      Same I love me some Wendy’s chicken nuggets and sandwich. A frosty once in a while is nice. Even enjoyed some of their breakfast stuff they added a few years back. Not a damn cent since Trump 2024/figured out they repub donors. Eat shit. Love driving by and seeing the Wendy’s empty as fuck.

      Also, they have Palantir AI tangled in their management and running the supply chain.

      The same company that is trying to make the entire world a surveillance state, and are giddy about their AI being used to kill military targets.

        A couple months ago I went to a Wendy’s and AI took my order.

        That was the last time I went to a Wendy’s.

            It was technically smooth and got my order right, but the whole time I was irritated that the money saved on a computer doing the job was not likely to find its way to the employees preparing food.

      Explains why they haven’t updated the menu since forever. Conservatives fear anything new.

        Explains why the whole chain is dogshit. Dining areas closed, drinks give you diabetes, chicken is fried to death, nuggets are stale, burgers have forever chemicals in them, cookies are the wrong flavor. Literally everything is designed to be crap.

      I stopped ordering from them because they pay their employees garbage wages and expect them to perform like they’re being paid at a king’s ransom.

      Case in point the Wendy’s near me was running with two people for over half a year. This was long after the pandemic by the way.

        This is an app called “Goods Unite Us” on Android. I think they have a site and iPhone app too.

          Cool, but I’m skeptical of how accurate this is. According to the app, Amazon predominantly supports Democrats (by a 2 to 1 margin), and donated to Kamala but not the Orange Pedophile. That seems fishy seeing how Bezos was getting the VIP treatment at the inauguration. Am I misunderstanding something (won’t be the first time)?

            It does seem out of date. I hadn’t used it in awhile. I hope it’s not shovelware.

          Or you can just use the website and not take up room on your device and let them data mine you.

              I could not agree more. One of the very worst things about the “modern” web.

            The app has zero permissions and takes up ~65MB.

      I stopped ordering from them because of the heartburn and reflux. I stopped meeting friends there because of their morals. And I’ll mock them endlessly for sponsoring their own destruction.

      I hope that the employees from all these Wendy’s (nutsonyourchin, I’m sorry!) land jobs at Costco and that local restaurants succeed at establishing roots in the ashes of this cursed company.
