ITT: people who didn’t eat fast food anyways stroking themselves at the thought of the poors getting poorer. The only people eating Wendy’s go here because it is their comfort food and they probably feel like it’s the best option. They will pay the higher prices.
Imma broke bitch, it sucked giant ass when the biggie bag went from 4 to 5 then to 6 bucks in my area. There is no delusions of grandeur when eatin at Wendy’s, is jus cheap an becoming less an less.
I mean, I used to eat fast food before it became ridiculously expensive.
You have a point about that ‘comfort food’ thing. Some people are legit addicted to this stuff and will never admit they can’t afford it or it’s too expensive.
These are the people the businesses are banking on exploiting.
I just go to local burger joints now, it’s the same price and the food is better, and (probably) someone local is getting money and not some ceo across the world who doesn’t care about my local economy or people.
it’s the same price
You know, this wasn’t true until recently.
Fast food as gotten stupidly expensive.
Well of course but we aren’t talking about 4 years ago we are talking about now.
Yes, I’m just highlighting how the rhetoric has changed.

In an environment of painful (almost insulting) food price increases everywhere, Wendy’s decides to remove price predictability from the equation, ensuring that I never know what I’m going to pay, except that I can guarantee I’m going to be gouged when I most want to eat.
Yeah, I don’t care what they sell. I don’t want to be treated like that.
Damn, I like some of their food. I guess this is a good reason to stop going there.
Fuck you, Wendy’s.
Patronize your local burger joints instead, it’s an excellent opportunity to get to know the local businesses.
I do that too. But they don’t have a drive thru and are getting rarer and rarer.
In my town there are only tourist traps and major chains left. One of the last mom and pop style restaurant that was around for 100 years was demolished.
Gross.

Awww.
There are no local burger joints. For several hours drive in every direction from me, every burger place is a chain. Sure some local restaurants also serve burgers, even the Mexican places because burgers are such a staple of American food, but none of them dedicate any real skill or quality to it. No local place dedicated to burgers would stand a chance competing against all the chains and every other bar and grill that makes everything else in addition to burgers.
Wendy’s won’t last. Their quality is so bad, their menu is terrible, they deserve to die and this will help.
Wendy’s is the busiest fast food restaurant in town where I live, and I consistently see most locations being very busy, so… no? They’re not going anywhere.
Probably due to the 6$ biggie bag. If prices keep going up, I cant imagine people will keep going. I had to stop after they got rid of the 5$ menu. The food taste too trashy to be worth any more than that.
We don’t have the biggie bag here in Canada, least not where I live.
They aren’t the busiest here, they are the slowest though. They always have a line wrapped around the building, but that’s because the line hardly moves.
Based of this line of thinking then they’re absolutely going out of buisness. The one near me is lucky to get a couple of cars at a time.
It’s amazing the nose dive their quality has taken
This is great! Considering I haven’t had Wendys for years and this is another reason not to!
I actually haven’t either when I think about it, I last got my husband a Frosty about a year ago when he was hospitalized and it was the only kind of food he could tolerate, but I can’t think the last time I ate food there.
Because only rich people are entitled to access to food.
Even McDonald’s is seeing lowered sales due to these high prices. People are only willing to pay so much for grease with a side of “chicken.”
Cool, guess I will continue to avoid fast food.
Smart.
Dear Wendy’s CEO,
This is not Uber. This is a Wendy’s.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
I’ll simply never go again myself.
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 $3.
I thought the burgers tasted like sawdust myself.
Indeed but as a broke teenager on my own those 99 cents deals kept me somewhat fed.
Yeah, just a run of the mill chicken sandwich combo is 15$ and it looks like a toddler slapped it together with food he found in the trash.
toddler slapped it together
They’re going to start charging for the boogers, which are not optional.
and it looks like a toddler slapped it together
I think it’s funny how food quality is down, service quality is down, yet they still want to charge higher prices.
Like, it’s not even worth getting fast food because I don’t want to deal with the disgruntled employees who blame me for making them do their jobs.
Yeah, and I’m introducing “no more eating at Wendy’s” pricing.
Wendy’s seems blissfully unaware that’s there’s plenty of adequate competitors in the burger market. It’s a great time to get to know your local restaurants.
McDonald’s is already out of the running. A mcdouble and medium fry is 8 bucks.
I only eat from the deals menu, redeeming points or when they do something like the chicken sandwiches 2/$6. You have to be smart about eating at mcdicks, if you just roll up and order whatever you will definitely spend more money than the food is actually worth.
Burger King is my go to, Impossible Whopper is great for vegan me and it’s reasonable still. I mostly go to local places though. It’s worth it.
Just a heads up, the Impossible whopper isn’t exactly vegan

Not sure how strict you are. No judgement here, just thought you might want to know
OMG I am strict. Ok that’s done. Thank you.
BK has a bankruptcy issue rn. Same with Sonic and a couple other American chains
Oh wow I didn’t know.
Theyre probably hoping people wont notice
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.
A combo anywhere I go is over 10 bucks. What do they want from us, consumers are already being overmilked like a skinny cow
They want us to take out a loan to give them more money.
What’s going to happen is people will stop buying there. I hope anyway. I like a treat too but I’ll give my local joints money first.
Some people will. But others will never admit that fast food is too expensive.
They’ll just complain they’re not making enough money.
At least with Uber it made some sense. Higher prices and this payments to drivers was meant to compel more drivers to head out to pick up the increased demand.
But here, there are no surge wages, nor are employees coming in to cover a rush.
Wonder if they’ll only pay them in wages earned during a surge.
