When is the last time you saw a Wendy’s ad?
That sucks for me. I like their chicken honey biscuit sandwiches and Dave’s Triples. Haven’t gone often, due to money getting tighter.
Anyhow, time to use my leftovers for a midnight meal. I am using a $3 bowl of Nissin ramen, plus the remnants of a Kirkland pot roast and some buttered yams, alongside a spot of Better than Bullion.
I stockpile several of these pot roasts ($17ish apiece) each CostCo trip, and find them especially grand in a savory stew if I dice them up.
Just raise your prices more, I’m sure that’ll help!
I literally stopped going there after spending $15 and still being hungry.
I’m sure a Wendy’s has just opened in my town. In England.
Also in england - my town had one for about a year. it recently shut down and is being reopened as … a Popeyes?
Good riddance. I haven’t given them a dime since their new CEO tried to make his mark at the company by introducing
dynamic pricingprice gouging.Apparently that POS left Wendy’s in July 2025 and now works at The Hershey Company, but the damage is done. I’m never going back. There are better local burger joints around here anyway.
And before that, PepsiCo, so if “CEO” wasn’t enough indicator that he was a complete ghoul.
Yeah Pepsico 2019-2024… And Pepsi is still operating in Russia today unlike competitors that left because of the invasion of Ukraine.
Guy is a complete piece of shit and regularly makes the shittiest decisions. At this point it seems like he’s one of those CEOs the Board hires to implement the shit they want but don’t want to take the flak for.
Has Hershey’s made any changes like that yet? If not, it’s probably around the corner.
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.
What about the CEO’s new yacht though? I’m sure it’s very nice.
Culver’s is great it’s just too bad they refuse to set up shop in California. The closest ones are right past the border in the side of Arizona.
Culver’s is… interesting.
I find I don’t like the paper-thin style burgers much (though the fish sandwich is probably the best fast-food fish sandwich on the market) but it always gives the impression they’re trying a little harder. The restaurant always seems clean and a bit of effort was done on the appearance, like they’re still in 1978 and taking the family for a sit-down meal there might be an option.
OTOH, the customer base seems to be people who have been going there since 1978, but that could be my location.
They’re opening a new one 3km from my house, next to a McDonalds that hasn’t made a single order correctly since it opened in ~2015, so it will be interesting to see how the market shakes out.
Yeah, the last time I ate at a Wendy’s I was astounded by the decline in quality, especially in comparison with their increased prices.
P. Terry’s if you’re ever lucky.
Culver’s is the goat
Too bad because it was great food in the 80s and 90s. Started to slip around 2010. Got pretty bad around 2015.
If you don’t mind me asking, what changed?
Food is still good at my location, just not worth $15.50 for a medium combo.
“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.
“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.”
We’ll be saying “when the mess started” for decades.
I went recently and it felt shallow and I instantly regretted from a $$ and upset stomach standpoint.
The Wendy’s by me are all owned by the same guy and the service is terrible at all of them. I haven’t been to one in years.
I’m sure a predatory shareholder scheme is at work here too
Funny, the only burger place I got to anymore is Wendy’s.
Man, I’m sorry. Maybe try veganism.
I didn’t say it’s the only place I get burgers from, it’s just the only burger place I go to.
When all the combos are $10 or more, I no buy the burger anymore
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.
I mean, potato skin, in my opinion, fucks. I can’t disagree with the decline in quality, though.
Have I got great news for you!
