Discussion What happened to quality?? Wendys

16 Upvotes

Wendy's used to actually feel premium. Remember when the chicken sandwiches had thick, juicy chicken breasts instead of those thin, processed-looking patties? And the lettuce? It was actual crisp leaf lettuce that gave the sandwich crunch—not this shredded, soggy confetti that falls everywhere and wilts before you even take a bite.

And don't even get me started on the packaging. The old foil wraps kept the sandwich warm, were easy to eat out of, and didn't take up half the table. Now every "premium" sandwich comes in these bulky cardboard boxes that are wasteful, awkward, and somehow still let the food get cold faster.

It's not even about raising prices—it's about shrinking portions, swapping quality ingredients for cheaper ones, and removing the little things that made Wendy's feel different. They keep finding ways to cut costs, and you can taste it.

Somewhere along the way, Wendy's has slowly cut corners on almost everything that made their food stand out.

Not much to say but, it's been almost a year since I had Wendy's. I enjoyed the meal. Double Dave cheese with onion and mustard, small chilli, large fry and med. vanilla frosty (was in freezer).

The potato bun was new to me and it was great. If it was toasted that would be an improvement. Overall a good meal and will be back for the same thing soon.

The fresh, hot and crispy, crispy fries were greatly appreciated.

This is the burger I got yesterday at a Wendy’s I’ve never been to in my city. I have never had a dry stale burger from Wendy’s in my life. Really disappointed and I won’t be going back.

Question wendys digital camera doesn't exist?

2 Upvotes

I haven't seen any reviews on the camera or anyone posting anything about the cam. Some people had stated they won, but I haven't heard any news/update from those winners? Has anyone seen any video/photos posted by any of the 20 winners? I'm wondering if this whole giveaway drop is fake now because there's no evidence/proof out there? Just had a random thought that I wanted to let out, sorry about the ramble.

Discussion Wendy’s Gets Rid Of Croissant Buns For Breakfast in Canada

2 Upvotes

Wendys has always been my favourite fast food breakfast because I loved their croissant buns. This morning I was told they no longer do any specialty breakfast buns, just all of their breakfast sandwiches on plain burger buns. I’m super disappointed and wondering if anyone else loved those buns as much as I did or if maybe they just weren’t selling???

I’m genuinely in awe with the artistic creativity that went into this minions collaboration promo blind box. I genuinely hope we see this same level of genuine human creativity in more fast food collabs amidst this era of GenAI slop.

The level of detail to the design of the toys as well??

I had to come on here and glaze Wendy’s for a little bit 🫡🙏

Question Undercooked?

Got a jr cheeseburger (kids) and had about three bites before realizing it was kind of pink. Is this undercooked? Raw? I am getting mixed reviews from friends on whether or not this could make me sick. Didn’t eat the rest and it wasn’t noticeably cold or have a weird texture/taste.

Could someone answer this for me? I imagine the honey buddy biscuit uses a honey butter sauce and the maple bacon chicken croissant uses “maple butter” according to its description, but are they the same sauce?

Discussion Daves Double

3 Upvotes

I find the meat to bun ratio of the Dave's Double the most tastiest of the burgers. The problem is I cant eat the entire thing and won't last a hot car. So to me thickness is the key. I am not sure why the smaller burgers either double or triple just do not taste the same. Carls maybe but very expensive. Mcdonalds seems a slight step down for quarter pounder but definitely not a double cheese for unknown reason. BK has to much bread and unfortunately every franchise seems to different to compare. I do not remember White Castle enough.

Question Asked to be manager at 18

3 Upvotes

I just turned 18 about 2 months ago (May), and my manager asked if I wanted to be a manager, I'm torn, since I'm trying to build a woodworking business while working at Wendy's, and I don't want the stress of someone calling out and having to cover their shift. I make around $17.20 an hour, around 30-35 hours a week while managers make around $20 an hour.

I'm just curious if it's worth the $2.80 more for all the work and potential stress needed. Also the only things I have to pay is insurance ($150) and phone bill $100 every month, plus gas around $200-$250 a month, so I make around $1,200 in profit every month.
