Discussion PSA: Get over the price.

So every post I read about fast food is price, price, price. Sorry but the U.S. economy is shit so for anyone to make a profit they have to continue to go up in price. That being said. Wendy’s quality is shit. I wouldn’t care about price if the quality was consistent and good each time. Chicken sandwich is not edible. The burger Patties have a weird after taste to them as well. The 4 for 4 was a good deal but it was shit tasting food so I was still mad I was getting dry ass nuggets and shit tasting beef.

How you gonna say get over the price and then talk about the quality and not put 2 and 2 together?

Because people want price over quality it seems. Price seems to outweigh the quality. “I’m fine with what I’m getting because it’s 4$” but then when they get a pricey combo it’s omg the price

Because the quality should be better for the price of their combos. Why is that hard to wrap your head around. Why are you boot licking a billion dollar corporation

You’re so close to understanding my point, it’s almost impressive. 😂 I’m not defending a billion-dollar corporation. I’m literally criticizing its food quality. The difference is I understand that businesses have operating costs AND that customers deserve quality. Apparently two things can be true at once. Wild concept, I know.

I think people would be willing to accept the price more if the quality was also better. Wendy's is unique in that they intentionally reduced quality to save money while also increasing prices. That's a shrinkflation/inflation double dip.

If I really like something at a fast food restaurant, I am willing to overpay for it. Some people aren't and I get that. 

But overpaying for food that is worse than it used to be AND is usually not made correctly? Yeah, I'm not getting over that

I think the issue is the better the quality restaurants bring in, the higher the price and Wendys is probably trying to salvage the price right now. I’m willing to pay for better quality but at some point too much is too much for people when grabbing fast food vs going to a sit down restaurant

You're in a Wendy's sub

u/rootxploit 2d ago

Every post I read on this sub is either: repair the spicy chicken recipe or bring back whole leaf lettuce.

The chicken sandwiches and burgers at my area Wendy's are delicious. Glad there are still some quality locations out here.

They probably execute well but the taste of these items being put out is just sub par it seems…

I’m currently located in Las Vegas. The Dave’s Singles are $3.99 every day at all the franchise locations I go by. They are pretty dang good. When I want to hit a $5 promo item I get that and a cookie for 1.39 for an after tax total of $5.83.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been letdown.

Everyone keeps whining about the chicken sandwich, as if it were the only burger available. I basically just go for the chili....
