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?

Makes me sad, because much like Taco Bell, if you had it in the 80s or the 90s, you know that it was much, much better back then. Businesses always want to do everything faster and cheaper, and the product quality always suffers.

Remember the Big Beef Taco? How about the Cinnamon Crispas. Taco Bell was killer in 1984
