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.
It’s completely on brand though.
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.

Explains why they haven't updated the menu since forever. Conservatives fear anything new.
Explains why the whole chain is dogshit. Dining areas closed, drinks give you diabetes, chicken is fried to death, nuggets are stale, burgers have forever chemicals in them, cookies are the wrong flavor. Literally everything is designed to be crap.
Good to know, thanks.
I stopped ordering because the food is shit, but now I'll never give them another chance
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.
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.
Cool, but I'm skeptical of how accurate this is. According to the app, Amazon predominantly supports Democrats (by a 2 to 1 margin), and donated to Kamala but not the Orange Pedophile. That seems fishy seeing how Bezos was getting the VIP treatment at the inauguration. Am I misunderstanding something (won't be the first time)?
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
The app has zero permissions and takes up ~65MB.
Same I love me some Wendy's chicken nuggets and sandwich. A frosty once in a while is nice. Even enjoyed some of their breakfast stuff they added a few years back. Not a damn cent since Trump 2024/figured out they repub donors. Eat shit. Love driving by and seeing the Wendy's empty as fuck.
so they did this to themselves. nice.
In the late 80s and early 90s, Wendy's was the best for dumpster diving. You could get a basketball-sized sphere of ground meat out of the trash around 2-3am. Peel off the outside inch or so, and you'd have meat for days.
Dominoes dumpsters were another source of awesomeness back then. It was a very different time.
There's a Wendy's by me, a few summers ago in the drive thru lane cockroaches would just climb on your car, windshield, it was nasty as hell. This happened twice and I told a friend about it, and he's like "Oh you mean the roach Wendy's." Sigh. I was coming down off meth binges so I didn't really care, just needed enough hot food to pass out.
And that's my pitch for a Wendy's commercial, which hasn't happened yet.

McDonald's owned a large number of it's locations prior to the real estate boom. As a consequence, they were more aptly described as a real estate management than food services business model by the late '00s.
A lot of their relative success has come from avoiding the crippling rent increases other fast food vendors have had to endure.
Have they tried enhanced features like dynamic pricing and day-part offerings, along with AI-enabled menu changes and suggestive selling?
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.
To be fair, ingredients have continued to climb in price, especially beef. The fast food model was always unsustainable without sacrificing quality even further and raising prices.
Fast food likely would have been fine… if wages increased as much as the prices did.
The fact that the minimum wage doesn’t increase every year, yet prices do, meant that this was always going to be a recipe for disaster.
Oh 100%, completely agree with you there.
Look at the prices of your salads and then deal with that! They were good salads (before out of the blue you halved the size as if we wouldn't notice). You even upped the four-for-four without adding anything.
Wendy's brought this on itself
I fucking love the summer salad. I can't afford it, so I've only had it like twice, but it is delicious. I don't get how a pile of leaves can cost more than $10
I used to love Wendy's! Then one day they shrunk the patty/tomato/lettuce they put on the JBC to the point where the thing is like 80% bun and I was done with them.
Wendy's was a big part of my coming of age days..1$ double stacks sustained me during my senior year in HS...These days their food is shitty and overpriced.
Sir, this was a Wendy's.
Now it’s a weed shop.
Messed with the fries four times too many.
Yep their fries are awful
OK, I've seen this episode before. Which Private Equity is it?
They merged with Arby's in 2008, so none.
They're publicly traded but still have a high stock ownership by private equity. Arby's is directly owned by private equity.
I liked their old flat square burgers, dammit. Anyways, I knew they were in trouble when I saw Wendy's branded chili in cans and Wendy's branded burger patties at the grocery store.
Wendy's used to be good, but all the ones around me are not well run at all. Burger King is the same way.
Have they tried not having shit food?
