You're getting your "Wendys" confused:

my 85 year old dad and I go out of our way for Wendy’s chili.. but they screwed up not using the original bun instead of those big doughy, butter flavored kaiser hamburger buns on their Big and Juicys.. IMHO it ruined the Dave Thomas original old fashioned style hamburger/cheeseburger..

can you image the outrage if White Castle started upscaling their rolls into some kind of Kaiser roll?.. they’d go out of business..

I no longer buy Wendy’s hamburgers because the original hamburger Dave Thomas invented with the perfect bun doesn’t exist anymore

The Wendy's in Nicevklle Florida would screw up my order abojut a third of gthe time I went there. I quit going for several years and tried it again about a month ago. I ordered a double with nothing on it but mustard and got one with cheese.

Earlier this year, we stopped at the one in Greenville, Alabama and it was the dirtiest Wendy's I have ever visited.

things like that are a bit like “loss leaders” (no markup but get the people in the store). you get someone in to buy the thing that costs $1 with little markup margin, but then they buy the fries and the drink, high-margin money makers. Place looks busy, more people go there. win-win.
My husband likes Wendy’s. The one’s we’ve eaten at have been pretty good luckily. We discovered Steak n Shake here in FL and they are amazingly good, real old-fashioned ice cream milk shakes too. Also the Checkers here is awesome. so good we actually avoid it so we don’t get too fat lol.

Were you texting them your orders?

“We’re talking 130 outlets out of 6650 or <2%”

Sounds like Wendy’s is sequestering their low performers.

I’ve never had an order filled correctly at a Popeye’s or Church’s chicken.

I went to Wendy’s twice in 2006. The second time, the service was so bad that I haven’t gone back since. My guess is that the quality of the food and service wouldn’t have slipped if Dave Thomas was still running the show.

You are correct on the price rise on ff. Just Mon am I headed for Ck Fila when and as I was getting close I recalled a Denny's very near, and thought, wth, I might as well go to Denny's since it wont be much more expensive. And besides, I havent seen Madge in 7 years, or more. I thoroughly enjoyed it too; the ultimate skillet served on the double was the goods and the coffee top notch. Did some freepin and mingled with folks who apparently all knew each other...

Who is the Redhead that is featured in their commercials these days? What a beautiful woman.

Here she is now. Still radiant as ever.

So a company that has items as low as one dollar can't make it in this economy? But I was told repeatedly that "Happy Days Are Here Again" by the fool box.

I've never seen more empty storefronts in my life. I imagine all the heartache and broken dreams these failed businesses represent.

And then I picture Zippy on one of his five-star vacations.

There are two exceptions to that, the nation’s capitol and the surrounding area, because of our tax money pouring in, and Texas, because of the free economy. We just moved from Biloxi, Mississippi to Denton, Texas last year and it’s like night and day!!

We now have several jack in the box locations in Johnson County. I remember back in 1990 White Castle had to be in a beige building in Overland Park.

“Based on their recent ads, had a “baconator” the other day”

Ditto. But both my wife and I got instant tummy aches after eating the damned things. Tummy aches that lasted a LONG time! Never again!

We do still love the chilli though.
