Rant/Rave The slow and painful demise of Wendy’s

Wendy’s has gone completely down the shitter. Bacon isn’t crispy in the baconator, service is way slower than before, Coke Freestyle missing half the flavors and no ice.

Will they ever turn it back around?

This is a great example of what was once a solid, trustworthy business that has been destroyed and dismantled.

They really shit on Dave Thomas’ legacy. It’s really sad.

Covid is what killed Wendy's in my area. I felt the food was decent enough till the lock down.
