Wendy’s has been going downhill ever since Dave died.
No thanks Wendys lol
This is great! Considering I haven’t had Wendys for years and this is another reason not to!
I actually haven’t either when I think about it, I last got my husband a Frosty about a year ago when he was hospitalized and it was the only kind of food he could tolerate, but I can’t think the last time I ate food there.
The next logical step is to use facial recognition to
discriminateestimate how much money is in each customer’s wallet to dynamically price the food.The funny thing is, businesses already do this.
Prices for ‘digital goods’ tend to vary depending on the country the user is paying for them in.
It’s just another shining example of how businesses charge the most people are willing to pay, not the minimum to keep the lights on.
A combo anywhere I go is over 10 bucks. What do they want from us, consumers are already being overmilked like a skinny cow
What’s going to happen is people will stop buying there. I hope anyway. I like a treat too but I’ll give my local joints money first.
Some people will. But others will never admit that fast food is too expensive.
They’ll just complain they’re not making enough money.
They want us to take out a loan to give them more money.
Imagine walking in, seeing a price on the board, waiting behind someone with a big order, and by the time you get to the counter the price has increased. I forsee yelling and fights happening in lines.
They will stop doing this when the poorest people are just sitting around the restaurant waiting for the price to go down.
If you only had $3 and the price of a burger was above that, you would just wait. The restaurant is sometimes nicer than sitting outside. They can’t kick you out, because you’re waiting to order. Now they’re going have like 3-5 bums waiting around for the price to drop.
It’s just stupid. Although I did go to a bar like that once that was pretty fun. It had a stock market board with drink prices that went up and down. You would go up there hoping to get a particular drink, but come back with something else because it was half off. It’d be like “tequila shots $7” but “red wine $3.50”! Wine it is!
Bars are scams.
You can get an entire bottle of liquor for $11.
You can get an entire bottle of wine for $3.50.
I foreseee never stepping into a restaurant like that.
At least with Uber it made some sense. Higher prices and this payments to drivers was meant to compel more drivers to head out to pick up the increased demand.
But here, there are no surge wages, nor are employees coming in to cover a rush.
Because only rich people are entitled to access to food.
Cool, guess I will continue to avoid fast food.
Smart.
What a bullshit idea. I fucking hate this timeline we’re on.
Where I am, the price of fast food is just about equal to some restaurants. There’s no point in doing fast food anymore.
There is a local hamburger joint 3 blocks from my house that is far superior in taste, with lower prices, why the fuck would I ever go to endys?
If that place isn’t getting enough business, maybe you should suggest they advertise their prices.
A simple sign showing how their prices compare to the competition’s goes a long way.
I probably wouldn’t stop in a hole in the wall, just because they usually charge as much or more than chains. Doing what I suggest would change my mind, if the prices were right.
Seriously. Fast food just isn’t for poor people anymore.
We have to use grocery stores.
Thankfully, grocery shopping online is much easier now.
I say this to some many people. Wendy’s can get some good deals sometimes. Like BOGO spicy chicken, but if I order a meal from any fastfood place around me then just no. I would be better off just going to my Mexican restaurant across the street. On Tuesday is taco Tuesday (obvs) and you get 3 tacos, beans and rice for like $8-$9. They other deals weds, Thurs, but not as good as that Tuesday deal.
Same with me in Canada. I go local almost all the time other than my annual Burger King impossible Whopper
Guess I’m going to Taco Bell.
I’d rather Waffle House but we don’t have them here. Actually I’ll just order their hash browns for home and make that instead.
WH is a sit-down place. I need eat-in-my-car foods.
We’re so bad at employee management and don’t want to pay a living wage, so we’ll charge you extra when we’re busy. But wait, there’s more, we’re still not going to pay a living wage to hire more employees, so you’re not only going to pay more, but your wait will still be the same.
Why not just hike the prices and be done with it?
They will, after everyone tells them how much they hate this, they’ll ‘backtrack’ to higher pricing. They’re letting their first idea eat the hate and resistance so they can execute plan B.
I think this is exactly the plan. If the prices are constantly fluctuating, it will be easy to slowly rise them by a bit every week without everyone noticing.
Boiling frogs is literally becoming a business plan
This should be illegal.
Sure should. Conservatives think it’s great I’m sure.
ITS THR INVISIBLE HAND OF THE MARKET!!
A Dave’s Single combo already costs 12 bucks here. Fuck off Wendy’s, like hell we’re paying more for that.
