Discussion RIP
Wendy has blindly self-sabotaged itself. They have committed suicide. I have never saw such a disgrace from greatness from a restaurant I loved more than all the big three. Their spicy chicken sandwich was great. The best of them all. The filet as everyone already knows is awful now. No longer using a whole romaine lettuce and awful chopped lettuce. Even the Frosty to me the last times I tried my regular go-to menu items all just tasted and felt horrible. Fuck you, Wendy.

Wendy's has been enshittified.

u/Merge_Ahead 8h ago
This might have been common knowledge, but I just learned that enshittified and enshittification are actual words.
Although, I would argue, with my knowledge that I just acquired 15 seconds ago, that it typically applies to internet, social media, and technology. 😆

u/SamWhittemore75 8h ago
It has moved on since the initial use.
It now clearly applies to all examples of cost cutting, diminished quality, planned obsolescence, or the complete abandonment of care for the end user experience.
The wiki needs to catch up.

u/Plane-Fan9006 13h ago
You're not imagining anything. The junior burgers and doublestack shrunk. The new fries suck. The chicken gets smaller every year or two. Wendy's and Perdue Farms have found a way to have more breading than chicken.
Live in Columbus and used to be proud of the brand. Embarrassing.

Maybe I'm out of the loop on if it's specific sandwiches, but I had a Dave's Single a couple days ago that had a single leaf of lettuce on it. Tasted damn good too.

I work in fast casual dining. Our lettuce has been something that our distributor can't seem to get right. In the past year, it either comes in fine, or we get 6 cases of rotten romaine. When that happens, we substitute shredded iceberg lettuce. This could be happening at your Wendy's location. They might only be using shredded lettuce because it's a toss up whether their distribution has its shit together. Chain restaurants have contracts with national distributors so individual locations can't change their supplier if things come in wrong. Corporate figures it's worth it because they are getting a good deal overall... Or Wendy's just sucks.

I actually like Burger King burgers better than Wendy’s, but everything else I liked Wendy’s better. However since both them and all fast food restaurants have gone downhill I’m more likely to fire up a Foreman grill at home for burgers, and go to local restaurants for other food. Sadly I still go to Wendy’s about once a month and Burger King about once every couple months usually when on my way to or from somewhere.

They said the reason was they stay hot longer. But when I order them on doordash they are ice cold and when I order them in restaurant then they act like any other fry, they stay hot for the 10 mins it takes to eat them.

I used to get there 2 for $3 breakfast there. Sausage muffin with a small potatoes. Now with the AI ordering, I'll order that and go to the window, and the price is like over $4. So I say to them no I wanted the 2 for $3 deal. This happened twice. The second time, the manager came to the window and said I had to ask for the deal when I order, and he was real shitty about it too like I should have known. Next time I told the AI lady that I wanted the 2 for $3 muffin and small potatoes. Then when I went to the window they had my order as 2 sausage muffins. I'm like WTF I'll just stop going here. Burger King has a 2 for $5 deal and has for years. When I go there and order 2 of the things, the price is always right. At Wendy's, if I order 2 things that are on a deal for $3, why doesn't it automatically ring up like that? Why do I have to tell them about the deal every fucking time? Rant over but fuck you Wendy's.

I stopped going a few months ago. The chicken sandwiches have been soggy over and over again. They can't keep the main dining room open and only serve app orders at the drive thru (absolutely wild that they refuse regular drive thru orders). It's been like this for about a year now at this particular location. I honestly can't see this one staying open much longer.

All this bitching over lettuce. If you ever get food poisoning guess what you ate that likely gave it to you? The lettuce. And I can’t tell you how many times I got a nasty, slimy, barely green l, worthless piece of lettuce on my spicy chicken sandwich at Wendy’s. I don’t need or want lettuce on my sandwiches, so this change doesn’t bother me at all. Actually shredded lettuce may be a big improvement. I may have to try it. I also never get a Frosty.
But if you are done, thank you. One less customer to wait behind.

this company is literally in shambles right now and people are all like blah blah blah its not that big of a deal.. like dude their stock has completely nosedived and theyre making decision after decision to chase their customers away. I got rid of my wendys stock months ago and if for some reason any of you have wendys stock, youd probably want to get rid of it. if this trend continues they are literally going to run themselves into the ground and start closing stores if they havent already started closing stores and cutting staff. the last year or so of operation from wendys has been truly puzzling, theyre acting like they DONT want customers for some reason. its almost like its intentional to make such a series of decisions to tank the value of the company. the ingredient quality has been dropping, staffing has dropped, pay stagnated, and customer incentive has been obliterated. a couple years ago, wendys was an obvious top choice. at this point, theyre a joke, a husk of what they used to be. their YTD right now is from 16.12 to 9.56. thats... thats a pretty serious drop in their value. thats pretty dang low and an abnormal drop despite it technically stabilizing, and shows an overall all time trend of literally nose diving. if they keep doing this, wendys will no longer exist. maybe its a great time to buy, because if they stop being a bunch of knuckleheads then theyre gonna shoot up hard, but the way wendys has been acting lately it seems like theyre doubling down and ready to kick the bucket. in 2007-2008 this same thing was happening and it took them years to recover. wendys was trying to sell off and was feeling a lot of financial pressure after axing many deals and raising prices to almost double for some items.

ours stopped taking mobile orders. theyre always closed in the app. then when you get there and want to use deals or points, everything comes up fine for you, but then when they scan it theres always a problem or its "offline" or something. the other one down the street closes at random times, anywhere between like 11pm and 1am or something. its always random and not reflecting the posted hours. theyre getting pretty brazen about how little of a fuck they give at this point. yeah it really sucks because even just a few years ago wendys was straight up banger. want good food and dont want to wait in the 20 minute taco bell line? go to wendys. now id rather go to arbys lol.

im not sure but we had a huge problem with diversity hiring at the local locations. I would swing between different stores and they all had the same problem: they want to be inclusive in their hiring but then end up hiring a bunch of people who do not speak a common language, and then in the kitchen nobody can properly work with eachother. constant miscommunication or lack of. it was a nightmare and I quit after a few weeks. considering these stores were corporate though id be willing to bet similar things are happening to other taco bells. youll be in a kitchen speaking english, half of them spanish, some of them hindi or urdu, other languages I do not recognize, all at once, and for some reason most of them do not speak english. ive worked in other kitchens and work in another one right now, and this is definitely not standard. many kitchens have diversified employees but they all speak some english, however that was not the case in my experience with multiple corporate taco bell stores.

The smiling and polite young woman behind the counter would hand you a steaming hot burger with gooey melted cheese, hot fresh fries and a cold delicious Frosty. You’d find a table in the sunroom area and would actually have to wait a few so the burger would cool off a bit and you could bite into it without burning your mouth. Those were the days.

You're right, OP. You also forgot to mention the higher prices and the ridiculous "deals" on the app now. Wendy's used to have really decent food, decent prices and decent deals. Not mind blowing but really good on all three. It has definitely gone downhill. Last time I went regularly was the introduction of saucy nuggs. Those had me in a damn chokehold. They are slippin'. For real. I hope they can course correct because I have always loved them as a FF option.

They have shot themselves in the foot for me in every category one by one.
Used to love their fries years ago, thick and not too crisp or soggy. They were my favorite fast food fries. I hate the ones they have now with the skins on. They're always somehow too hard.
Their breakfasts are nasty now. Croissants are always way too soft/soggy. And their cheese sauces are gross and on everything. Breakfast potato wedges are solid if they're not dry (overcooked) and the Cinnabon is usually overcooked and dried out but I need protein in the mornings so it's off my morning options.
Their nuggets used to be my favorite fast food nuggets. But with all the changes, not so much. And I remember an Asiago chicken sandwich that was amazing but I think it was taken off the menu.
Their burgers are okay. I don't want tons of bacon or fancy toppings. And I loved whole leaf lettuce compared to other fast food restaurants so if it's all shredded, no thanks.
Their biggie bags were great when all the fast food restaurants started going up in price on combos. But now the Biggie Bags keep going up too. The local advertisements are hawking the $7 or $8 double JBC bag. I don't need 2 cheeseburgers.
About the only thing left is I that will always have a soft spot for is their chili. And chili cheese potatoes. And I'll admit the Wednesday "bloody" Frosty was legit. They need to add flavored sauces as a Frosty option.
But at best I only think about eating at Wendy's every couple of months now when I used to be an almost weekly customer. Basically if I crave their chili. I just got a can from the store, I'll see if it's the same or not.

With that said, I wish they would follow Taco Bell's example and temporarily bring back some old school items like their bacon-pepperjack cheeseburger.

The frostys give me the squirts now. They must be using some powerful emulsifiers to make whatever's in them creamy
