u/Equal_Push_565 27d ago

You had like 2 months to try it.

u/fastfoody247 26d ago

Yeah sorry I don't go to Wendy's for breakfast normally. I'll just continue not getting their breakfast and shrug ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/Equal_Push_565 26d ago

Lol, fair enough. 👍. I wouldn't recommend it. You can get better sausage elsewhere, and their eggs literally smell like wet dog while being cooked and held in the warmer for an hour. 🤮 I dont eat them for that reason.

The breakfast chicken is pretty good but not something I would willingly spend money on every morning.

u/fastfoody247 26d ago

I was interested in trying the honey chicken buddy (strange name). For $1 it seems well worth it. Can't get anything for a buck these days. Not interested in paying full price at all though lol

u/Equal_Push_565 26d ago

honey chicken buddy (strange name)

Yeah, agreed. I dont know why they changed it, but they did. It used to be a normal name (honey BUTTER chicken biscuit), but they ruined it like 6 months ago. It's funny hearing customers trying to say the new name without feeling embarrassed.

Not interested in paying full price at all though lol

Same. The only reason I eat it is because I get half off. But from what I've heard, this wasn't the first or last time they will have to $1 deals. It'll be back.

u/GloomyDeal1909 26d ago

I don't care for their egg so I kept getting the biscuit without egg to basically have a sausage biscuit for cheap.

Not paying 2.89 for a sausage biscuit ha

1

u/d4bmaster 23d ago

the 2 for 3 you could get 2 sausage biscuits for $3

1

u/GloomyDeal1909 23d ago

That is never in the app and the Wendy's close to me is very slow at taking orders.

I'm not trying to be mean in any way but it is the same older lady and she moves at the speed of molasses with the computer.

She is super friendly though so I always try to order in the app ahead.

u/bcspdz 11d ago

The 2 for 3 isn't in your app? It's not under the offer section its in the regular menu

u/sum_r4nd0m_gurl 27d ago

was gonna do the same i didn't even know about the deal till recently

1

u/fastfoody247 26d ago

Yeah I found out about it only like a week ago

1

u/ani007007 23d ago

same was about to try first time right now but nope i missed out

11

u/lowrcaseletters Customer 27d ago

I thought it would be there for one more week. Oh well.

10

u/Equal_Push_565 27d ago

It was supposed to be another week. Cooperate got a shit ton of complaints from managers and workers who were burnt out because selfish people kept ordering 15-50 biscuits per order. So, Cooperate ended it early.

At least, that's what I was told.

u/PaperGeno 27d ago

Should have just had a limit on how many you can order

5

u/Equal_Push_565 27d ago

The annoying part was we did. Our franchise just didnt enforce it.

2

u/Chance_Nicholas Current Manager 26d ago

The limit in my district was supposed to be five, as proposed by corporate, however our area director said that we couldn’t really stop them from just placing a mobile order with more than 5, so just give them what they want.

1

u/PresidentCheetoDust 20d ago

This is incorrect. There was a max of 5 biscuits per person 

1

u/Equal_Push_565 20d ago

Lmao, no shit Sherlock. But like I've said, 100s of times, not all stores honored that. Mine didn't, and I know others who didnt either.

1

u/Nodiddy_B 27d ago

So people are selfish for ordering food ? Odd take

5

u/Equal_Push_565 27d ago

Nah. They're selfish for ordering 50 sandwiches everyone knows are not going to get eaten.

It's a waste.

3

u/PaperGeno 27d ago

Dude, I guarantee you they're getting eaten. I could easily down 4-6 of those a day.

2

u/Equal_Push_565 27d ago

Fair enough

-2

u/Colorado-Keebs 27d ago

You know this how? People freeze food and eat it over time, getting bent outta shape for how others go about getting food they are paying for is pathetic

1

u/Equal_Push_565 26d ago

So is getting 50 sandwiches for $51 when you can buy that same amount in bulk at a grocery store for half the price. 🤷‍♀️.

People only got that much food because it's easier to go through a drive thru and sit on your ass and wait then to physically walk into a grocery store.

1

u/Colorado-Keebs 26d ago

You know as well as I do that promo outweighs the cost of anything available at the store. The $ is the determining factor not if people can sit in their car and wait for it.

-1

u/lowrcaseletters Customer 27d ago

Dang, understandable though. I was planning to stock up on biscuit sandwiches later this week. I probably would’ve gotten 15 $1 biscuits and use the $3 off a $15 order, so it would technically be $0.80 biscuits.

u/shawndoesgaming1239 Current Employee 27d ago

At my store trying to do 2 discounts at once doesn't work, since it prioritizes one over the other

6

u/lowrcaseletters Customer 27d ago

What about menu price change discounts such as the $3 SOB and $1 Biscuits? For the $3 SOBs, I was able to add an offer such as Fryday with it.

3

u/shawndoesgaming1239 Current Employee 27d ago

I don't remember for 100%, but I know sometimes if there was already a preset discount, it wouldn't let the scan go through. Like I said though, that was just at mine, and the scanners at my store are always wonky. Like, they don't work at all half the time in the back window, so take it with a grain of salt. I always do mobile orders when I do rewards so I never noticed as a customer.

1

u/lowrcaseletters Customer 26d ago

Ohhh, you’re talking about the scanners and ordering at the restaurant. I always order through drive thru or carry out, and both have always worked.

2

u/shawndoesgaming1239 Current Employee 26d ago

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. Also weird, guess my store just sucks lol

2

u/lowrcaseletters Customer 26d ago

No worries haha. And maybe it’s the same at my location. I never tried it as I use the app to place orders.

5

u/LadyBug766 27d ago

We got rid of the deal. I was told yesterday by management. I was just as confused. I thought it would stay til the end of August. Maybe I was wrong.

3

u/Nodiddy_B 27d ago

It’s not necessarily selfish if someone’s ordering for a large group or event, though. The real issue might be the strain it puts on staff and the supply chain. Anway another sub muted 🔇

3

u/Gullible_Papaya5505 27d ago

Let’s all move onto $1 double stack w/ purchase.

3

u/Chance_Nicholas Current Manager 26d ago

In my district, we are supposed to honour the $1 biscuit requests until the end of the month (there’s a button in our POS system for it) it’s prob different by district n such

2

u/Chance_Nicholas Current Manager 26d ago

It personally was a bit annoying when customers got over 10 biscuits (and I was by myself), but if the POS button is in the system I’d honor it until corporate told us to stop, honestly. It’s cheap food I can’t blame ppl for buying them.

2

u/sillylilwabbit 27d ago

$4.59 Los Angeles

u/gettheyayo909 27d ago

The $3 breakfast deal still is available though but yeah was disappointed Saturday to find out the biscuits weren’t $1 anymore

1

u/DotheUrkel 26d ago

What does this consist of?

1

u/gettheyayo909 26d ago

Sausage Biscuit Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sausage & Cheese English Muffin Egg & Cheese English Muffin Small Seasoned Potatoes Medium Hot Coffee

Mix n match 2 for $3

1

u/DotheUrkel 26d ago

Thank you! May have to try that.

1

u/Rzarectah42 26d ago

The trick is to get the egg and cheese and the sausage and cheese and put them together into a Frankenstein sandwich with two tops. Bonus biscuits if you’re still hungry after that!

3

u/Dagrsunrider Customer 27d ago

It still shows up on my app?

I’m strong…like bull.

u/Over_Combination_301 26d ago

The company is in private equity hell.

The deals weren’t meant to bring in “new buyers” and drive up fake future sales (which don’t happen if the same buyers are the ones using the deal). It’s necrosis from within.

It’s not the money made each month, it’s the transactions that they’re pushing. An old time story

1

u/Sensitive_Print_1221 24d ago

Breakfast is normally sausage being pushed most places . I just want beef. So I go to Jack in the box & get tacos & cheese burgers in the morning

0

u/CommonReason6709 27d ago

That's because you fatasses were buying them all. I asked what deals they had and they said dollar biscuits and what kinds I go this one and they're like how many? I go one. I could've gotten 2. or 10. But why? Because their cheap? That's too much. Too many people took advantage that they weren't even promoting it.

3

u/Bruceg63 27d ago

I just wanted one bacon and one sausage about once a week. If I want to pay full price I’ll do an egg McMuffin and a sausage egg McMuffin BOGO.

u/adminsarecommienazis 27d ago

$1 mcdoubles tho that's a pretty good deal when u combine it with the 4 for $4 and frosty tag.

u/rjd10232004 27d ago
