I'm still a big fan of freckle bitches, but the quality on their classic chicken sandwich has been going down and their service has been wavering but if they pull this shit might stop buying them all together, they are already one of the more expensive fast food options. won't be hard since I already cut down a bunch.
Another place to avoid.
For nostalgia's sake (I worked there for a couple of years), I like to have a little Wendy's when I'm back in the US (they sold/merged their Japan business with another company. No frosty here). Not going to happen ever again if they do this shit.
I've been to wendy's a handful of times (I don't eat much fast food in general). Thanks to this news, I'll never consider there again.
It’s been many many years since I’ve last eaten at Wendy’s. Not sure why I’d start now.
Isn't this just a badly branded happy hour?
The sad hour
i stopped going there when they switched to plastic cups
Haven’t been there in at least 15 years now that I think about it
I struggle to understand the people who are angry about this one. I'm not saying it's a good business move, but it's not like it hurts the general population
With fast food, you're already paying a premium to get prepared food on demand. The people who can't or don't want to afford it can avoid the premium pricing by planning ahead and packing lunches from home.
This is basic supply and demand economics at this point. If prices go up, demand will go down as people move to other restaurants that are cheaper, or stick with groceries.
Now if it was a grocery store doing this, I would feel differently. But fast food is not a basic human need.
You're not wrong but they're still assholes. Shit like this is only explainable when you give up and accept that this capitalist hellscape is our only option.
