Nickle-Dimed retailers are collapsing all over.Cops making $400k/yt with overtime, UPS drivers $200k/yr, Franchise CEO $1Billion/yr, Cable Guy $200k/yr, Bus Driver 100k/yr added sales tax, import taxs, franchise fees, st imcome tax, fed incone tax. Not worth beinf a retailer anymore.
Wendy's did have higher quality food back in the late '70s, early '80s and I did enjoy the triple, as well as the apple dumpling. The quality relative to other places at least went way downhill after Dave died. The prices were still good and I still like the triple, but places like five guys, in'n'out burger, and Portillo's, and many more are way better. Don't even talk to me about Culver's, which is terrible and makes you wait a long time for food. But the prices on the better places have become insane and so I do the smarter thing and make my own lunch and avoid the fast food places most of the time.
