That’s a pretty fast turn around time on walking it back. I guess the backlash was intense. Too little too late though, I’m done with Wendy’s. The fact that they even wanted to do this is enough reason to never give them my business again.
This was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. I considered them an upper tier fast food place for decades. Past few years or so they have shit on all that.
They’ve been nearly dead to me for awhile, but they are fully dead to me now.
Yeah, adjusting prices each hour or each days is kind of stupid.
But when you’re looking at price adjusting in weeks or months to follow the seasons…it makes more sense but stupid nonetheless.
Good call. As with every other industry where bullshit rent-seeking has taken hold, the attempted fee tack-on and walkback are an experiment in how far they can go before appeasing customers. It’s about testing waters before wearing people down. Rest assured, the one CEO’s peers have taken note of this noble effort. Eventually, as they see it, one of them will succeed in making it stick, paving the way for them all to do the same. The first CEO to make it stick will get additional bonuses, praise, and a higher level of notoriety within their rarefied circles.

When a company says its investing millions to offer value they really mean to extract value, hoping us dum dums beleive them.
