I’m guessing it’s really to extract shareholder wealth and then declare bankruptcy once everything has trickled up
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.
CEO: I want to have state of the art AI-enabled surveillance on all aspects of our business. No vertical, no horizontal, no customer, will escape the gaze of our panopticon!
VP: Sir, this is Wendy’s.
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.
I would have placed a big order, then just drive away
Most drive thrust now are built in such a way that it isn’t really possible with tight curbs on both sides.
What was that like?
It was technically smooth and got my order right, but the whole time I was irritated that the money saved on a computer doing the job was not likely to find its way to the employees preparing food.
Or the savings passed on to the customers.
It’s completely on brand though.
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.
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)?
It does seem out of date. I hadn’t used it in awhile. I hope it’s not shovelware.
TYVM!
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
I could not agree more. One of the very worst things about the “modern” web.
The app has zero permissions and takes up ~65MB.
The apple App Store shows lots of data linked to the user. Eh…
Oooo, that’s a neat site!
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.
Good to know, thanks.
Damn now I have to add it to the list with Steak and Shake
so they did this to themselves. nice.
I stopped ordering because the food is shit, but now I’ll never give them another chance
What a shame, I kinda liked their burgers back when meat didn’t make me kinda nauseous.
I stopped ordering from them because of the heartburn and reflux. I stopped meeting friends there because of their morals. And I’ll mock them endlessly for sponsoring their own destruction.
I hope that the employees from all these Wendy’s (nutsonyourchin, I’m sorry!) land jobs at Costco and that local restaurants succeed at establishing roots in the ashes of this cursed company.
Go woke go broke lmfao
That Wendy is kind of a bitch wow
With how expensive fast food is now, you might as well just go to a slightly more expensive place and get a higher quality burger or whatever.
I used to love Wendy’s and went to Wendy’s a little while ago and just got a burger no fries nothing else and it was like 9 dollars. I was blown away and never want to go back. All these cheap chains jacked up their prices and saw temporary profits but then customers realize it’s not a good deal and stop going. Late stage capitalism really sucks.
Of all the fast food restaurants, I still go to Wendy’s like once a year. And you aren’t kidding. The 4 by 4 shrunk, and before, it was $4, but now $7.
The one-use app coupons brought it back down. But f that noise.
It’s still cheaper than the average lunch in my city, where meals cost $12-15.
A lot of sit down restaurants are about the same quality as fast food used to be and twice as expensive. It’s just not worth it to eat out
That hasnt been my experience at all. If I go somewhere for 2x the cost of fast-food, the quality is usually far ahead
Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer … or whatever…
But the CEO did receive his yearly 999999 milion dollar bonus, right?
Of course he will as will the shareholders see record profits. Doesn’t matter if they kill the brand to do so either.
Wow, nine hundred ninety-nine billion, nine hundred ninety-nine million dollars! No wonder they’re not profitable!
Wendys, if you stopped reheating your burgers so they’d taste better, maybe you wouldn’t have to close so many stores.
They removed my favorite sandwich, the grilled chicken, from the menu. It had the best macros out of all fast food chains too :'(
I stopped going to Wendy’s maybe over a decade ago when they switched from clean, classic fries to fries with potato peel & extra dirt flavor. Marketers will advertise potato peel & dirt as premium value, and dumbass Americans will pay extra to eat it up.
Interesting, in Canada they never changed from the clean cut.
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.
ಠ_ಠ
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.
Jesus christ…
Hope you’re doing better.
4 years clean as of last month, thanks for caring :)
That’s incredible, well done. I’m sitting here in awe of your fortitude and determination. Four days of breaking dependence is great, four years is magnificent. I hope conditions and your strength see you through another four, and many, many more.
When I said bring back the 90s I did not mean health and food insecurity!
Have they tried not having shit food?
“Sir, this is a Wendy’s” “Where you you think we are right now?”
dramatic music
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.
I ended up at one this weekend and was taken aback by the prices.
So, comparable to everyone else in their “food genre”
Yes…
Yeah, we used to do the $4.20 meal. Four items off the dollar menu plus tax was $4.20, usually JBC, nugs, fries, frosted. Paired great with a joint. Many, many trips back in those days.
NJ changed their state tax, and thus ruined the $4.20 meal.
Wendy’s used to be good, but all the ones around me are not well run at all. Burger King is the same way.
Sir, this was a Wendy’s.
Now it’s a weed shop.
Not for long!
Was looking for this comment. Was not disappointed.
Wendy’s uses prison slave labor
More details please!
The slavery part is because prisons use prisoners as slave labor with no rights to organize or unionize, negotiate wage or benefits or hours, etc. they are used for some of the most physically demanding and dangerous jobs or ‘leased’ to private businesses like equipment. Prisons, especially for profit anti human shitholes, use the 13th amendment as legal cover to abuse and oppress the people they are charged to protect and care for.
The Wendy’s part has two points: agriculture and to a lesser frequency staff at restaurants
Here’s a pretty thorough article including a history, mentions Wendy’s on page 10 with a link. It references a survey from 2016 where 76% of prisoner respondents reported they were threatened if they did not work.

And a document including specific issues with Wendy’s and their corporate response
https://www.iccr.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Wendys-2025-Exempt-Solicitation-FINAL-1.pdf
AP also ran a multi year investigation that showed how multiple major corporations including Wendy’s use prison slave labor while lying about supply chain ethics, but I don’t have a link to their detailed reporting just summaries
Given the latest trends in child labor laws, they could try having little waitresses in Wendy costumes.
Listen here, Dotard. You’re in enough deep shit with the Epstein files.
