Wendy's is failing and closing hundreds of locations

they're too expensive
they're pushing prices comparable to five guys but without the quality

>>21704712 (OP)
>fast food restaurant closures are national news

Do Americans really?

>>21704712 (OP)
This is the predictable outcome of the corpo suits taking over after Dave's death.

>>21704746
yeah it's kinda big financial news when a company fires ~10,000 people

>>21704712 (OP)
They should have focused on a smaller menu of decent things rather than having a gimmick every 2-4 weeks

baconator is a greasy fucking mess and bacon itself is a fucking meme

>>21704761
Gimmicks are why anybody has other fast food places other than McDonalds on their minds. The Baconator is the perfect burger -- there's nowhere else to go except to suffer entropy.

I'm sure that they, like all fast food chains these days, are missing the fucking point of fast food entirely. If customers have to jump through seventeen hoops to order their slop at a reasonable price, they'll just stop jumping. They're too fat to fit through the hoops, anyway. When you alienate your base, your downfall is inevitable.

I like Wendy's, but there isn't one in my town.

>>21704712 (OP)
That's good news overall. Fast food is terrible. I'm depressed when an actual mom and pop local place closes.
What kind of faggot gives a FUCK about corporate fast food? Especially now that it's WAY overpriced?
Sure, it'd be better if it were mcds, but they all suck desu, and Wendy's lost my support years ago anyway.
Not
worth
the money

Burn all of them down.

Good. Bring back my “old fashioned” yellow Wendy’s with a combo meal for 7 dollars. Otherwise I will continue to not eat there

>>21704822
It’s always funny when people say shit like this like is some sort of principled defiance. You’re just doing a capitalism exactly as intended.

It's too expensive

>>21704780
Yes retard, Five Guys is quality. You are a rape victim retard

Press S to spit on grave, fuck these faggots for switching to shredded lettuce
I work at a public middle school and the spicy chicken sandwich there is literally better than Wendy's.

i was just thinking about "i wanna rock your body, and then in parenthesis, 'til the break of dawn"
'aw baby -cough- that's rockin'"
like an hour ago

>>21704753
33 people do not work at each wendies, likely only 5 or 6

>>21704712 (OP)
they lost 90% of their workers. I have never been to a Wendy's that's not entirely run by mexicans

>>21704712 (OP)
They cranked their prices up to absurd levels while at the time reducing their portion sizes and quality. That's just not how business is done, even if it appears to "work" in the short term. They used to be the burger place that was basically McDonald's but tasted like it was made of real food. Was proportionally more expensive because of that but all in all was a decent place to get a very standard burger very quickly. This wasn't even all that long ago I'm talking about either. Being a kid in the early mid 00's, it was pretty much the default "cheap food" option for my buddies and I while we were out riding bikes or whatever.
It's nearly fucking inedible now and wildly fucking expensive. I've also noticed the employees always seem very fucking rude compared to other places. I don't expect anybody to dickride me at the fast food window but holy shit at least don't be a fucking cunt on purpose.
Pretty much same shit with all other fast food. Any semblance of the old pricing can only be achieved through apps and every restaurant delusionally believes that either every idiot keeps all of these apps on their phone at all times or that they're somehow the special one that people actually want. It sort of worked at first but now I just say "fuck it" and make the burger myself.
>You know how goddamn bad American fast food has to fuckup to get lazy burgers like me to cook instead?
>Absolutely insane

based

>>21704916
bro you're like a fastfood historian

These companies need to suffer. Their prices do not match up with inflation. It's pure greed.

>>21704712 (OP)
This would be the perfect time to laugh at them on Twitter. Remember the Twitter banter between the two? McDonald's needs to go in for the kill

>>21704924
Nice sarcasm ya got there, Mr. McIDF

their new tendies are fucking good, better than raising canes. no side of bread, though. and although it's cheaper than RC, the tendies are .still a little expensive at around $12 for a 4 piece combo

>>21704712 (OP)
Good riddance. We need less fast food places.

Dave Thomas is rolling in his grave baka

>>21704820
>I'm depressed when an actual mom and pop local place closes.
this wont prevent that, in fact this is a sign that more of those businesses will be closing and they already are.

retard

>>21704746
yes a recession and market crash is national news. retard

grab a mop

They have good chicken sandwiches, baked potatoes and chili. We just got one in our middle of nowhere rural area a year or two ago and it was a big deal. I also like their fries and find them unique. I hope they stick around as they're unique in the fast food landscape and good for something different every once in awhile.

Letting Chaim and co take over is suicide. Ford v Dodge.
>YOU ARE ONLY TO GIVE US MORE MONEY THAN WE INVESTED FUCK YOUR CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES
>b-but if sales are falling we need to raise prices or else we shareholders don't get profit

>>21705166
Try dipping the fries into the chocolate frosty. It sounds weird, but the combination is amazing anon.
It's a rite of passage.
