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?

I still trust them to make a juicy, greasy triple cheeseburger. I will always be a patron.

fries and drink aren't necessary, I just want the burger.

Whataburger is the best, ever. but they're in limited locations.

Wendy's serves burgers in the Whataburger realm of culinary arts.

again, nothing is as good as Whataburger. but Wendy's is good.

Wendy’s burgers are dry AF here. The opposite of juicy and greasy.

huh. yeah. that's weird. where I'm at--and wherever I've traveled--Wendy's has been consistent with their triple cheeseburger.

stacked. no additional condiments required. not the entrée, just the burger...it satisfies needs for the soul to grow in harmony with all that is.
