Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

[Acylum]

Inflation in the last 3+ years is made up. Prices have actually gone down.

Never was a huge fan of Wendy's but randomly had to grab a meal at an airport a month ago and the only option around was a Wendy's and they had the best fries I've ever gotten from a restaurant.

Not a big religion guy but finding good food at an airport wendy's is an unexplainable miracle.

Not all Chick-Fil-A's are created equally either. When I lived out on the east coast it was terrible but the DSM locations are money every time. I ate at one down in Mississippi a couple summers ago and it was pretty bad. The franchise owner has a lot to do with it.

Their breakfast is underrated as well. Their spicy chicken biscuit is right up there with the best fast food breakfasts on the market.

You can eat healthy for a reasonable price. It's the processed crap that adds up quickly.

Yeah, the "healthy is more expensive" line hasn't true for a bit now. Granted, it had been a couple years since I ate at McDonald's so I still believed it until a few months ago when in a pinch, I stopped for a 2 cheeseburger meal. It was over $11 for the "regular size" not even sure what that is, but it's not the giant size. I just said give me the rugular size.

It takes a little thought and planning, but I could easily make a healthy, tasty and filling lunch for at least half that price.

Dumb but I haven't been to Wendy's in ten years so I probably don't count. Seems like this would mess with their other promotions/couponing.

Taco Bell could charge 3x for their horrific food late at night and the drunk/high customers wouldn’t notice.

Taco Bell has gotten stupid expensive. I took my son to one a few weeks back and I had a meal and he had 2 soft shells and the total was like $24.

Their prices were already outrageous as is.

In Waukee and West Des Moines it seems to take 20 minutes to get through the car drive through process - even if you're car #1. Do I get charged on the time I got in line, get to the window, or get my cold food?

One of these chains should drop advertising and cut prices radically. Just one round of advertising letting everyone know they are way more affordable.

Use In & Out model of slightly better product, smaller menu, lowest prices and almost zero ad budget.

This is what cookout does in the south, except its way better product.

I'm not opposed to this as a concept

Supply and demand driven pricing is fine, but only if I know the price going in. I wait in that line and my meal for the fam jumps from $35 to $50 without warning?

Nah.

As long as the price isn’t above said price on menu board I’m good with it too
