by the way.
This is good to know. Now I have more ammo to never go there again. I will miss their spicy chicken sando tho, it’s my favorite of the fastfood chicken sandos, but that’s a small price to pay.
Where does one get this analysis?
This is an app called “Goods Unite Us” on Android. I think they have a site and iPhone app too.
Or you can just use the website and not take up room on your device and let them data mine you.
everything has to be an app needs to stop
I could not agree more. One of the very worst things about the “modern” web.
With how expensive fast food is now, you might as well just go to a slightly more expensive place and get a higher quality burger or whatever.
I used to love Wendy’s and went to Wendy’s a little while ago and just got a burger no fries nothing else and it was like 9 dollars. I was blown away and never want to go back. All these cheap chains jacked up their prices and saw temporary profits but then customers realize it’s not a good deal and stop going. Late stage capitalism really sucks.
Of all the fast food restaurants, I still go to Wendy’s like once a year. And you aren’t kidding. The 4 by 4 shrunk, and before, it was $4, but now $7.
The one-use app coupons brought it back down. But f that noise.
It’s still cheaper than the average lunch in my city, where meals cost $12-15.
Wendys has the best deal on a meal that I know of, if you are really hurting. You can get the $6 bag which is about 800 calories plus drinks. You could technically survive on $7 a day there if you drink a few drinks while there.
I looked it up, and assuming I’m looking at the right one, the price and availability differ depending on location. I’d be kind of surprised if it’s that cheap where I live.
I’m in the U.S but some states have extra taxes and stuff. I’m in a poorer part of the U.S
A lot of sit down restaurants are about the same quality as fast food used to be and twice as expensive. It’s just not worth it to eat out
I’m guessing it’s really to extract shareholder wealth and then declare bankruptcy once everything has trickled up
I’ll guess something with “equity” or “capital” in its name is behind it.
Wendy’s used to be good, but all the ones around me are not well run at all. Burger King is the same way.
“Sir, this is a Wendy’s” “Where you you think we are right now?”
dramatic music
I stopped going to Wendy’s maybe over a decade ago when they switched from clean, classic fries to fries with potato peel & extra dirt flavor. Marketers will advertise potato peel & dirt as premium value, and dumbass Americans will pay extra to eat it up.
Interesting, in Canada they never changed from the clean cut.
Have they tried not having shit food?
Messed with the fries four times too many.
Yep their fries are awful
They removed my favorite sandwich, the grilled chicken, from the menu. It had the best macros out of all fast food chains too :'(
But the CEO did receive his yearly 999999 milion dollar bonus, right?
Of course he will as will the shareholders see record profits. Doesn’t matter if they kill the brand to do so either.
perhaps make quality food with quality ingredients instead of making diarrhea sandwhiches
Given the latest trends in child labor laws, they could try having little waitresses in Wendy costumes.
Listen here, Dotard. You’re in enough deep shit with the Epstein files.

What’s that?
Kim Jong Un has entered the chat.
The better of the national fast food chains imo. At least they used to be.
Fast food is supposed to be cheap. No reason to eat at these places anymore.
Wendy’s was a big part of my coming of age days…1$ double stacks sustained me during my senior year in HS…These days their food is shitty and overpriced.
Yeah, we used to do the $4.20 meal. Four items off the dollar menu plus tax was $4.20, usually JBC, nugs, fries, frosted. Paired great with a joint. Many, many trips back in those days.
NJ changed their state tax, and thus ruined the $4.20 meal.
You know when the US is in trouble when burger store is closing
