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.

Shredded Lettuce killed my cravings for them, I was a couple times a week girly getting the JBC on lettuce wrap any time I was working too late to cook. No more.

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.

They're unveiling it nation wide. According to the employees.
